Alpha Tools is an advanced add-on for Blender that significantly simplifies and accelerates processes related to managing transparency in 3D materials and objects. It offers a set of tools that allow you to quickly configure alpha properties, both for individual objects and the entire scene.

Key Features:
     Create fade-in and fade-out animations with one click.
     Automatic material preparation: Quickly add and configure nodes to support transparency.
     Alpha Adjustment: Easily modify transparency levels for selected objects.
     Efficient Node Management: Easily remove complex node settings, keeping everything organized and efficient.
     Global support: Ability to modify all materials in a scene, including those not assigned to objects.

Benefits:
     Time savings: Process automation and an intuitive interface significantly reduce the time needed to configure and manage materials.
     Increased productivity: Ability to focus on the creative aspects of your project instead of time-consuming node setup.

AlphaTools 1.2 Update:

Addon alpha Tools version 1.2 offers the ability to select blend mode and shadow mode parameters for materials, along with the backface culling option, and change them at any time during work.

This version also includes a dedicated operator that allows you to quickly assign the single user parameter to specific materials, which is very useful when several different objects use the same materials and different Blend modes will be used on them.

AlphaTools 1.1 Update:

In this update, operators retain the "Blend Mode" and "Shadow Mode" material parameters if their initial value is different from "Opaque", which means they have been intentionally changed by the user, and should remain that way.
In the previous version, these parameters were changed to "Hashed" regardless of the original setting.
