placing an alphamap on a picture?

Graphics Shaders & Materials
1

Hey,

Im trying to place an alpha map ( the black / white) map thing over a picture to cut out the black, i don’t like unity’s greyscale alphamap creator as if you have colours that are dark you withh end up with a fully transparent object, im looking to cut out the black and leave the image totally opaque, But in the transparency materials even the alpha cut will not cut the texture out properly, instead it takes it all away,

any shaders or download updates or something someone may suggest?

thanx

You need to properly put the alpha image into the alpha channel of the texture using an image editor like Photoshop.

tanx for the swift reply, does this also
work when it comes to uv mapping characters?
