Hey,

I wanted to ask how can I make transperant pics,what I meen is that i want to create a GUI for my game but i don't want the background of the pic to appear only the GUI itself.Something like a particle that comes with Irrlicht, only the particle itself is visible.

Thanks

The 2DGraphics example that comes with Irrlicht 0.4 demonstrates how to do this. Basically you have to call driver->makeColorKeyTexture(yourTexture,locationOfTransparentPixel);

There is also

virtual void irr::video::IVideoDriver::makeColorKeyTexture ( video::ITexture * texture,
video::SColor color
) [pure virtual]

if you want to specify the color, instead of some point in the texture.

should this go into the "how to" section now?

not really-- its one line of code, and its in the tutorials.
