You can alter the Alpha transparency of decals and it will also disapear once the window has been shattered MY RF MAPS    Modified Jan 11th, 03:48pm by mad_ferrit pking   Posted 11th Jan 2006 7:19pm L4Y Member Post 88 / 146 Quoting mad_ferrit Why not apply the 'reflection' image as a decal on the glass? You can alter the Alpha transparency of decals and it will also disapear once the window has been shattered thats a good idea but some times when ya use custom texutres as details it makes the entire solid go wierd colours if not put on right i might try ty this is wat happens when i use decals. transpercery is much better for this i think and even if the decal did fit over the glass the size dosent fit =( fit. decals r really noly meant with the RED textures not custom I Have been a bad boy and gotton Tu'ed    Modified Jan 11th, 07:29pm by pking mad_ferrit   Posted 11th Jan 2006 7:24pm L4Y Member Post 1173 / 1510 You must make sure you have a clear border of transparency around the image in Photoshop before you create your 32 bit texture... The easiest way to do this is select all of your image, hit Ctrl+C to Copy it, then press Ctrl+N to bring up a new Image attributes window, but make the size of the new canvass (which will default to the size of your copied selection) a couple of pixels larger on both sides. Example... if the copied selection is 145x198 pixels, I'd suggest for safety sake that you make your new transparent canvass at least 155 x 210 pixels. This will give you added breathing space when you resize the image to either 128x128 or 256 x 256... remember you can make the decal fit the window perfectly by altering it's size in it's properties...
