Add an alpha channel to the texture, I think.

The alpha channel does not work. I suppose I should have stated that I have already tried using a complete black background, an also alpha channels. Grrr... fpsc

As it happens, transparency should be equal to 2. It works that way somehow

After a little fiddling with plants, I've decided everyone should use them. The detail they add to your levels is outstanding!

You're so right, JRH. There's nothing like a little grass here and there to decorate your outdoor scenes. That screenshot looks great!

...very true.

I've found that often a little grass used indoors can also really help to improve
things nicely.

@JRH,

Nice work on this.

...any chance you're planning on making this available as a DL?

I think that's right. I know there are other places to get plants though: Check out Slatter Spawn when it comes back online.

Anyway... I have created video (or tried to atleast, video recorders don't work well with this level and its 'millions' of dynamic objects.

I can't believe how nice my test levels are turning out. Plants really make the difference.

Try these:

Set "transparency = 2" that way the transparent parts will not hide dynamic models behin it
