blitting transparent black

I have ben wondering how you render a texture with all of the black (or purple or wutever color it is) as nothing or rather 100% transparent.
just trying to make stuff like a lo poly stuff and that would really help.
thx ger any help guys :smiley:

Take that texture

Make it Black and White

Use a second texture channel and use it as a multiplicative Alpha (rather than Col) texture.
