Alpha channel

Hello Everyone!
I'm just trying to learn something about scenery design. Here my first question: how to make texture with alpha channel?

Please.. anyone help me

It depends on the program that you have.

Thanks Radarman... done that with COREL PhotoPaint...

One of the best programs around.

True... I've tried some others but got used to PhotoPaint. Anyway... Do You know where can I find some support for begginers... I think it makes no sense coming here with every simple question... and as I learn more the questions are only growing...

I use Adobe Photoshop but I'm less than a novice at it.
Here are a few forums for Corel and good luck with it.

Corel is not such a big problem for me. I (now) know it enough to make a texture. I'm looking for some forums or tutorials with topics such as making lights, double-sided textures etc...

P.S. I just finished my first "real-world" chimney thanks to Your help, although I'm trying to apply some obstacle lights to it. My ambition now is to make a sporting airfield scenery (hope You'll see it soon).

The net is loaded with tutorials for Corel and other graphic programs.
When you have something finished yes we'd like very much to see it.

One of the problems is that I don't know what you need when I see it. You know the program, I don't, I hope some of these help.

Wow, those will keep me busy... I think I won't disturb You now when I have so much homework to do... I also found some gmax tutorials. Be sure when I develope even the smallest airfield on my own you'll be the first to see it...

Your not disturbing us, thanks in advance for promising to show us your first airfield.
Good luck.
