 enables alpha blending. Alpha blending is more GPU-intensive and can cause
 transparency sorting issues. Alpha blending also disables many material
 features such as the ability to cast shadows.

+**Pixel Alpha** mode: The actual transparency of a pixel of the object changes
+with distance to the camera. This is the most effect, but forces the material
+into the transparency pipeline (which leads, for example, to no shadows).
