Hi I am trying to make a ice decal to put over the road. However the decal has no transparency. How would I make a decal have transparency so that i can still see the road underneath. thanks
You need paint.net or gimp, first take the ice texture you want, copy and paste it then take something like a slightly transparent decal road, copy and paste it then use that, make road texture the color of ice you want, you could use a brush with a blue alpha do not make it a solid color though. then use the lasso and copy and paste a part of your slightly transparent ice colored road image. Paste that random shape in areas around your ice texture then soften image, in paint.net it's effect/image/soften for gimp I don't know. Set the soften effect to your liking and then open beamng drive editor go into decals edit a decal your not using with material editor and select your custom material.
Take it into an image editor (GIMP or Photoshop) and edit the alpha. You can usually add a layer mask to change the alpha. Color the layer mask a grey color to make it semi-transparent. White reveals, black hides, grey is in between. Enable the transparency on the material that the decal uses after saving.
