Synergy Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Which engine are you using?If it's DX8, you just use .PNG image files and have the background transparent.If it's DX7, whichever colour is in the top left pixel, that is the transparency colour. So, if the top left pixel is coloured red, anything which is red will be transparent in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.House Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Download GIMP (it's free)Once you downloaded and installed, open it.Open then the image you want, Follow the image instructionsThen Select the Background and hit button Delete.It should appear as Background the Alpha Channel , like in the image.Export it.
