David that is almost exactly what i want, however the gradient does not quite fade out the same in both directions, it takes slightly longer to fade out heading to the top left corner rather then the bottom right. I need the same or it won't line up... If i tell you what i am trying to do, then maybe it will be clearer. I am trying to create an outline of my game playing area using fading red lines, (see attached picture*) using 8 plains, 4 corners and 4 sides. I need two 256x256 textures which will line up when textured onto these plains. The corner plain dimensions are 2Wx2W and the sides are WxL. Hope this is helpful, if it is still unclear then post any querys
Bmac thanks for trying anyway but i need it to line up.
Thanks again guys
*The rotation on the corner pieces is not quite right yet!
