.gif files

Support Materials and Textures
1

I was creating a menu for a game, and for the text parts, I wanted a transparent background round the text. I learned that you have to import it as a .gif UV texture, or else the transparency would not appear. I tried this, but Blender would not support the .gif file type.

.png files can handle transparency. With the colour depth limitation of gifs anyway .pngs would be better.

OK thanks, I’ll try that.
