I am a complete beginner in blender so this might sound very trivial.
I am trying to make a Flappy Bird Clone and I am using the “Import Images as Planes” Method to create a Plane with the Bird as a texture. I then enable to use Alpha everywhere so it’s transparent (the inital png file is transparent too).
After that I export it as a OBJ File, and I am reading in the VAO’S from the obj file to render it onto a Display. However in the end it looks like this:
I thought enabling the Alpha will make it transparent, instead I got these black square with the texture on top. How can I remove the black square or make it transparent/invisible ?
I appreciate every help.
In the material settings ensure you have enabled Transparency.
Please always supply a demo blend file (with your texture packed in the blend file) for support questions as the screenshot supplied is insufficient
Here is the blend file cause that is all I changed in the blend you posted and it worked fine on my end. See if you have the same issue with it. Also have you also tried reselecting the flappy bird image in the node cause it sometimes resets to a black image.
I know it “works” inside Blender. The Image is transparent and you can put it in front of backgrounds etc. but when I render it in eclipse using OpenGL and with an Obj loader, I can still see the black box like it shows in my screenshot. The background you see is a seperate Display I create, it is not inside blender !
In the meanwhile I found a different method to do it correctly like I wanted. I used svg files and then Unwrapped the svg object using “Project from View” and then I put the texture on it which achieves the same as importing the image as a plane and making it transparent.
