I thought that deleting background and saving as PNG would make that texture have a transparent background, so that we could look through it...
Here is the PNG file (I'm using photoshop) just tell me what button I forgot to press.
Thanks

Re: Texture with transparent background
Hi Leon,
Model side. You can use a two layer texture to put the cross on the sail. Make the base layer the sail texture and the second layer the cross. Use two images for the cross layer. One is the the cross texture you want to see and the other is a transparency mask. Make it white where you want to see through, black for opaque, and shades of gray for partially transparent.
When doing it this way don't use any native transparency feature of png.

Re: Texture with transparent background
LeonRegis...
On TrueSpace model side you would make
background Black and then use transperencey Map.
Every thing black would be transparent...
I used the same pic for Color Map,Tranperancey Map and Bump Map.
You don'thave to use a Bump Map...
Cheers!!!
