Now that everything is ok with how to apply the textures, I need to know how to make an object transparent (canopy)

Any tutorial for this, or if it's short, can someone explain me here?
Thanks

That happened to me too. Make sure the Pivot point is where its supposed to be, that should bring up the x, y, and z. If not just move it around till you place it right in the object Hope this helps

And I thought that the question I asked above is stupid...........
How do I change this pivot point? Sad

BTW, most of you are probably surprised how did I got this far with designing without knowing all this.... it just that I did read tutorials and the Gmax's tutorials, but this wasn't mentioned, or at least I don't remember it was.......
BTW#2: I don't know why you can't see the picture I uploaded before.....

Well i uninstalled Gmax some time ago but i do remember that you gotta go to one of the 'menus' in the bar on the right side of the program (Create, Modify, etc.) and check each one since i dont remember which category...anyways one category will have an option that says 'Affect Pivot Point Only' Click that one and move the pivot point with the move tool. Youll have to use the pivot point alot especially when rotating and moving parts and animating.

PS: You might try zoomin out to see if you can see the pivot point in the distance Wink

Your object's transparency is controlled by the alpha value assigned to the material.
