I’m not sure how to ask this because I don’t know what it’s called, some kind of culling effect maybe.
Is there a way to render part of an object as transparent? Not just transparent, but transparent where it would also cause anything behind it to become transparent including the object itself? Sort of like an object buffer just for portions of an object.
here is a photoshopped example of what i’m referring to:

I’m trying to do this as a means for VFX compositing. Imagine a hole being exploded in the middle of a wall where I want to see inside the hole where the damage is but the outside needs to be transparent so the original texture of the wall shows through.
Any suggestions would be great, thanks!
