Title: StencilAlpha?
Post by: Strip on December 17, 2009, 01:48:03 AM

Can someone explain the process behind StencilAlpha in AC3d or in any software?

I tried setting a square poly to StencilAlpha=1 and using 255,0,255 on a texture. I didn't think it could be that easy, I was right it would seem. The texture just shows up as hot pink instead of stenciling my door out.

From top of my head

Texture transparency
The alpha channel index number in [texture name]_a.txt file define the transparent colour in given texture.  This index number directly pointing to the pallet position = colour.

Texture stencil alpha
This property can use only if texture’s alpha channel is setup properly. The StencilAlpha=1 property allows the projectiles to pass the transparent texture areas without collision.

Thanks X-Jazz, the little extra .txt file did the trick first try!
