Best analogy I can come up with is to think of each face of the inner sphere as an individual TV screen, and each screen displays what is seen by a camera on each face of the outer sphere. So if you were inside the inner sphere, you should see an X-ray effect applied only to the inner and outer spheres, but if you viewed the outer sphere from the outside, you should see the material assigned to it. | |

| May 20, 2020 at 8:37 | comment | added | hiigaran | That would work, if I was only working with the external sphere. The inner sphere would block visibility to the outer sphere's faces, though. | |

Once plugged into the factor of a Mix Shader it allows you to create 2 different materials for each side of a face, in your case it would be opaque/transparent | |
