still didnt work.. i modeled the image and i rendered the image with a black background and then i opened it up with photoshop on a new layer and saved as TGA file and it still has all the black pixels on it =(

[motorollin]

Although they look the same colour in the original image, the pixels which have been chosen as transparent and the black pixels are a slightly different colour, so those parts have been left non-transparent. You need to load the image in to a picture editor, erase those black pixels so they are transparent, then export as a PNG with transparency.

ugh, ok

What program did you use to render the ship object, arcreamer? It's possible your graphic was rendered using anti-aliasing.

[arcreamer]

maybe i dunno

Thats not an anti-aliasing issue, or is would be just a border. That fragmentation effect is from the exporting of the image. When you render the image, DO NOT save as a jpg or gif file, as the default compression can make those fragments. Export as a tif or png file with NO compression, then do your post work in your image-editing program and save variation from the original.

but what if i only saved the rendered model and not the model itself...? therefore i can only do thing to the picture and i cant reexport... =(

[d-soldier]

I don't understand the question....?

Do you mean you rendered a picture of the model, but you didn't keep the model? (So now you can't take any other pictures of it?)

yeah LOL but i remodeled a better one now and actually saved it so dont worry about it =)
