====== Description ======
The **transparency.type** texture property is linked with the **[[gamedev:textureproperties:transparency|transparency]]** texture property. It defines if a texture is fully transparent or masked transparent. See the 
**[[gamedev:textureproperties:transparency|transparency]]** for a detailed explanation.

The value is typically a single component value with the data set to 0 or 1. 0 tells the Graphic Module to render this material as a masked transparent material. A value of 1 tells the Graphic Module to render this material as a fully transparent material. Values less than 0.5 map to 0 while all other values map to 1. Values other than 0 and 1 should be avoided.

The default value for this texture property is 0 hence the Graphic Module renders the material as a masked material.
