Materials are bothering me..

[Yotunii]

So, hybrid said my solution to transparent textures could be materials. I need an example of how to draw a material using a semi-transparent texture, on a flat surface (what you normally get with draw2DImage).

The tutorials that cover materials (shader and per-pixel light) don't really help me, they just confuse me.

Thanks =)

look at smaterial.h for all the materials and explainations

i would advise EMAT_TRANSPARENT_ADD_COLOR

[hybrid]

Yes, definitely. That's also the material used for light billboards and the particles used in the examples. The black border is simply transparent.
