Guest Speaker: Creating Transparent Textures By: Vince

[Vince]

I have been working on updating the modeling Session 1. In going over the student questions and comments, I found the most common issue was difficulty in making the transparent texture for the ruler. So, I've written a tutorial on creating transparent textures that works with most paint programs, including Paint.Net, the GIMP, and PhotoShop. It uses the small, free program DXTBmp in conjunction with your paint program.

I've attached the tutorial here as a Word document. If you do not have Microsoft Word, you can download the free program: Microsoft Word Viewer.

Feel free to post your comments or experiences with this tutorial or the technique it describes.
