Hello,

    For transparency, you have two things to do:
- first you have to create an alpha channel included in your texture. This alpha channel is a mask for the transparency (256 levels grey image, black will be transparent an white will be opaque.
- Second you have to declare a transparency limit in the material. For us, it works with a 90 % opacity level (10 % transparency).
Cheers
