What is this?
This is a plugin which manages the transparency of all body parts of a Person.
You can go up to -100% and totally hide a character.
Moving the sliders will change the transparency of the related body part.
A 'Global transparency' slider is available for applying quickly the same transparency to all body parts.
The transparency settings are kept when saving a scene. They are also triggerable.
A small demo scene is included.

Dependencies & thanks
No dependency, but many thanks to previous creators involved in this plugin (Doofenschmalphys, Seamonkey & @Acid Bubbles based on the credits inside the script).
I really struggled to make a usable plugin, which saves transparency settings, based on this previous plugin. I'm no expert on this, so expect some bugs! Hopefully not too many
Also I'd like to thank @Jiraiya & @JayJayWon who helped me get over some issues with plugin creation.
I'll update the Sex dolls resource (which used the old plugin) with this one when I can.

It works with decals:

It also works for Male characters (although it will throw an error for some reason):
Hair & clothing are unaffected:

How to use
- Select a character (preferably female, and one not using the "dummy skins")
- Go to its "Plugin" tab and click on the "Add Plugin" button
- Click on the "Select File..." button that should have appeared and browse to the "CharacterTransparency" plugin (click on "AddonPackages flattened on the left menu and search for "CharacterTransparency" if you don't find it)
- Once plugin is added, you can go to its settings by clicking on "Open Custom UI..." button. Play with the sliders!
For object to show up under a "transparent character", you may need to adjust its render queue value (under the "Material" tab):
Known issues:
- The plugin will not work when using those skins:
- Female dummy
- Male dummy
- After changing skins or appearance, you may need to reload the plugin for it to work as intended (only in some cases, no idea why).
Using the plugin on males will throw an error for some reason. But it works nonetheless (remember to reload the plugin, though).Edit: should now be fixed in 1.1- Among the default male skins available, use the ones by "Jackaroo": it just works with them. Some default male skin will malfunction for the genital area; to fix this, select one of the Jackaroo skins instead and then select the other skin and it should work as well (again, no idea why).
- Gloss and specular effects on skin textures will be nullified by the plugin. I'm unsure if a fix can be made for this. More details in the discussion tab.
