…alues need to be assumed by other parameters to make the current parameter effective? The idea is using this to build a more user-friendly UI, where parameters are shown as inactive if their dependencies are not fulfilled. If multiple dependencies D_i (i < n) are listed for a parameter, they are considered as D_0 and D_1 and ... and D_(n-1). Note that some complex dependencies were left out on purpose (e.g., conditions where one dependency or another dependency should be fulfilled to deactivate a parameter; in such case only the "stronger" / "more important" one is listed here.

Is translucency(Color) considered on of the "complex dependencies" that was left out on purpose? If so, wouldn't it result in the UI potentially disabling thin walled even though it may have an impact on the outcome? (Same for the volume params below)

In any case, the format should be documented in Chapter 6.4, Parameter JSON file format.
