DeleD Community Edition

Yup it does.

I have been playing with it in the 2 hours passed. I've made this:

I have even added boulders to the scene.

Unfortunately DeleD crashed when I tried to lightmap it. I lost the entire scene. Crying or Very sad

That's why the boulders are not in the screenshot.

You touched upon getting Alpha channel in TGA's. I use Fireworks which uses PNG as native. I can start with a alpha background and then build up layers of imported textures/pictures, then export or simply save as a 32 bit PNG. From memory the alpha is based upon white (I think but not 100% sure), will a PNG work the same way as a TGA?

png has always worked with transperancy in deled. It's what I use.
Edit to add images:

Looking thru the semi transperant windows
Another view of the windows for reference
The windows are made using png images with alphablend checked.

If your PNG is 32 bit, it will probably have an alpha channel just like the TGA, so yes, I think it works the same way. Smile

In photoshop, you can easily make a TGA with alpha. Just create a fourth channel (R, G and B channels allready exist) and start painting on it. I believe that white corresponds to opaque and black to transparent.

I think the first case is true.
I could try another exporter, because the Ultimate Unwrap supports many formats.
Do you know which of the available exporters of DeleD supports vertex colors?

Nope, I dont. I never use the exporters.

I used both the new vertice insert tool and the much improved alpha blending tools. Both are a real asset to workflow. Very Happy

I would add, that it maybe a good thing that all the textures you use are the same size and resolution. This can cause issues when scaling with odd sized polygon faces.

Great. Looking forward to see what you can do with the new features. Smile

Btw, now that 2.44 is released, has anyone tried my tutorial yet?

AWM Mars · Posted: Fri Mar 26, 2010 4:17 pm Post subject:

Yes I did, along with the new vertice insert tool....

I know its not using your Pluggin, but I tried that earlier, and couldn't work out how to rotate/move/scale polygon faces, I could only see/use vertices. As my pathway was like a snake, it became overly complicated.

Huh.. you can't do it just by using DeleD alone. DeleD doesn't support editing multiple layers. Whatever you do, you won't get the results like in this tutorial.

There was the 'Doh' moment, I found the Polygon menu selection, made it easier, albeit I did have some scaling issues, but I'm sure thats due to the different resolution textures I am using. I'll change those and give it another go. On the face of it.. It performs quite well. Smile

With a bit of practise, I'm sure it will be a great tool for productivity and features.

Ok. Glad you like it. Smile

I'll make a short tutorial soon, to make it easier to use for the others.
