Semi-transparent Textures on Objects with AO Turned On
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

I've noticed a curious aesthetic bug regarding certain objects. The screen of the PC monitor object, which accompanied the Helicopters DLC, appears semi-transparent when you view it with the ambient occlusion on. Turn the ambient occlusion off, and the problem desists. I've also had the same issue with custom objects that I've made myself. Here's a thread on the issue, created by good old IndeedPete: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/179335-issues-with-re-texing-the-splendid-new-office-displays/

Additional Information

If possible, I'd love to know why this is occurring, so I can implement a fix for my own content :P

I've also noticed this transparency / AO issue affects the new Tanoa garbage - namely, the cinder blocks.

Getting a little closer to fixing this issue, check out this link :)

It appears that objects with a number of transparent faces can cause AO and light rays to shine through the model; is there some sort of cap on transparent faces per model?
