How to use alpha transparent textures in Blender | EVEE and Cycles

In this tutorial I am gonna explain how you can apply alpha transparent textures to any object in blender.

To watch a 90 seconds quick solution
How to use alpha transparent textures in Blender in Under 90 Seconds | EVEE and Cycles

You have to add a mix shader

One connected with color output where as other connected with transparent output

and at last Alpha texture in factorial input in mix shader .

But this not the end .

Now you have to go into materials properties and change blend mode to alpha clip to get the best results

.

This setting of nodes applies to both

EVEE and Cycles and you need not to change anything what so ever.

For anyone trying to make the SHADOWS also follow the alpha shape, underneath "Blend Mode" in the material attributes, also change "Shadow Mode" to alpha clip.
This is a great video, thank you!

Not working in cycles no matter what I do, 3.5.1 version, been trying the whole day, I followed the tutorial several times and there's no way to solve it (I managed to solve it)

i can't believe its so longwinded, why can't blender just read alpha channels and give us our transparency :(

[islamtemmam]

cant find alpha blend in settings .. Blender 3.2

I can swear I did this effect by simple drag and drop '_' .

OMG this is so annoying and complex! I don't understand why everyone doesn't totally hate Eevee and want the old render back.

If you can't find the Blend mode in Settings, expand the Viewport Display tab and you'll see it there.

Hiya, Thanks for the tutorial. Just as a suggestion, in Photoshop when you have an already transparent picture, you can get the transparency map with: Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency.

Thanks! I don't know why the easier way that works in Cycles doesn't work for Eevee, but no big deal. Thank you!

I Have a problem, i still see some black parts on the texture when i move the camera around

[marantavariegata]

beginner here, thank you so much! I've been trying to figure out why all my images with alpha channel were importing as having black background for an hour now, and only in this video have I realised my alpha clip option wasn't enabled...sending good karma your way, internet stranger :)

[SFlorianSabo]

You can just connect the alpha nodes. ^^
