wings: making the other sides of the prim invisable

Ok, I have a pair of wings which were made from an image with traparencies, it works, but the other sides also have the texture....now do I have to put a script in there to set it, or is there some other way?

please forgive me if I sound like a dumbass

edit:


ACK...nevermind,, I am lame, found out how to select individual faces

Nothing to forgive, RatponX. There's no such thing as a "dumbass" question. We were all new once. Welcome to SL.

The answer is to use the "Select Texture" option on the editor dialog. You'll see it towards the top left. When it's on, you can select one surface at at a time, or multiple surfaces using shift-click, and affect only what's selects. So, just turn it in, select the surface(s) you want to alter, and apply your texture. No scripting or anythng fancy necessary.

If you need a 100% transparent texture, you can make one very easily in Photoshop, PSP, or GIMP, or else just reply back and ask for one. I'm sure you'll get a dozen dropped on you as soon as people read it.


EDIT: Whoops. Didn't see your edit until after I posted. Glad you got it worked out.

The easiest way of all is just to drag the texture you want onto the side of the prim you want. Effectively, you could have 6 textures on a 6 sided prim just by dragging and dropping.

I used Chosen's method when one side is stiny or thin, but either way works.
