$translucent breaking normals

[cRUSHpl]

I encountered some problems when using translucent textures in Source.
I need to have somekind of glass transparency in my model, but when i use "$translucent" "1" some weird things happen.
Here is vmt

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
        "$basetexture" "vault_doors/textures/vault_doors_mount"
	"$normalmap" "vault_doors/textures/vault_doors_mount_NRM"
	"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" "1"
	"$translucent" "1"
	"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
	"$phong" "1"
}

And here is what happens:
1) Grey part should be transparent

2) and with "$translucent" "1"

I have made several glass/transparent textures in my life but i see this "bug" for the first time.
Do anyone know why this happens?

You could try the following:
1. Change "$translucent" to "$alpha"
2. Change "$translucent" to "$alphatest"
3. Change "VertexLitGeneric" to "UnlitGeneric"

You could also try doing a combination of options 1 & 3, or 2 & 3.

Break off the windows into a separate material and export it with a material for the body and one for the glass. Source is not going to play ball with you on this one, trust me.

None of this worked.

Can i use different materials for one model?

Absolutely. You can have up to 32 (not that that's recommended - but it is possible). Not sure about the process for your modeling package, but the documentation for your exporter should explain how to do it.

I'm using Wallworm, so i will check it out how to do it. Thanks a lot.
