Alpha textures in 2.5?

How do I make the black transparent? It’s a transparent PNG image mapped to a object, and in render it still shows up as black.

Thanks

now i think you need to calculate it but not certain where it is in 2.5!

happy 2.5

In the Material tab, tick “Transparency” and put Alpha from default 1 to 0

In the Texture tab, scroll down to “Influence” and tick “Alpha” :

And you should have the render displaying the transparency on your texture
