Using opaque mask single layer (shader)
what texture goes in what slot?

I just want to mask out a circle on a plane with my texture showing through the circle.

Black conceals white reveals right?

Or please point me to a tutorial that will help me might understand how shaders work in Sansar.

(I've tried several different things and am not getting the results I want in Sansar.)

  Too simple!

  This is where I got my confusion from (the instructions section in Sansar) and why I thought I needed a black/white masking:

  

  Thank you!  :-))

  Man, this is confusing. Four years old and no proper use of opacity maps in Sansar. Sheesh. I'm a CG nerd, and I can't get this to work.

  NorthernKiara did though, so I assume I'm just not understanding how to do it.
