Opacity

Transparency and Opacity are frequently confused. Both are modifiers applied via various means to polygonal objects within a virtual environment. Transparency is the measurement of how transparent an object is, from 0%, which is fully solid, to 100% which is completely transparent.

Opacity is the measurement of how opaque an object is, from 100%, fully solid to 0%, which is invisible.

Both modifiers are required because an object which is 0% opaque is completely invisible, yet an object which is simply 100% transparent, allows the user to see through it but retains its three dimensional outline in the environment.
