Alpha edge problem

Post by Marky7890 »

Hi All,

Does anyone else get a line around the edges of alpha planes, and does anyone know how to fix this? It seems to happen on all my content at the edge of a shape which has an alpha channel. All the alpha textures are 2 colours, black and white. and this is a single sided shape, so it's not coming from any other sides.

Thanks,
Mark

It's an issue with using all of a single image prevalent in Gmax, from what I remember you need to actually either select crop and select very slightly in from the edge of the image when mapping or just not map to the edge depending on how you are mapping. Is very noticeable on some backdrops with a line across the top edge.
Doesn't happen if you use a multi image and map it, unless it's on the edge of the image.

I've got an issue with a Station Canopy that needs sorting, if you look carefully at your screenshot you appear to have that issue as well, barely noticeable but you can see it if you know what you are looking at, just haven't got round to sorting mine yet.
Cheers
