textures
 

Hi,

:headbang:

I am not geting the concept of ALPHA in texturing

Can anybody explain me ?

alpha means empty = transparent. create a checkerFile (black and white) and map it to the transparency channel. create a light with rayTracing shadows. render.

Thanks for the reply but I am a bit confused.
:confused:

for example,

I have a layered texture. it contains a Grid texture and a checker texture (black and white) now I have to make alpha (masking )settings such that I will see checker as black and white tiles and Grid as a grouting between the tiles.

How exaxtly we can achieve that by "alpha settings"

This tutorials shows how to make an alpha channel texture...it puts a label on a bottle...follow the texture section, it should work for ya...even has a zip to DL for help.

Thanks

I will try this.
