Now that we are familiar with translucent materials, why don't we spice things up a little bit and see what other cool effects we can create using the same blend mode? An interesting one that comes to mind is holograms—the ever-so-sci-fi, cool-looking effect that we can see in futuristic movies. This can be quite an interesting technique to implement, as not only are we going to deal with transparent surfaces, but also with animated textures and light-emitting properties.
All in all, holograms are going to enable us to revisit certain topics we already know something about while discovering new features of the material editor, which will come in handy not just in this recipe, but in any animated material we want to create in the future. Let's see what it's all about!
