Hello, I'm new to the engine and I'm messing around trying to familiarize myself with the engine. I'm constructing a world and I've come to the point to where I'd like to import some foliage, so I made my grass model in Wings3D..



And as you can see there are some odd lines surrounding the image..
This is the source image.



So those lines didn't originate from the image file, so I figured it was simply the way wings3d rendered it, so I export it in .3ds into Esenthel, and it appears the same way..



So my question is, is this a Wings3D issue, an Esenthel issue, or a mistake on my part that caused the Alpha to not work correctly? And how could I fix it? If it is a Wings3D Alpha compatibility issue than what are there any tutorials you could point me to that are for Blender and/or 3ds Max?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kaleb

Try change alpha value in material settings. Or open file in some graphic program and color background with black brush a specialy place where you see those lines.

I tried what you said and there was no difference in how it appeared.

I re created the mesh in 3ds max, exported, and now I can't apply my alpha map. It looked great in 3ds max (no lines), and now I can only get the diffuse to apply in the material window. I drag and drop the alpha map onto various places in the window, trying to see if I am just moving it to the wrong spot, but I can't get it to go in at all, even when I try to apply it as the diffuse..

Am I doing this totally wrong?

Your file have to have special name you can read about create materials here:

please reattach the texture file, I can't access it for some reason.
the texture is at fault.
either it has alpha incorrectly, or maybe it's non-power of two, and the border pixels are causing this.
