Hi

I have got another nagging problem a bit naggier. I created a texture in photoshop with an alpha channel which is suppose to make some areas transparent. I saved the texture using the A8R8G8B8 format. When the texture is diplayed on any node it just appears white. I have tried several texture formats but the problem stoll persists unless I remove the alpha channel. Any help?

what material are u using for your node? You'll need to use EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL or something like that

And be sure to load the texture in full 32 bit. By default it is being loaded in 16 bit mode, reducing your alpha channel from 8 to just 1 bit. Try IVideoDriver::SetTextureCreationFlags for this.
