I've been trying to add transperency to a texture for some time, being quite unsuccesful, the transperent area just ends up being black...
Open the texture in photoshop, click on the layers tab and create a new layer (should automatically be named Alpha). White = Solid, Black = Transparent, anywhere in between is kind've understandable. In the vmt be sure to use
[code]"$transparent" "1"
"$model" "1"
"$alphatest" "1"[/code]
Works for me
do I save that layer as a seprate VTF? as in X_alpha.vtf ?
No.
You open up photoshop with your texture. Then you press channels, under layers. There you will see the R, G and B channels. Press the little button the right lower corner to create a new layer. Paint what you want transparent black, and what you want to see white.
When you are done, save as .TGA (targa) and import this in VTFEdit and save as .VTF. Then you add one of the different options the above user said.
They work differently, I suggest reading up on them.
