bardamu 0 Posted February 4, 2004 Hi all, I'm modelin a building and i have a prob with the textures. I'd like to have a texture with some transparency but i don't know how to do: do .tga files keeps a transparent font after being saved,and does it deals with alpha channels? I saved one in ".tga" but with Textview i have a white background instead of the transparency. If you have a link or a clue for me...??? bardamu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaSquade 0 Posted February 4, 2004 It's not that hard: -make your texture...delete the transparant parts out your texture (make shore you're started with "background" transparant). -select the transparant parts. Go to "channels"...and add a new layer "(by default...ALPHA). Delete the selection (so transparant parts are white..and visible black). -(not shore, but works for me)...hide the "alpha" channel. -save as TGA (32bit). Normally it would work (although in PS when saving it warns about the layers and stuff). Open texture in TexView and save as .pac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaSquade 0 Posted February 5, 2004 "save to PAC". So it's PAC for transparent and PAA for normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BraTTy 0 Posted February 6, 2004 Save as .tga and O2 will convert to .paa for transparant textures Save as .gif and O2 will convert to .pac with no transparancy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 6, 2004 Â "save to PAC". So it's PAC for transparent and PAA for normal? Like Bratty said. Its the other way around DaSquad! Try it and see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
