Originally posted by RDX Hey, I have not tried this yet, but I have heard of ways of importing that kind of stuff into Sketchup. Sketchup CAN import and place (and export! ) half-transparent textures, all the built-in wire mesh textures are built like that.From experience, I know creating such a texture is possible using something like Photoshop, or paint.net, but I haven't imported one of such textures into Sketchup yet to see if it works. So basically, I will tell you how to do it on Photoshop, since I have never used paint.net...but I assume the process is similar. So what you need to to is open a new blank file in Photoshop. If the background looks checkered, it means it's transparent, (the background should be completely checkered ATM). Next, insert a layer overtop the background, and insert your texture on this layer. Then, using one of the select tools, remove all the areas you want to make transparent, by selecting them and deleting them. Finally, export your texture as a .png file. This is where it gets iffy, since I've never tried it myself...(I'll do so tomorrow when I'm back on a PC) Now, go to Sketchup, and import the .png texture. Apply it to the surface. The transparent areas SHOULD be transparent when you look through, if not you may need to decrease the alpha. (In the edit textures, I think.). Now, export the .obj file, and import to SM64. It SHOULD work. Hope this helps! (Also, people, plz don't forget my previous questions )

It's not as simple as that. I'm not just pulling textures out and putting them back in, I'm making a model in sketchup and trying to use a texture that is partially transparent. Skelux could probably help but he never answers my questions. I dunno, I'm stumped. I understand what you're talking about, but I don't think it works that way with imported models.
