Importing Targa files ignores alpha channels

[LazyCoder]

I render TGA and PNG directly from trueSpace. And MMF loads those pictures fine. Even single pictures.

Ah, now i see what you do wrong. It's about how you import your pictures.

Enter Picture Editor. Click at Import. Choose your picture.

Have a closer look at the Import Options now: Options - Transparent Colour - there is a colour picker button. Click at the Pick Button and pick the colour of your image you want to have transparent. Then click OK, and your PNG or TGA should be transparent by Alpha Channel when there is one. No matter what colour your transparent colour has

That's what I've been doing. That only works for me on animations.

Strange. As told, this also works for me when importing a single TGA in backdrops and in an Active Object.
