It works fine on my computer with Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Internet Explorer.

What Browser are you using?

Thanks for replay.
I tried on Firefox and Chrome.

Please try fork and publish this project?
Maybe you will understand what I said.

I see what you mean. Didn’t work for me either.

In the script they use it says:

WARNING: setParameter() is still a beta feature and may change in the future

Could be, that this feature is not yet usable in the Version we have.

I changed code to

meshInstances[i].material.opacity = alpha;

from

meshInstances[i].setParameter("material_opacity", alpha);

But still not work:(

If you select the material proto_orange, open the opacity tab and set the value to any value but 1, it’ll work.

An optimisation must have been made where a material with opacity of 1 doesn’t check for any further changes in opacity, but if it starts with an opacity value below 1, then changing the value later on will have an effect.

Hope that helps!

Oops!
I had forgot material.update().

I could change opacity.

Thanks for your helps!
