Basically, I created an eyeball in Nomad Sculpt using a technique where I have a translucent sphere overlaid on top of another sphere. [Here are example images.](https://imgur.com/a/TzPjUZj) I created the transparent sphere by going into the “Material” menu and checking “Refraction” in Nomad. Now whenever I import my model in .glb format to e.g. Blender or Sketchfab, it shows up as an opaque sphere… I found a guide to turning on roughness and metalness but I’m totally stumped on how to get the transparency to show up as it does in Nomad. ---

The way Nomad handles its refractive material is pretty much unique to its own instructions - the only advice I could personally steer you in is to use the Glass BSDF node in Blender’s Shader and tweak those options instead. Hopefully someone else might have a better solution.
