Drop them in your c:\Sierra\Half-Life folder. (or whatever equivalent folder you have on your machine.)

if u have a layer with nothing behind it that u want trasparent, it turns it TRANSPARENT. if u want sumthing shiny u'd put a layer over it and make that TRANSPARENT

They enable "solid" and "indexed" transparency on HL models.

Sadly theres no additive transparency and the light value changing depending on your location makes "solid " transparency look odd (not like glass).
"indexed" transparency is great for webs, hair and holes with low poly count.

Just look at the DoD helmets having wood sticked in them or all the trees being models instead of world brushes.
Its a big performance boost when used good.

he's only got one skill (maybe) that i don't when it comes to paint.....tha shading...though, it looks like he does what i do...uses paint for most of it, then special effects through corel or photoshop....

i'm not saying his designs are ****, all i'm saying is that i beleive i could beat him in a straight up competition....

i've drawn detailed designs for everything from small electronic devices, to clothing, to weapons, all tha way to ships, fighters, and everything else in between....

so owen...what do ya' say?
