Can anyone tell me what settings do I have to set to get a model's texture's alpha channel to work correctly? Thanks


God DID give us a manual on how to change this world...

the alpha channel has to be set in the texture file and saved as tga

in some graphic editor create mask of this part of picture you want to be transparent. Then fill this mask with black color, next save this mask as alpha chanell. Then delete this mask with no merge with picture. That's it
If you want some gradient... just fill the mask with gradient not black color.
Anf of'course save as .tga (8bit per color + 4 bit alpha = 32bit color)
