Transparent Orb Help, how??? Options

[samschoice]

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.

Thanks. It works perfectly.

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