Re: How do I get transparent windows on a repaint?

[daviatorxx]

Having the NAS DC-3 downloaded from the web (based on Jan's GREAT work) I
noticed that it did not have transparent windows. What can I do (using
Photoshop) to repaint the window textures in order to get this transparency?

Nothing in Photoshop. You can however get Martin Wright's program to do that.

Q: If the model itself doesn't have the transparent window part.... what good
would it be to have the window textured transparent?

Note that this is a generic question since I haven't downloaded the NAS DC-3 to
check it out...

Hiya Pheelicks,
I believe that if you apply a transparent texture to any part it becomes
transparent. Sometimes it doesn't always work right but that's what I do for my
canopies. I uses a reflection-like semi-transparent texture and apply it to the
part.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.

BTW... I managed to "remove" the spurious window from the Electra, but I'll try
the transparent texture on the "new" windows...
