Lit area as transparent?
But what i want to achieve is to light a polysphere and have the lit area become transparent whilst the shaded area remains visible, is it possible?
I've tried using a glass shader to achieve the result with no joy, but if a 'lit area' can be networked to the objects transparency then the sphere needn't be glass at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks

whereever the light shines the object is transparent, and where the light doesn't hit, the object is opaque.
