  Material Alpha Problem

  Posted by Will Flowers on February 20, 2009 at 7:18 am

  I am trying to use a photoshop image with an alpha layer to give the appearance of “die cut” on a display I am creating. I have tried every file format when saving out of photoshop but the image either mirrors horizontally or won’t work. Any thoughts? I have a quick turnaround.

  Thanks,

  -will

  The mirroring has to do with the way the texture is mapped in Cinema rather than the file format. If you don’t want to mess with the texture projection you can put the bitmap in a layer shader, add an Effect>Transform layer, and check the “Mirror” option.
