alpha means empty = transparent. create a checkerFile (black and white) and map it to the transparency channel. create a light with rayTracing shadows. render.


everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

Thanks for the reply but I am a bit confused.
user added image

for example,

I have a layered texture. it contains a Grid texture and a checker texture (black and white) now I have to make alpha (masking )settings such that I will see checker as black and white tiles and Grid as a grouting between the tiles.

How exaxtly we can achieve that by "alpha settings"
