Alpha channel on "viewport" vs. "Render view"
This could be hardware issue (my Vid card is Nvidia 7950 GT OC), but trying to clear new issue I am facing. I was doing a mini practice on "alpha channel," and everything was going good until I loaded all in Max... Displaying alpha on viewport looks Not alright.. (1) targa file (I got custom transparency BG.. don't get… -
Re: Alpha channel on "viewport" vs. "Render view"
Ghostscape and Eric, does Max cut off the one pixel at render times as well or just the viewport display? Alex -
Re: Alpha channel on "viewport" vs. "Render view"
Rules I've learned to check... [*]Same bitmap has to be in Diffuse and Opacity. [*]Opacity bitmap has to set Mono Channel Output = Alpha. [*]Show Map In Viewport has to be on at the material level. [*]Viewport Config > Rendering Method > Transparency = Best. [*]Can't see transparency if using Shade Selected instead of… -

Once I applied both, I think I turned on 'Show map in Viewport' button on "Opacity layer" which turned 'Show map in viewport' button… -

Like Guriamo said you need to turn on the mask submaterial the same way you turn on the defuse. -
Re: Alpha channel on "viewport" vs. "Render view"
did you check if you had the material turned on in the mat editor and not just the color map? -

Not just TGA, all the formats I've tried... PSD, DDS, etc. -
Re: Alpha channel on "viewport" vs. "Render view"
Finally it should be noted that Max cuts off 1 pixels worth of the alpha channel in the viewport with tga files and makes it pure black, which is very frustrating when you're trying to figure out why your tiling alphas aren't tiling
