Alpha problems when loading B3D

I'm having some alpha problems when loading my B3D level. As you can see the transparent part is just black. Is this my fault?, do I have to enable alpha on the model or something? I've tried to save the PNG in Photoshop and GIMP, both have the same result.

You need to set up TextureFlags to load textures with alpha/masking flags set. I assume MiniB3D has TextureFlags like BB3D does.

But the B3D model of the level itself loads the textures, I have no LoadTexture fuction in my code, only LoadMesh.

You need to use the TextureFilter command. Change your alpha texture names to include a tag (say _alpha), and then use this tag with the flag 3, like so: TextureFilter,"_alpha",3 Use this after the Graphics3D command, but before you load your model.

TextureFilter! That's what I meant!
