Hey Kevin,

You should be loading that alpha image into the alpha channel of the material instead of the transparency. to scale things up / move them around you need to be on texture mode, it’s located in the same panel as your polygon/point/edge/object modes.

Awsome! thanks Dan!! you saved me hours and hours of work, next
time you’re in Calgary I’ll buy you a beer!

Ther expression looks just like that and is working just fine =)
when i move the slider control all of the layers offset in the Z only now, which is what we wanted =)
when i posted that it was still moving in the x and z, I neglected to change the expression
for the other layers. I am using photos so I will have to add the expression to each of the layer’s position .. 300 layers of fun I tell ya!, or perhaps there is a tweak I am unaware of. /shrug

Cheers and thanks again.

Ahh I had left the other expression on the other layers, that fixed it,
Never work past 3am.. lol. thanks so much Dan =)

[Richard Dunstan]

Lol well I knew I was close, but not that close.
I just got to work so I will have to wait to try it tonight.

thanks for the response Dan! =)

Yeah that was it, i realized after playing around a little more that i needed to have encode alpha checked off in the advanced tab >< thanks so much for your reply =)
