Mike, you have 255 for the alpha parameter in osSetDynamicTextureDataBlendFace. Our existing code (which works fine) uses 0 for that parameter, and "alpha:0" in extraParams. Hi John, I already tried making that parameter 00, and, like setting zero on osPenColor alpha, and in the extraParams, it mak...

ok found a solution. There's two bugs in the dynamic texture functions wrt alphas. Firstly, they won't do complete transparency, you have to have a value of at least 01 for the functions to execute properly. Secondly, in addition to specifying the alpha in the osSetPenColor function, in the osSetDyn...

What is the Alpha Mode setting on that surface?

Alpha blending.

osSetPenColor as documented allows us to set pen color by a hexadecimal value that includes a two character value for the transparency preceding the six digit hex color value. So 00 = transparent and FF = opaque, such that 00000000 is transparent black and FF000000 is opaque black. However this not ...

Go ahead and put the textures into the contents of the window object. Just referring to a UUID in the script does not protect textures against a person using another script with llGetTexture() to grab the key, then apply that key to a flat surface to take a snapshot. You can have your scrip.t use ll...

So this issue has not been fixed in the past year?

You can Mike using Cycles render instead of Blender Render. You set up your materials in the material tab assigning the mesh to each one. Then for each material you use the Cycles nodes to create the result you are looking for and bake that result. Creating the materials and getting them mapped rig...

ya and baking is buggy and painting takes time. I haven't tried ezbump - is there a link? I tried a couple of online normal map makers which no longer seem to exist and the Nvidia plugin for PS. I ended up paying for CrazyBump, which is somewhat crashy but saves a lot of time if the normal map shou...

I took a brief interest in hard surface modeling so I could get things like buttons and belt buckles looking better. There's a lot on the subject, most of it for Max or Maya but the concepts are the same as Blender. Short version: set everything to smooth in Object mode; you can try flat shading on...

Ok once I got the outrigger flight decks separated from the midsection of the ship, I uploaded the midsection, and it first showed up as 49k verts, but as soon as I hit "generate normals", it dropped down to 22k, which is still twice the 11k verts of the model in Blender, but I am curious as to why ...
