looks like sharp alpha =DXT3, but not in your case, as you obviously use tga, still: are you sure you got a proper image file? did you try the default alphaTest? GE128 isn't required as far as i know (and might cause the sharp alpha thingy...) perhaps blendFunc add instead of blend? edited on Dec. 28, 2011 03:25 pm by Sevenz

Yes, I still have the original image file, in DDS forfat though, should I convert it to DXT3? cause the image file is in DXT3 edited on Dec. 28, 2011 03:25 pm by Sevenz

What I meant was, I have the original file, in dds format, its in DXT3, should I convert it to DXT5?

converting DXT3 to DXT5 won't bring anything back, like converting a grayscale image to a color image (still black and white). you say you're using an "original file", a stock smoke texture or what is it?

Try changing the materialType in Asset Manager from "effect" to "2d".

W@W smoke texture If you're using an original shader, then also use the accompanying original materials file that goes with it. No point re-inventing the wheel.
