Cat Shadow outfit, no clear mask as promo page

Do anybody know how to turn the blue mask into the clear one? I've tried to search for every parameters I could guess but found nowhere. Thx in advance.

I hadn't tried to do that yet, but I just went in and attempted it and it isn't cut and dry lol. The visor is Helmet_H in the surface tab. I took off the base color and metal maps, turned metal all the way to 0 since that doesn't seem to be metal if it's like a visor but you can try it at 1 still. I also took out the emission map and turned that color to black to turn the emission off. Then I turned the translucency weight all the way up to one and brought the cutout opacity down to .14. I also brought the glossy roughness up to 1. I'm sure if you fiddle around with it, I'm sure you can get a color tint like in the original photo and such, but as you can see in the photo I attached here, it looks pretty close. Good luck!

Can't believe that we have to do so. Thank you very much benniewoodell. Owe you once!

Try applying a different shader to the surface. There are several glass shaders that could do what you are looking for.

Thank you Chezjuan. But I've tried all my thin glass shaders (with many lighting sets) and found out that all of them never looked as good as it's shown in promo pic. I think that it's hard to believe that the vendor doesn't give us this basic option. He shows us one thing but gives us another. Can't help but think that it's really his responsibility he ignores.

It has six material options for the helmet, have you tried them all?

Shadow Cat Helmet A, B, C, D, E and F

Yes, PerttiA. All the options are about something else. Not glass.

Trying to render a quick portion now but it looks very similar to the promo if you turn off the emissions- set it to pure black 0,0,0 and play around with the cut out opacity (you might not need to change the cut out opactity once you change the emissions to black).

Edit- added picture. I just put up a quick spotlight for lighting on her when I dropped her in something I was working on- but it looks like that might be what was used in the promo? Emissions off and maybe playing with the opacity of Helmet_H...?
