Transparent brushes?

[MightyMidget]

Are they possible? If so how? I don't mean glass, but can i make a brush that's 'invisible'?

[rgoer]

Yeah, quite easily: apply the system/nodraw shader to it. If you need the brush to be solid, use system/nodraw_solid.

great! Now here's a tricky question. Is there some way to make eiffel tower like girders without using millions of brushes?

[Lil Killa]

yeah use this tutorial. It will teach the basic consept of the seethrough part which u will need to implement on your girder imaes u will have draw.

 

 

Or u could always make a model....

i have relatively extensive experience in doing textures, but none in modelling so i'll go with the former option, not to mention the former is much more performance friendly!
