A technical question, please.

Post by mauricepiesligeros »

Hello people!

Well, so far I've worked with BMPs and TGAs in several projects (flight simulators). So far I have learned for myself.

Now I'm trying to create some units for this game, but I found an obstacle. I managed to create transparency in PNG format, but I can not create the shadow that looks at the foot of the units. How I can do that? I can work with photoshop cs3 and gimp.

Thank you!

Certainly, I have succeeded. Here's the test. The drawing is not mine, just a technical experiment. Light Cavalry, equipped with javelins:
