To make see through textures like that....
The see through parts are defined in the bump map's alpha channel, not the diffuse map. It wont matter if there are any alphas in the diffuse for textures like these(it will matter with glass tints though). That there is a Shader Environment, it has a base map AND a bump map, the bump map has transparent parts in it that show up as those holes in the grating.

Pretty sure transparency is determined by the alpha channel in the diffuse map.

For shader_environments, transparency is based on the normal/bump map's alpha; unlike shader_models and most other shader types, the alpha of the diffuse is used not for transparency but for the specular (the equivalent of the red/blue channels in a shader_model's multi map). You must also check off the "alpha tested" flag in the shader_environment tag. |
