Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 12-18- 09:20 PM What's the best way to edit a planes shadow (to coincide with a new one)? In AC3D I know we can edit the points of the shadow, but for the actual image file, what's best and how do you go about doing it? Thanks IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 12-18- 11:50 PM i use photoshop 5.5 and open the image and look at the alpha channel. then you'll see what the shadow will look like. Razer IP: Logged

roadtoad Pilot	posted 12-19- 04:01 AM So how does one open an .inta file? I've tried just renaming the extension to something pshop will open, but with no luck. I can see how to just make one as a tiff file, but even if you just work with the alpha layer, pshop automatically puts the RGB channels back in when you save as a tiff IP: Logged
Bryan Russell Pilot	posted 12-19- 04:23 AM I think that if you set the texture flags right in the SM file, SDOE will use only the alpha channel. A bit of a waste of 3/4 of the file but it should work. IP: Logged
roadtoad Pilot	posted 12-21- 05:15 PM thanks Bryan - looks like that's what I'll have to do - i should be able to get away with a low-color custom palette. IP: Logged
