Difficulty in Creating Alpha Channels

[dgionet]

Hi to all,

I have currently attempted to create an alpha channel to the following ace file taken from the Frampton Shops but all failed, using GIMP 3, Paint Shop Pro 2023.

First question: Which software is the easiest to make alpha channels.

Second question: Any good tutorials out there ? Have looked online but can't get the hang of it.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Denis

The 3D model needs to have been created to "accept" an alpha channel. You can potentially uncompress the .s file and modify the prim states

If you are trying to alpha out the doors, shown in the texture thumbnail. This is what you get.

the door parts are just a layer over the wall parts. and all the walls use the same texture so if you cut a hole in it for the doorways you get holes on all 4 sides of the structure.

OK thanks. Will check it out.

Also beware that the model may not have an interior, so if you manage to make the doors opened, you may not see anything inside, and will see through the building to whatever lies beyond it..
