heartagram - love metel?? WTF! lol
heres wot u do.
alpha out what you want transparent in the image. put yr alpha'd .PNG on the root of C named orb.png.
fire up notepad and copy and paste this:
| QUOTE |
Texture MyTex { Source orb.png Format D3DFMT_DXT1 Width 256 Height 256 }
|
save the file as orb.txt to the root of your pc C drive.
get a copy of bundler (dont ask) and put it also on the root of C.
then hit start/run/then type in "cmd".
in command box type:
cd c:\ (then hit enter)
then type "bundler orb.txt -o xbox4.xbx" it will produce the xbx with transparency named xbox4.xbx. insert in the appropriate .xip.
say 'voila', make a popping sound by clapping yr hand to yr mouth and yr done.

The 'blue' that you see in some xbx's is actually the transparency. By alpha i mean to make transparent. in yr image editing app you would simply select the portion of yr image that you want transparent (that u dont want to see) and delete it, saving it then as a .png.
and dont forget, the most important part of the process is the voila and popping sound
