# Set Transparent Surfaces

Used to detect objects between the player and the main camera with a certain layer configured on it (Transparent Mesh), allowing to keep collisions with them but seeing through them and fade their meshes to keep the player visible on screen. 

This is used on certain objects of the scene in different games, like columns, certain walls, trees, etc…. and in most games with an isometric or top-down view.
