If your loaded image contains an alpha channel it will be honoured, meaning transparent or partially-transparent textures will be supported. You can choose to make all black pixels (RGB=0,0,0) transparent, even if your image doesn't support transparency (see below). |
The General tab of the Pictures Properties dialog contains the following fields:
Name: displays the current name of the selected data object overlay.
Source: shows the name of the loaded object from which the current 3D overlay was derived.
Opacity: set the opacity of the object (low values = more transparent). The default is 100% opacity.
