Hello all,

I have one quick question about Alpha textures. I have read up on how to make them, and it looks like you need Photoshop or some other editing program in order to make them. Well I am Photoshop disadvantaged (in other words I dont have it !! :-), so I am willing to pay someone to make a texture for me and then I buy it off of them. Is this possible and I would need to have full privalages...(ie... Mod, transfer, copy etc...). Is there anyone wanting to make a couple bucks and help out a budding builder?

Thanks,

Drezin

What I need is a simple blank texture that I can put on walls to make them transparent on one side and opague on the other. I am assuming from what I read on alpha textures that this is what you need to make that happen. I basically want to make wall sized windows on one side (the inside) and an opague wall on the outside for Privacy. This will be for houses. Does that answer your question?


Thanks Drezin

If I'm reading you right, then you need zero detail, just a completely transparent, blank texture. No need to buy one. I'll drop one on your profile today.

Btw, if you can't afford Photoshop, GIMP is free and it's almost as good.

Thanks Chosen and Drift,

I will post my two new builds the second they are ready to see how you all like them. I will check out GIMP as well.

I will not be in world until to night but I will try them out then.

Thanks!

If Im not mistake there USED to be 2 textures already in inventory
One called Transparent-clear, the other called Transparent-white


Try searchin your inventory, you might already have them.
