FPSC supports a picture format call Portable Network Graphics, or PNG. This format not only supports transparency, but multiple levels of transparency. What I mean by that is that some parts of the image can be more or less transparent than others. EXTREMELY useful, Hey? Use a free, High Quality image editor call Paint.Net,
available at http://www.getpaint.net/. I will post some screenies later.

I fixed the link too.

What it means, Gentlemen, is that a object can be partially transparent. It will be partly see-through, but not completely. Not only that, but different areas of the image can be set to different transparency levely, not just completely see-through or completely opaque, but an intermediate stage. Translucency is the proper term.

This texture is simplistic, I know, but it demonstrates the concept.

PNG is nothing new, sorry, some of use knew we could use that format since the EA version of FPSC. TGA & DDS also support these transparency abilities.
