Transparency issues

Support Materials and Textures
1

Hey. so I’m having an issue with a transparent material when I append it into a new file. I have seen others have this issue and solve it. the only problem is that those were on older versions of blender (I’m on 3.4) and I don’t actually know what was changed. something to do with lighting/raytraced transparency. I don’t really know what that is as I am reasonably new to this part of blender.

The issue itself is that the back of the transparent object is acting like a mirror rather than see though. it should be completely transparent and be a bit refractive.

Here is a picture for reference as to what I mean.

If anyone knows how to fix this or has an idea then it would be appreciated.

The best option is to use cycles to render instead of eevee

The next best option is to make sure that screen space reflecions and refractions are enabled, both at the scene level:
