I've followed Stryder's tutorials, but I can't get this texture to work how I want to. I've tried many different permutations in the asset manager, but I can't get the trees to show solid, with a transparent top (like how they look in the texture window)



Any ideas?

Looks like an "Add" BlendFunc, like you would use for a wall stain or something. Did you try selecting "Blend" under BlendFunc?

Also, what method did you use to add your alpha channel?

Setting it to blend seems to work, however I now have another problem: If there is another tree brush behind one, it becomes transparent:


There's also a black line around the texture as well.

To create the alpha channel, I followed Stryder's tutorial and did it in Adobe:

On a similar note I noticed that not matter how I made my
alpha, my texture body was always a bit transparent against
another texture. So I went back to Stryders Tut.
(which is excellent) and noticed that his de-selected grate
was also a bit transparent .

You can see the Disco Dance Floor black line borders clearly through the main body of the grate.


No matter what I tried I couldn't get it completely solid.

I had a similar problem with a texture i made but i found these settings seem to work:
blendFunc: Replace
alphaTest: GE128
polygonOffset: Static Decal

The rest I left default.

lukeuk147, maybe you can post a small tutorial on how to do this. This will help a lot of people, and a nice graphical tutorial would make it all the better.

Well, thats normal that the behind laying texture becomes transparant. Thats also with the stock tree textures (under foliage if im correct)

On how to do what exactly? I only advised on the asset manager settings, which is simply a couple of clicks.
Stryders Textures 102 video tut is a good place to start, it's just the settings used in asset manager weren't suitable for the example texture used imo.
