Comments
The transparency intensity is the value that indicates to which degree the intensity of the light will decrease when it passes through a transparent surface. A value of one makes the object completely transparent, whereas a value of zero makes the object completely opaque. The default value for the transparency intensity is one. When the intensities for diffuse, transparency, and reflection are added together, the result should be one.
