Anyone know how can i make a texture for a object with a pink or background to become invisible for example a grate of a door, such as this texture for a scaffold:

just make it a png texture and use transparency, NewDark supports that.

A quick note, to avoid future confusion: in png the transparency is to be applied directly to the texture layer, instead of a separate alpha channel.

It depends on what graphics program you use. You can easily find instructions by using google. Just search for [Graphics program name] transparent background.

Convert all the white to transparent.

I´m using photoshop, how do you set a picture to transparency ?

I use PSP, but what I would do with an image like that in PSP is to select all, then use the select transparency function and tell it that white is the transparent color. There is a threshold I can play with to make it select colors within a certain range of white so I get more of it. Then I go in with the selection tools, zoom in and clean it up, which would probably take 20-30 minutes of fussing with it. Once I have only the fence selected, I would copy and paste it into a new image with a transparent background and do more cleanup, then save, making sure its dimensions are a power of two.
I don't know how you'd do that in PS, but there are probably a million PS tutorials out there.

With that particular picture you posted, Pedro, it would be more difficult to do because the background isn't all white. It has many shades of gray and some blue in the background which are also used in the fence. So separating those colors will not be easy. It is certainly possible, but it will take a lot of tweaking. I made a quick transparent version, but it isn't perfect because I didn't have the time to spend on it right now. You can see/download it (

If you open it in an image editing program like Photoshop or PSP, it would be transparent. Also in dromed.
But it would be better if you found an image with a background that is all one color, or at least one in which the background colors are not also used in the part you want to keep.

Thank you mike, that was kind of you, if i use selective colors in photoshop i might get the pink color that becomes invisible in Dromed?
