    I am trying to create a transparent material that can "hide" itself. I will ask this question using images:

    Firstly, here is the non-transparent version.

    Now we make it transparent. But... it looks strange! The object IN FRONT of the glowing object should be obstructing it visually, but it is not - 100% of the glowing object is visible :(

    This glowing area should not be visible - as there is another object of the same material in front of it.

    Is it possible for the Shader Graph to do this?

    Thank you!
