Opacity map with xoliul?

tonyd927

Hello,

I am trying to make the pressure gauge on a fire extinguisher, I have my maps set up correctly but the opacity isnt working. Well...It works but it makes the parts below the plastic cover on the gauge see through

The glass is trasparent, yes, but I cant see the actual gauge under the glass.

Any clues?

Im using max 2014 and xoliul's shader


as you can see, the plastic cover on the pressure gauge isnt clear :poly127:



and when I make it clear this happens:


believe it or not there IS a polygon under there with a pressure gauge texture -_________-

Its because you have multiple seperate Objects behind each other. I guess there is an option in xoliul to set the render order or to enable Hard masking to make multiple objects visible through transparancy (for example when you render grass planes).

So I should delete the glass part, then add it again? Im confused


EDIT: my gosh it was THAT easy. Thank you!
