Hi, I’m trying to create a glass-like material while it is able to see through a solid object at the back. At first, I thought MeshPhysicMaterial is limited to this functionality and there is a limitation for threejs in order to do this using uniform it’s provided in the shader. But then saw a GLT…

Yayy! Through your hint, I’m able to achieve it by setting material.transparent to false for the back opaque object.

See trough another object in MeshPhysicMaterial

it exists for vanilla as well. mpm looks inferior, can’t “see” transparent or transmissive objects, and will also run slower.
