I'm trying to create a leaf inside of a glass frame, but I can't get it to look right in game. When I take the object into game, the background of the leaf shows up even though I've added an alpha channel to the texture. Is there a way to remove the background?  .package.blend |

Your object is using the Phong shader but you need to be using the PhongAlpha shader for transparency to work.

Phong can also be used for transparent objects, but it gives a hard outline.  |  | | Phong | PhongAlpha |
How to enable transparency:1. Go to the Warehouse > Model LOD 00000000 > Data > Meshes — Edit Items... > Phong > Material, Entries — Edit Items... > VariantId: set-1, StateId: Default > Material, Items — Edit Items... 2. Add AlphaMap: copy the DiffuseMap line, select AlphaMap from the dropdown list.  3. Change the value of AlphaMaskThreshold.  The AlphaMaskThreshold parameter converts semi-transparent areas into completely transparent or completely opaque areas, based on a threshold you set, between 0 and 255. 128 is the average value used by most maxis items. All values above this threshold will become opaque and all values below or equal to this threshold will become completely transparent. 4. Save and repeat for all swatches, states, and LODs. |

I tried doing this, and my mesh turned black. .package

Copy the DiffuseMap line and then edit the copy. Don't edit the default variant. Edit the burnt state.
