Problems with textures

[Rick Fairlady]

When i upload and use a texture on a sculpty, parts of the sculpty are not there. I would insert a picture here to illustrate the problem, but for some reason the "insert picture" is ghosted.

The textures do not have transpartent areas, as you might think. They are png files and should not be transparent at all.

As an example i have a sculpty candle sitting in a candle holder (this is a single sculpy). you should not be able to see the base of the candle in the holder, but you can. if you rotate around the holder, you can see that it is all there.

I have used textures that i've found inworld, and they do not have this problem. The program i use to create the texture is photoshop, and the only option it gives when saving a png file is no/yes interlace. I select no.

What other picture files will SL let me upload?

Thanks

You can upload BMP, JPG, TGA and PNG images. JPG-format is not recommended fpr sculpties since it does not use a lossless compression algorithm. TGA and BMP are lossless. TGA and PNG may contain alpha channels - transparency/partial transparency

Hope this helps.

It is obvious that your files have transparent parts. A broken background layer? PNG does include transparency by default. Interlace is meaningless for SL. JPEG or TGA should work fine for texturing. Different formats may cause minor color differences.

Uploading it as a bmp worked!!! Thankyou!!
