Can you make a mesh transparent? : III

» Sat May 28, 2011 2:54 am

I'm not real proficient with nifskope, but I want to make some items appear to have holes in them. If I erase part of the texture on a transparent background, it looks fine in photoshop, but when I put it into the CS or in game, the mesh itself seems to show up as pure white.

I was wondering if there is any way to make the mesh transparent instead of white?

Why don't you right click on the mesh - in the menu that comes up go select node and then select attach property and then add the NiAlphaProperty

That is perfect! Thanks a lot!

also, you can open the texture in photoshop, select the bits you want to appear as holes and go Select>save selection, and save it as alpha 1

That's good to know too, thanks.
