I thought Invisiprims made anything textured to become invisible, but this object seems to defy that (See images attached)

Do you see that weird texture used? Is that how the builder accomplished this effect?

I can think of many uses for invisprims if you could pick and choose which textures get displayed. =)

Thanks for the help :)

If I'm remembering right... Upload a TGA texture as 32 bit and it is effect by/turned invisible by invisoprims. However save your image as a 24 bit TGA instead and it will still be visible.

So yes, in that sense you CAN pick and choose what textures are displayed inside an invisoprim.

Logan is correct. Invisiprim will hide any 32 bit textures inside or behind it. It will not hide 24 bit textures. Also, it can be set to either hide surfaces with shine on them, or simply to hide the shine itself.
