How do you create a Decal for a Projector?

by Scott Peal · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 11/29/2006 (10:03 am) · 1 replies

I got some good advice on how to create a decal projector, but need help in how do you create the actual decal. I think it has something to do with alpha channel, but not sure on what that is.

I have solved the issue of getting a decal to project here on this forum:

Now that I got it to work, I will look to see how to create the PNG file for the decal. It looks like I might have to set up an transparent area which is not shown when projected. I guess this is the 'alpha' channel.
