Can the standard shader have a normal map and a transparent section?

    Apologies for asking something that must be answered somewhere else, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

    I have a texture with a hole in it and a normal map that matches, but using the standard shader I can't seem to find a way to make the hole see-through. No matter what settings I change, the hole seems to be filled with lines


    Setting the rendering mode to cutout and messing with the alpha did nothing.

    Thanks very much!

    That setting means the Albedo's alpha is used for smoothness rather than as the transparency. Set that back to Metallic Alpha.
