      I am trying to do something very basic in the material editor. I want to put a logo over a color while maintaining the colors of th logo. I have a red color on one layer and the logo png on another. But when I click on "use alpha" the transparency kicks in but the logo turns solid white with no color. I even tried using a jpeg of the logo in the diffuse channel and the png in the clip mapping but I keep getting a white logo. Does anyone know what I am missing?

        If you want something like the attached picture (supposing that the green pattern is your logo and your background is red) follow the steps below. πŸ˜„

          Thank you so much! Your tutorial worked for me.

          Now there is just one other mystery I want to solve. I want to experiment with existing materials from the library as backgrounds. When I click on "Material Instance" the words are added to the list but nothing happens. If I right click, nothing happens. How can I get the bronze material as a background layer?

          EDIT: Mystery solved. I did a search and found out that in KT2008 I have to select the existing materials from the preview screen. I'm good to go. Thanks again.
