opacity vs transparency

[soulburn3d]

Opacity is just the opposite of transperency. If something is 100% opaque, then it's 0% transperent. If it's 75% transoarent, then it's 25% opaque. Different materials and render engines just prefer using one term over the other, it's exactly the same concept.

Ok, thank you. At least I will know there's nothing bizzare with these terms.
