Just installed Leopard & FCS2 on a dual 1.8 G5, a G4 iMac, and a Macbook Pro. They all seem to running fine with FCS2, of course, because that’s all Apple. There was one FCP crash. Make sure you run Software Update several times. It’s the “outside world” you’ve got to worry about. Our Epson printer won’t do discs anymore, the Canon scanner won’t go without VueScan (VueScan has better Canon support than Canon, seriously!), and then there’s Adobe CS3. Are their updates out yet? I guess we’ve got no way to use that until they are. That’s probably why my scanner wouldn’t go, I was using Photoshop CS2.

Educational, but unfortunately it didn’t address textures with alpha, and how to keep the alpha from turning white. I don’t have a recent manual, but i’ll check my version 7 manual. I could just give up and work around it, true, but this just seems so obvious, i find it hard to believe C4D can’t deal with alpha. I’m the kind of idiot that will beat my head against a wall for a week if i think there should be a door there. PLEASE! Somebody tell me there’s a door! : )

I tried applying the image to the alpha property in addition to the color property. It did remove the white background of the image, but unfortunately it also made the object transparent too, but only on the FRONT!? It’s a cylinder, with a face set as the image on both the color and alpha property. The picture is set to “front and back” and tile, so it shows up on back of the cylinder. Both of the faces are now “cut out” (don’t have the white rectangular bkgrnd that they did b4 i added the image to alpha), but now, one of the images is mapped properly on the yellow cylinder and one of them erases the cylinder and is floating in mid-air. The same thing happens with a tga. Weird?
