How do you make part of a texture appear transparent in game? For example, I have this planet texture. I don't want to the black area around the planet to appear in the map, just the planet.

It needs an alpha channel. White is visible and black is not.

I'm positive I have an alpha channel. When I re-open the image in photoshop the alpha channel is still in the channels. However, in 3DS Max, Sapien, and in game, the black area is still shown. Is there some sort of special setting I need to turn on in the 3DS Max material for it to enable the alpha?
