UnrealED alpha question

breakneck · Mar 2008

i'm still learning on UnrealED 2004 and i have an issue with my alphas flashing on screen. I'm pretty sure it is because of the overlap of the several alphas and a the rendering process is getting confused as to which one to show?? maybe i'm wrong. anyone know how to fix my problem. thanks!

Is this for environments of stuff like hair? If you can afford to do it, 1bit alpha with dxt3 compression can help you avoid a lot of those problems if I recall correctly. You can also try using a combiner material with your texture and playing with the alpha settings to help solve sorting.

I can't alphas to work in unrealED at all. I'm using 3. Help please?

are you changing the blend mode to masked, cody? to see, click on the channel input box to see the base material settings--there'll be a blend mode called masked or something like that.

Ok, can someone help me please? I tried both the opacity and opacity mask slots.

Sorry for hijacking your thread breakneck, just thought it would be silly to make another thread as the titles would be about the same.
