dust transparent?

[raedor]

a pic first:

i think you see what the problem is: you can't see the dust... it appears only when i'm very close to the model like on the pic. when i'm away, i can see the dust.
so it has to be a bug in the first LODs... any ideas?

Far as I know the dust doesnt have anything to do with the model LOD its all to do with the memory.Or unless im not understanding the question correctly.

the question is why i don't see the dust which is between "the virtual photographer" and the tank...

two more pics.
it looks like this:

but it should look like this one:

I may be right but you should change the type of the texture files. I mean: if you use .paa files, try to convert them to .pac, and vica versa. It was a bit ago when I faced this problem and I think this was the solution... (???)

[raedor]

it is with paa on both pics... so this can not be the problem.

[oyman]

maybe a view geometry lod will help or do you already have?

[raedor]

both (the working and the not working tank) do not have a view geometry lod.

but thanks for your suggestions, oyman and LizardX. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

could try to cut and paste the whole model in o˛ then save it and try again. A long time ago it fixed a problem i had with alpha textures on windows.

do you have more than 1 resolution LOD?

yes. 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.0

[oyman]

you might of fixed this by now but i was making a tank and had the same problem as yours and i noticed when i added View-cargo and a view-pilot lod, the bug disappeared http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

Well maybe the memory points are backwards.Try looking at the front of the vehicle while moveing and see what that looks like.

[Indy]

if you havn't fixed it already, i had the same problem and it was caused by too much textures with alfa channel. I've removed some of them and it worked.

[raedor]

thanks for your hints, i'll check that (esp. the memory points!).
