Transparecny on cars

This is possible....well kinda......

Someone emailed me with a picture of a modified car which he made in ZM. It has a transparent object. thing is, this already exsisted on the car. the object was the front 'window' on the front of the cockpit of the car (know which bit i mean?). now i havent tried myself yet, but if this object has enough points on it, it can be stretched underneath a touring car roof (JUST underneath it), and it will make a window, on all the parts of the car needed, following me?

Transparent windows might yet be possible in GP4!

sry i didnt post the guys name. He emailed my lycos address and lycos is patheticly slow (takes over 6 min to login on cable)

sweet!

yay, lookin forward to it

well if its possable on that part, its possable on any, we just have to work out how its done, in ZM, transparency is done using alpha layers and channels, in materials found in the materials editor, so ellis check it, and find out about the material that object is using

will give it a look soon, good thinking batman (dont kill me zcott

well, the guy who send the picture was me.
as i said before we can use the z_visor in the carshape to get transparent windows for outside- and onboard-camera view, not for cockpit-view.
it hasn´t got too many points but it can be scaled and maybe duplicated (which i haven´t tried)

This sounds good! Wouldnt it be could, if this was possible, to create a BTCC mod or something.

ah yes, thank you schroeder! Excelent work my man! I still cant login in to lycos to see if u replied, it just wont log me in! If u wana email me, then try lost_prophet_gpxc@hotmail.com and i will defaintly get it

Yes like that

So whens it gonna be ready :D

erm, duno! I have finshed the models, and i dont as of yet have any textures sent to me, so i have nothing to map! I havent the slightest idea where to start with the cockpit, so will do it later.

The main thing is obviously the cars, and then physics, and until the guy sends me the textures, i have nothing to map!
