Importing Glass models and tetures.

Hello Friends, I'm looking for a way to import glass models and textures. I've tried several variations of importing models/textures. From 1% opacity colours, alpha only pngs, etc. Models come in clean, textures always come in black. No other problems importing none glass models.

I design most of my models in 3ds Max then export .fbx with turbosmooth options turned off.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. If I missed a step, let me know.

Thanks,

      Hey Pablos, No such luck. Ive tried for several days to get a transparent material to import into Horizon. I taught myself the basics of blender shading as Im a 3ds max guy. 

      Ive followed many tutorials on glass and transparent objects for Blender. But I cant get any of the dozens of variations to import correctly. They all import white. I couldnt even get a cube to import transparent or glass like.

      The link you provided although helpful is vague to the actual importing a clean model. Alot of info seems to be missing or lost in translation.

      Thanks for your time. Any other suggestions?

        Would you be comfortable sharing screenshots of your current material/shader setup in Blender? This could help me identify what might be causing the issue.

        If you prefer not to share, I can try to provide some specific troubleshooting steps for Horizon-compatible transparency.
