thats offtopic, but...

enable tranparency for the polygons you want to be tranparent ingame (edit flags>tranparency>2)
make a texture with tranparent background and paint with 10% opacity with a color over it
add alphachannel tthe texture (there should be a videotutorial about that in the everythingyouneedthread)

Beautiful, that was we were really asking for. And as it was stated it is not that we don't necessarily believe you it is just in the past others have claimed things as thier own and it has been proved otherwise and a request of the wireframe nature is really to protect the site.

So now we can close this discussion and you can get on to modelling more stuff, come on now get to it :D

It's a lot easier to tell that someone did their own work if you can see the individual primitives, because if something's ripped from a game or (usually) from another model, it'll be in polymeshes.

Revan, those models looks great! I have just started modeling. I still havent got a working model in-game. The model just looks weird every time I get it in-game. Does the Basic Modeling in XSI.doc for SWBF1 work for SWBF2?
