Title: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: SmashClash on March 04, 2011, 10:15:28 PM Thank you if you tell me.

Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: SmashClash on March 05, 2011, 01:02:20 AM A texture. Part of Warioman's bike.
Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: mnsg on March 05, 2011, 06:22:08 AM Only certain texture formats are capabale of supporting multiple transparent colors. They're the following...
*IA4 *IA8 *RGB5A3 *RGBA8 CMPR also has transparency support, but that format can only have "1" transparent color, making semi-transparency impossible. I4, I8, and RGB565 can't be transparent at all. Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: Chuckdurnham on March 05, 2011, 10:59:02 AM Use an online program. Paint sucks.
I use some website for stuff like that, not at home now but I'll get you a link when I do. Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent?

Can none of those you listed be Semi-Transparent?*IA4 *IA8 *RGB5A3 *RGBA8 CMPR also has transparency support, but that format can only have "1" transparent color, making semi-transparency impossible.

Any kind of semi transparency is considered transparency. Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: mnsg on March 05, 2011, 07:13:55 PM Can none of those you listed be Semi-Transparent? Again only IA4, IA8, RGB5A3, and RGBA8 support semi-transparency.

Post by: mnsg on March 05, 2011, 08:04:29 PM Anyway, the Wario Bike texture parts use the CMPR texture format, so making them semi-transparent is futile.

Thanks anyway.Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: ForOhFor Error on March 05, 2011, 08:42:06 PM What were you trying to do? A lightbike?
Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: SmashClash on March 05, 2011, 09:05:13 PM What were you trying to do? A lightbike? I've been making a Lamborghini, I wanted to make the windshield semi-transparent and I want the back and front wheels to be transparent in the middle to look like two seperate wheels. *sigh* I'll figure out some way.Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: Chuckdurnham on March 05, 2011, 10:57:04 PM perhaps you could just make them dark tinted windows?
Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: Hollow on March 05, 2011, 11:14:20 PM See if there are any transparent textures in brawl at al.

See if there are any transparent textures in brawl at al. What do you both mean, exactly?Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: ForOhFor Error on March 06, 2011, 06:55:22 PM See if there are any transparent textures in brawl at al. Actually, some SSE stages DO have semi-transparent textures.I've used one in my Wily's Fortress stage. Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent?

Post by: Mewtwo2000 on March 07, 2011, 05:14:37 AM That happens only when the model used is able to show that. If not, it will show the image with no transparency, or all transparent, depending on the case.
Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: mnsg on March 07, 2011, 06:09:14 AM I'm talking about Wario's bike. I know you can't make it transparent in CMPR format, but why not changing the format and or the types/materials settings. CMPR textures use 4 bits per pixel. The only other texture format with that size is I4. Changing texture formats tends to be a bad idea, since that can alter the file size of the archive it's in. Additionally, that'll either lead to game crashes, or make the texture not appear correctly. There are a few exceptions, but if you do change texture formats, be sure that the file size doesn't get altered; refer to the following... I4: 4 bits per pixel I8: 8 bits per pixel IA4: 8 bits per pixel IA8: 16 bits per pixel RGB565: 16 bits per pixel RGB5A3: 16 bits per pixel RGBA8: 32 bits per pixel CMPR: 4 bits per pixel Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: toastoftriumph on March 07, 2011, 05:04:02 PM perhaps you could just make them dark tinted windows? it's possible to have partial emerald textures on a model, right? So the windshield could have an emerald texture to give the illusion of a reflection (being that the texture wouldn't be static when camera angle changes). Then the rest of the car could be colored normally.Title: Re: How would I be able to make something Semi-Transparent? Post by: ADJSonic on March 07, 2011, 05:44:23 PM Send me the image .. I can with one program.. CMPR will also work if I use it because it will... XD I'm not saying it will but i have a theory...

XD I'm not saying it will but i have a theory... When I'm done with vertexing and exporting the Lamborghini you need to make the wheels transparent in the middle so it looks like two seperate wheels(both for forward and back wheels). |
