Blender Alpha not Exporting to PureLight

[Davaris]

I'm having trouble getting the clear areas showing (or not showing) in pureLIGHT. As you can see the spiky bits look right in the Blender render.

But the black part is not transparent in pureLIGHT.

Has anyone got any ideas? Is it the problem in Blender, or is it something else?

The pureLIGHT preview doesn't show any transparency atm.

 

If you go into the object's properties and go into its material properties, you can set its transparency type to Alpha to make it transparent to the ray-caster.

I really dont know: i'm using only MAX for export

I tried that and it didn't have an effect in the Leadwerks editor.

 

One thing I just noticed is mesh files in certain directories, are not being updated. Is there an option to make these update in the editor?

 

The mesh files in these directories, have not updated, while the light maps have:

BoxDemoProject\Module_Common\ExportedLighting

BoxDemoProject\Module_Common\ExportedLighting\Obj

BoxDemoProject\Module_Common\3diobj

 

This one was updated:

BoxDemoProject\Module_Common\MeshSettings

The mesh files only really store the geometry of the mesh, they don't need to be updated with the exception of saving in vertex colors for VL meshes.

 

As for the Leadwerks editor and transparency, you'll still have to set that up as you normally would in Leadwerks.

Okay thanks for your help Thomas. I think I've got a working understand of it now.
