blend (Sprite) 657
Description
3D backdrop, overlay, and #standard shader property; indicates the opacity of the backdrop,
overlay, or shader.
Setting the
blend property of a shader will have no effect unless the shader’s transparent
property is set to
TRUE.
The range of this property is 0 to 100, and the default value is 100.
Example
This statement sets the blend property of the shader for the model named Window to 80. If the
transparent property of Window’s shader is set to TRUE, the model will be slightly transparent.
member("House").model("Window").shader.blend = 80

Description
Sprite property; returns or sets a sprite’s blend value, from 0 to 100, corresponding to the blend
values in the Sprite Properties dialog box. Read/write.

color depth.
For best results, use the blend ink with images that have a color depth greater than 8-bit.

sprite(3).blend = 40
// JavaScript syntax
sprite(3).blend = 40;
