There is a great way to make images invisible. Don't draw them.

In Blitz3D? You'd need to be using an entire quad-based 2D engine to achieve that.

Do what Gabriel said.

The OP didn't specify whether he meant 2D images or 3D textures. All he said was "image", which could easily be a reference to textures. Moreover, the fact that he already knows about MaskImage and is asking in the Blitz3D forum makes me guess he means textures.

oops, sry, yeah i mean textures, images down get along with graphics3d

do you mean part of the texture or the whole thing? if you man part then use flag 2 or if the part you wan see-through us flag 4. for the whole thing, not exactly sure on how you would do that.

Vertex alpha?
Or if you want the whole mesh, just entity alpha/hideentity?
