Transparent texture?

[swgaming1015]

I have 2 questions about texturing for the Battlefront games. Firstly, is there a way I can texture my meshes without using Softimage XSI? Secondly, is there a way I can make a transparent mesh? I'm basically trying to make a large glass dome.

Hi,
To your second question:
As far as I know, the only way to make transparent meshes is to hexedit them.
Here I found a tutorial of Sereja. http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4785.msg63812#msg63812
For me is making transparent objects one of the most difficult things in modding. I did little experiments and failed until now.
Here another link that could help

I hope someone will answer your post with more experience than me.
A glass dome would be awesome. 
Good luck with it

Im quite experienced with transparent textures, but I'd rather not discuss about them publicly. Lots of people will say it is cheating, and I do not want to see drama, or whats more, start it.
Feel free to PM me if u wanna discuss about them.
Here's, for instance, the first Iced-Texture skin I developed - [spoiler][/spoiler]

Well, actually there is exist a way to make entire object transparent without using XSI, HEX Editor, and any texture changing at all. All you need to do it's add this lines in .odf:

Code Select Expand

GeometryColorMin = "255 255 255 155"
GeometryColorMax = "255 255 255 255"
You may try to change any of the numbers from 0 to 255 to change colour and transparency.
