Do png's have transparency? (Solved)

I have an alpha texture with transparency but it wont show transparent in game. Am i doing something wrong or do I have to make it a .dds to have transparency?

 

PNGs do support transparency, but DDS is really preferable because it can be compressed in video memory. I don't know if the game engine supports transparency with PNGs (it probably does), but it definitely does with DDS so it's worth the switch.

 

Code:

translucentBlendOp = "LerpAlpha";

That's what most transparent textures I've seen have used.
But yes, use DDS textures too.

 

Ok thanks!

 

Ok I tried that and it didn't work

 

Are you sure your texture has an alpha channel once it's saved?

 

If there's nothing underneath, try using layer 0, instead of 1?

This usually works for me.

 

ho i open .dds?

 

It depends on what you are using. For photoshop download the Nvidia Texture Tools.

This worked! Thanks all, I guess layer 0 is always rendered even if there is no layer 0, it was overriding layer 1
