Transparent Orb Help
« on: December 01, 2004, 05:04:00 PM »

How do I make the orb in thclite transparent so that I can see the xbox4 image inside the orb? The image shows up if I turn off the orb in the config.

I'm sorry if this has already been covered but I cannot find how anywhere.

Thanks to gasclown, here's how:

paste this:

DEF MyNewOrb Transform
{
  children
  [
      Shape
      {
          appearance Appearance
          {
              material MaxMaterial
              {
                  name "MainMenuOrb"

              }
              texture ImageTexture
              {
                  url "orbpic.xbx"  //call the pic what you like just put its name here. remove this text before u paste
              }
          }
          geometry DEF Main_pod_backing01-FACES Mesh { url "Main_pod_backing01-FACES.xm" }
      }
  ]
  rotation -0.993700 -0.088440 0.068970 -1.576000
  scale 1.440000 1.440000 1.440000
  scaleOrientation 0.036530 0.975200 0.218400 -0.396500
  translation -58.220001 -12.680000 29.980000
}




above 'DEF Main_pod_backing02 Transform' in default.xap/mainmenu5.xip. then put the 'wot_ever_u_called_it.xbx' in mainmenu5.xip. this will allow to to turn the tHcorb on - and - see yr pic.

It will have a pic appear in the orb.

Thank gasclown!  You could probably slightly modify this code and link it to a model or mesh...
