Transparent texture on a gridshape

There are 2 ways to get transparency:

1) use a texture. The alpha channel of the matrix will set transparency
2) set the color. The alpha channel of the color will set transparency

For 1, transparency ccan vary spatially over the surface of your shape.
For 2, transparency is global to the surface.
