TRANSPARENCY

Before to talk about transparency, please, download these two "pieces", our old friend "legoic" in two versions (one, seated):

legoicM.ase - in the folder legoicM

arms.jpg - in the subfolder Textures

body.jpg - in the subfolder Textures

chest.jpg - in the subfolder Textures

hair.jpg - in the subfolder Textures

theFace.jpg - in the subfolder Textures

legoicMS.ase - in the folder legoicMS

arms.jpg - in the subfolder Textures

body.jpg - in the subfolder Textures

chest.jpg - in the subfolder Textures

hair.jpg - in the subfolder Textures

theFace.jpg - in the subfolder Textures

Like ever, for all the DMU-like pieces, you can change the textures and to create many different habitants for your spaces.

To create a piece in 3ds max, having transparency in Croquet, the modeler needs not to use any "material" in the piece - if you are not a 3dsmax user this is not important for you.

Download this other piece that doesn't have texture :

transparentWallRound12x7x4.ase - in the folder transparentWallRounded2x7x4

In the initialize method of the Class TransparentWallRound12x7x4 you can use the method transparency: 

initialize

super initialize.
tframe := (TLoad3DSMax new initializeWithFileName: 
	   (FileDirectory pathFrom:
            {FileDirectory default pathName.  'Content'.   'transparentWallRound12x7x4'. 'transparentWallRound12x7x4.ase'}) 
	   scale: 0.1  shadeAngle: 90.1 textureMode: GLReplace) frame.
tframe collapse.
tframe boundsDepth: 3.
tframe initBounds.
self addChild: tframe.
tframe objectOwner: self.
tframe transparency:0.50.
inControl := false.

Look the efect of some values of the parameter of the method.
