+Transparent objects are not rendered to the normal-roughness buffer, as they are

+buffer will not affect transparent materials.

 Some rendering engines feature *order-independent transparency* techniques to
 alleviate this, but this is costly on the GPU. Godot currently doesn't provide
 this feature. There are still several ways to avoid this problem:
