Black=chrome

Postby wji » Tue Apr 26, 2005 10:50 am

sorry for not RTFM but i'm in a hurry to go out today.

Using DXTbmp and importing extended, export to 24bit then save as extended is changing my black to chrome (white)

some paintkit items are easy to change back (maintain black) by repainting them using a 4,4,4, instead of a 0,0,0,

Does anyone have a better fix for the tires?

Thanks
Bill
P.S. I use Pixia3.1 (mainly)

EDIT: Done.

save as DXT3 opaque, that will get rid of the alpha channel which is what causes the black areas to display as chrome

hope it helps

Thanks for the tip yes, I set opacity to 99% (which is not black) and as one can see, black tires and spinners.
