Hi,
i use blender and i have an png that has a transparent background and a grid type of thing on it, when i export my model from blender, and load it into torque showtool pro, the texture is loaded, but the transparent parts have been filled filled in. am i not doing something right?
i use photoshop to make the textuer, can someone maybe tell me how to make a png with a transparent background??? (i had so that the transparent parts had no color (you could see the white and grey box pattern in the back), or do i have to assign a specific color to the transparent parts?

name them somthing like "mytexture.jpg" and "mytexture.alpha.jpg". This is better compression than the PNG stuff. and way easier to acheive.

You can also use 2 jpgs. One for the diffuse and one for the alpha..name them somthing like "mytexture.jpg" and "mytexture.alpha.jpg". This is better compression than the PNG stuff. and way easier to acheive.
