If you scale the texture so its REALLY big you wont have to make it transparent. The texture needs a row of pixels that are seethru and you line up the texture so half of the seethru portion shows at like. But this is what you have right?

------------------

If youve got any solid-color materials on the 3d0, make sure the surface GEO is set to 3.

I always liked to play it safe and have everything on GEO 4 and have color textures as normal textures. I seemed to have problems any other way.

That doesnt work if your trying to do multiple transparencies, Emon...

Createthingatpos(GBK, 0, '0 0 0', '0 0 0');

if i wanted it to look partly see thru (wiht black pixsels) i would have done that. i NEED glass. trasparnt. opacqe what ever it is i relay need it. how? the bacta tank works.

You didn't answer gbk's question, which I think may well be on the right track.

1. Is this a solid colored mat?
2. Did you make the geo 3 for the surfaces that use that mat?

Emon is actually right as far as this goes.

pjb, did you remember to flag all the surfaces to 'blocks light' before you exported?



------------------
Try not, do; or do not.
