Hello, I want to make a remote Meta Avatar fade in and out. I can't find a way to make the avatar transparent. I can't find a way to access the mesh render and change the alpha channel. It must be possible as in the documentation they put best practice to fade in the avatar on loading:

Did you ever figure out how to do this with the built in Horizon shaders? I'm wanting to do a similar thing.

This is such an important question. Finding how to change the material of these avatars is no small task.
Any Meta Developer wants to chime in?

Maybe this will work - not the best way, but straightforward:

get all MeshRenderers with GetComponentsInChildren
set up alpha blending on each material (not sharedMaterial!)

I don’t know what material shader the avatars have, so I don’t know exactly how you’ll need to set up alpha blending.
