Get opacity working properly...

[killkhergit]

I can't get opacity to work correctly:

Spoiler

As you see in the screenshot, the opacity of the leaves/needles isn't working.

I tried:

- using 'flora_shader'
- using all the 'dot3' shaders
- making the texture 'really black' (RGB, 0,0,0)

Still doesn't work...

Anyone know how I can get it working?

Copy all rendering flags exactly as they are in trees material
Edit: Native trees material, that is

the leaves look like money.

Tryin' out at the moment, hope it works.

The background color doesn't matter, you need to set the alpha channel to black and save it in the DDS format DXT5.

That didn't work...

DXT5: check.
Alpha Channel --> Black: need to try out that bit.

the alpha channel will range from white (show the full image under it) to grey (semi-transparent) to black (fully see through/transparent)

If only it was as simple as in 3dsMax, where you could simply apply an opacity map to a texture...   

Firing up MnB now.



Alright, that didn't work. Here's a link to the image gallery (one showing it doesn't work, 2 others displaying the DDS save options):

So, what options do I need enabled to get it working?

Easiest way: load other texture with alpha channel already in it, copy your texture in RGB channel, create b&w alpha and copy it to alpha channel, then save as DTX5

Disclaimer: I don't know what the heck you should click in 3dmax to create alpha channel anew anyway

can you post the actual DDS file?
I'll take a look and fix it.

I emailed it back to you.  try it out and post another pic.

Alright, working now.

Thanks.
