Animated textures
-
For some reason I want to add an animated texture. have photoshop elements 10 (including nvidia tools), but that does not support alpha channels.
Is there a way to add alpha channels anyway, or are there other programs which can do that?
ty in advance

Hi,
what exactly do you want to achieve? SketchUp does not support animated textures (other than plugins that shift a texture in time intervals). I also haven't heard about how an alpha channel can be useful for animated textures. An alpha channel is another "sub image" in addition to a red, green and blue channel, and it adds information about each pixel's transparency. So you would be able to look through a textured face in SketchUp.I believe you can create images with alpha channel in Photoshop Elements. Gimp can do it as well:
• right-click on a layer → Add alpha channel (if it hasn't already)
• use the Select tool to select an area and delete (DEL) it or cut it ou (ctrl+x) -

Sorry Aerilius, though it was not me, sometimes shit happens when two mods are trying to delete duplicate posts at the same time and they cross work on it - or when they delete a topic (around) the same time someone else pushes the "Submit" button.

So to achieve that, need to make a surface containing an animated picture, so it does not have anything to do about transperancy.
Which plugins can make a time interval on textures?
