I've been trying to apply an Alpha layer to an object with another object that has a displacement map on it. When i do this the transparent alpha material with a pattern on it becomes solid again. EX:

Material A) Transparent Alpha with Pattern
Material B) Displacement Material

Alpha layer becomes solid when both are applied to object... Ie. i cant see the displacement through the alpha layer.

Any help? Thanks

Made some progress... i've gotten the bump layer to work but still cant get displacement. Maybe this cant even be done now that i think of it...

To be honest I just kept messing around - rebooted, tried different materials till it worked. Kinda sketchy.
