You can see in this material, we're just bringing in the CD in the alpha parameters. We're multiplying CD by alpha, basically just to pre-mult that. And then we're feeding the output of that line into the CF input of the surface output. And the alpha gets its float value turned into a vector and then that's going into the opacity input of the surface output. The only other little bit of stuff going on here is that we're taking the output of this multiply one, feeding that into a PBR omission and then into a surface exports basically to generate a PDSF value for us that we can feed into the F input of the surface output. And what this does is this allows us to render with the PBR renderer. And this is not some complex shader, we just want kind of a clean, graphic missive flat look. But this allows us to then…
