na, somethink about fashion.lol but maybe someone may now knoiw in what you mean and require in this type of lightinh.

try this tut.

Transparency is handled via different ways.

1) Texture has an alpha channel (tga): use blendFunc blend (shorthand for blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA). The problem here is you can't use a lightmap or the sections that become transparent in the map stage become lighted, hence the transparency is lost.

2) Texture is a .jpg or .tga and doesn't require an alpha channel, but transparent area must be either all black or all white: Use AlphaFunc GE128 if black background, AlphaFunc LE128 if white background. This one isn't an exact science, as it will cause more than just the black or white to become transparent. You kinda have to play with it a little, but it has the advantage of being able to have a proper lightmap using blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO for the $lightmap stage.

3) Translucency of the entire image, but not completely transparent: use alphaGen const and a number between .001 and 1.000. This will create a fully translucent shader that can have a lightmap applied to it (though you'll need to experiment with the blendFunc options on the lightmap stage). This works great for water surfaces, some thin cloth that you want partially see-thru, 2-d holograms (yes, holograms, look at the projection monitor on the conference table in swim, it uses a different method, but it's similar) and even glass if you want a fixed tint to the glass without the tcGen environment effect. I use it for dark glass that is just barely see-thru or has a color tint myself.

Just read the shader manual for further instructions.

GE128 stands for Greater or Equal to 128, where 128 is a number in the range 0 to 256.











this is the shader i use to make signs that just show words and not the rest of the brush
