I'm trying to make a window and "trans_add" is to transparent any ideas? |
||||

The image needs to be a png (portable network group image) with transparent alpha channel. For Transparent, the alpha should be white - this is good for billboard items, glass, ghosts, items with holes in them. For Transparent Additive, the alpha should be black - this is good for flares/lights/fires with transparent edges. Something like Gimp will allow you to select/mask areas and either cut them out (erase) or adjust their transparency level or add gradient transparency for fades etc., then eport them as png (with alpha channel). |

Here's an example window I made form a free photo of a factory, in my game. I used affinity photo (similar to Gimp/Photoshop) to create a transparent alpha channel (I clicked "transparent background option), then I used the marquee (rectangle) selection tool to cut the window glass in the photo and pasted it to a new layer (using "ctrl+C", then "ctrl+V". I set opacity slider (see-through level), for the new window-glass layer, to 60% for the glass and 0% opacity for the holes, then clicked "file>export>"png with alpha channel"... https://drive.google.com/file/d/... |
