Hi, Just for fun I was delving back into Fixed Function Pipeline and taking a look at DP3 bump mapping (never tried it before). I was wondering if it were possible to include alpha into the equation so that you get a partially transparent texture lit using DP3 bump mapping? My first attempts ended up with the light vector turning the texture black and therefore transparent. Any ideas of the renderstates I need to set up to simply light a texture using DP3 AND retain transparency without the transparency being affected by the DP3 operation? Does that make sense?

feel like an idiot now... missed that one completely!

Should have read the manual a bit more closely!


Works a treat - cheers.

You have me interested now - I wouldn't mind seeing a screenshot if you could take one (yes, I know the DP3 won't be as cool looking in a screenshot, but I am interested in seeing what it does look like).
