Seems like they are part of the texture, so change the texture and they should disappear.

Believe me they are not part of the texture.I'm not that dum to put them in.I think that they're some stupid things from a option in 3ds max 9.

Wow, it would be awsome if you could turn that scope into an addon .msh :D .

I don't think you can apply addons to a weapon.. It's only for the unit odf

Nevertheless, that'd be awesome if it was possible.
The texture on the scope can be improved, as it is quite low-resolution right now, but the model looks quite nice.

Yes i'm trying to higher the resolution of all of my textures and it would be cool if i could see them ingame
@Taivyx:can you tell me how to remove the white lines from the rendering program because somewhere i read that you were using it too and there are no white lines on your models?

I'm not sure where the white lines came from, as my renders have never had anything like that, and the only relevant parameter I found (Force Wireframe) was under the "Renderer" tab, in the "Default Scanline Render" parameters.
But that cut out faces, and rendered only edges, so I dunno, honestly :|


Here's a trebuchet that I'm doing as a required supplementary project for my science project on siege machines.
It'll eventually be fully-animated :wink:

Umm I don't see why not :roll:

Did you make the model from scratch or did you use that program that turns pictures into models. Either way, nice job :thumbs:

Have an elevator animation. Gonna upload on Youtube soon. but, I want to make a couple parts transparent, and I want to know what an alpha channel is. So could someone please tell me?

Alpha channel is a layer in an image that will make parts of it transparent, when used as an image.

Take this for instance, it is a typical square/rectangular image, the Alpha channel around the person (The Tick) makes the background that was in the original image nonexistant.

Image

Its sort of like erasing things from an image, but it makes stuff invisible instead of just white.

I just noticed I missed a spot in-between his antennae, darn. :|

If you use GIMP: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-layer-alpha-add.html
If you use Photoshop: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photos ... ps504h.htm

Nice Arena btw

Made it from scratch, the blueprints are just there for scaling and position and all that jazz

EDIT: So, does that mean that a transparent back in gimp is and alpha channel?
