Must it be imported apart from the other objects? Also why do i can see objects with alpha through other objects with alpha settings? P.S: I'm still looking for a a animator. Thanks

Apply this material with shader: Code: MATERIAL *mat_alphatest = { effect = " technique alpha_test { pass p0 { zWriteEnable = true; alphaTestEnable = true; alphaBlendEnable = false; } } "; }

What modeler do you use ? Perhaps make one map only TGA having alpha ? Just do It !! http://independentcreator.over-blog.com/pages/3D_Models-7792999.html

The alpha is measured in greyscale. In wich Withe is absolutely opaque and black shows nothing. All greys in between are levels os transparency. I have the texture as i explaned (Part 1 (i guess?)) and Part 2 the alpha itself (Black & White). When i import into med it seems to be ignoring the alpha, i've been messing arround, but nothing works. And this happends even inside the game. You can see the model in the What are you working on section.. everything is working as it should... Last edited by Mythran; 02/24/13 16:41.
