Is there a better way to model polys that are glass than to detach and move the verts just slightly away from the rest of the geometry...e.g., a window pane being barely smaller than the window frame?


Which shader is best to use with a crappy video card: transparent_glass or transparent_chicago?

I tried _glass but it comes out completely clear although i may have screwed up the alpha mask...still learning to do this with gimp.

tried _chicago, no transparency at all :/

If this is for a map, make it double sided.

in the tag or in max? will this get rid of those update edge errors?

Make it double sided in Max. By using % at the end of the material name.

ok that worked thanks....saves me a lot of trouble with the extra polys.

is there a way to make the damage effects show up on it?


also, i broke down and dled a trial of PSPX2 to make the texture...couldn't get it to go with GIMP.

and if anyone has a fail gfx like me..use the transparent_chicago.
