Glass effects?

#1 As far as CartShop is concerned glass is just a texture like anything else. There was a thread about translucency/transparent textures on our forum that might be helpful to you.

#2 Hi, been using Cart shop 4.1 for a few days and I love it. Just one problem. I can't get transparency at all. In CS it looks fine, but export the dif and convert the tga to png (with alpha-that is another kettle of worms) and all I get in Torque 1.3 is a white surface where it should be invisible. I have gotten Torque to show glass before by exporting a DTS file from Milkshake, but these CS difs are not showing transparency.

Any thing I can do to fix this? I had to throw Photoshop CS2 away and go back to PS 5.5 in order to get alpha channels in the pngs. Adobe needs their head examined.

I hate to say it, but I hope I'm totally overlooking something here. and it's an easy fix.

#3 Do a search for transparency and interiors. There's a couple of threads on it. Not CS, but DIF in general.

Personally, I like the DTS solution because I like damage.

#4 If you want something along the lines of say... shattering glass, you are better off using dts geometry for your glass and perhaps even scaling your windows to fit.
