Hi.

I'm tring and traing but i cant this thing works. I want to make sky with clouds, i use this code:

color Backdrop rgb(190,210,246)
make object sphere 1, -2000
load image 1, "c:\program\media\nuves.tga"
texture object 1, 2
wait key

but the only thing that i see it's a semy black sphere, even if the tga file has transparency layers and its 32 bits depth.

What im doing wrong?

here is the link of the "nuves.tga"

OK, first of all, copy the image into the project folder. It will be in My Computer, C, Program Files, Dark Basic, My Projects. After that, use a POSITIVE radius for the sphere. Voila!

As long as the location of the file is correct, you don't need to place it in the program folder. You need to make the radius negative then turn culling off with SET OBJECT or however it works in Pro.

make the radius positive, and use:

set object cull 1,0

then, use this command:

set object transparency 1,2

to be honest I'm not entirely sure. but experimentation has shown that a flag of 1 doesn't "blend" the translucent parts well, where as a flag of 2 seems to do a much better job!
