  • Alpha texture question?

    Posted by Jon Herron on December 7, 2007 at 5:05 am

    Why does the a texture with an alpha on top of another texture without a texture make the bottom texture disappear, along with the geometry? Its invisible. Im trying to center a texture with an alpha and it difficult without seeing the boundaries of the model.

    It seems I was in a top view so I percieved the geometry to be missing.

    But, still can the bottom texture be viewable, while editing the top material with an alpha channel. i.e. Clicking on the most right most material(with a an alpha) on top of a material(no aplha say it a red color) Makes the red unviewable, disappear.

    does this make any sense, sorry its kinda late

    You have to enable stacked textures in the viewport (Display>Stacked Materials).
