If you want to make an object transparent in Blender's edit mode, there are a few different ways to do it. One way is to use the "Shade Smooth" setting in the Object Data tab of the Properties editor. This will make your object transparent in the viewport, but not in the render.

Another way to make an object transparent in edit mode is to use the "Alpha Over" setting in the Material tab of the Properties editor. This will make your object transparent in both the viewport and the render.

Finally, you can use the "Transparency" setting in the Render tab of the Properties editor. This will make your object transparent in the render, but not in the viewport.

Which method you use depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you want your object to be transparent in the render, but not in the viewport, then use the "Transparency" setting in the Render tab. If you want your object to be transparent in both the viewport and the render, then use the "Alpha Over" setting in the Material tab.

Q: How do you add transparency in blender?

A: 1. Select the object you want to add transparency to. 2. In the Properties window, go to the Materials tab. 3. In the Properties window, go to the Transparency panel. 4. In the Transparency panel, choose the type of transparency you want to use. 5. In the Transparency panel, adjust the Transparency value to control the amount of transparency.

Q: How do you make an object transparent in viewport?

A: There are a few ways to do this, but the most straight-forward way is to simply change the object's transparency in the Properties panel:

  1. With the object selected, go to the Properties panel (N).
  2. In the Properties panel, find the "Object Display" section.
  3. Change the "Alpha" value to something lower than 1.0. A value of 0.5 will make the object 50% transparent.
  4. You may need to disable "Backface Culling" in the same section in order to see the backside of transparent faces.
