Blender Tutorial - Using ALPHA for/and textures

One dude knows this already, because I explained the principle very briefly, in which I said "just git'r'done!".
Anyway, this'll BURN! Although a green-blue smoke isn't oftenly a good thing...

I'm glad it still works and that somebody actually followed a 4 year-old tutorial over recent ones.

I recently decided to mess around with the game engine once more. I had to map an image of a bullet onto a plane (with transparency of course) but I had no clue how to enable the alpha until I watched this video. To this day you are a complete lifesaver! Thanks for the tutorial!

[SuperGamer]

Your tutorials are insanely comfortable to watch! And even more insanely helpful! Thanks, dude!

i've looked at a lot of sites/videos for a solution to my problem, but this is the only one that helped me. thanks a lot for the video... and great wallpaper

if you want the texture to glow btw, (I needed it for an EOTech Sight) set the material to VCol Light and Shadeless. Great tut! Thanks a bunch.

"you know, what's the thing?"
the best!

[agentcrows]

Ah, very good! You can see it very good.

Well, I use Photoshop sometimes, but I didn't have any problem with any outlines. Sure, I wasn't even looking when drawing smoke textures.

Thanks for the feedback!

[agentcrows]

You're welcome!

(I didn't even know what to use the alpha textures then... and to this day I still have no use for them!)

You have to put your draw mode to shaded (alt+z) and maybe put on GLSL materials in the Game menu for a nice effect ;)

@McNugget1

Hey, glad you liked it!

[agentcrows]

Hm... that may be weirder than I thought... plus there's no previous message on your comment, so there goes 10 minutes of experimenting...

I guess the Blender internal editor isn't exactly fine-tuned to get the edges ALPHA-ed correctly.
Try getting you material with no specularity, let me know if it still is the same.

[agentcrows]

Hell, it's not a contest, people!
And just for the record, congrats for seeing the obvious FPS-indicator.

[agentcrows]

Actually, I think I may have implied madness subliminally.

[ghyselsguy]

do u do all the same stuff for 2.48? also how do you get a texture to show up in realtime like in a game?

[JoelGibsonBagelator]

well we just thought you might want to know

[JoelGibsonBagelator]

[UnrealAnimationD]
