Hi guys,
I was going through the tutorial on how to add transparency to objects.
Since the version of the studio program was older than the one I have now, I was a little bit confused and can't seem to get it to work.
Basically with photoshop I created a texture that has an alpha channel to give it transparency.
I then tried to follow the tutorial but it was for a curtain and since I was trying to do it on a poster/painting, it didn't flow as well as some menu's were moved into different sections, but I'm pretty sure I managed to find it okay.
So what I did was went into the "models" section and went to edit the LOD meshes.
Made sure it was the materials section under the resource tree that I was editing.
I found the variantid's and edited them to add an alphablended option, changed it to float and changed the value to 1.
Then I did that to all variantid's and made sure the settings were saved on high detail, medium detail etc.
I uploaded my new texture, but on the studio preview it kept showing a white background instead of a transparent one.
Now I did pick a poster/painting that did not originally have any transparency on it, I liked the size of that painting as others were either too big or too small.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it a different process for a poster/painting?
Any help would be great and sorry for creating another thread so soon.
