Alpha HUD

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Alpha HUD

Any ideas on loading and displaying 2D images with alpha channel? Like on a HUD. Not MaskImage for transparent pixel, but actual alpha values.

Use quads.

Que?

How?

Try AlphaGUI by Jeppe Nielsen...it will give you nice idea what to do...

Quads: 2d in 3d. A quad is a rectangle comprised of two triangles. The 3d engine can do alpha.

Okay, so that would be in Code archive?

AlphaGUI? Ask Google.

Use Sprite Candy!!!
