Hello,Is there a way to get lights (defined in the .eng file) shine through alpha channel transparency? (AlphaNorm)It was no problem with TransNorm materials, but I would like the lights to to be seen through shaded windows.
Thanks a lot for your help, it's really urgent if you want to get something good this week Greetings,

I tried unsuccessfully to do this. Do the lights need to be able to turn on and off? If not, you can make a fullbright light plane where you need it. I ended up doing this, because it wasn't critical that they be switched, although it would have been nice.

I seem to remember that Edouard had to actually cut holes in the front end of his TGV to get the lights to shine through .. I saw this here ....

sorry if the french gives you trouble.... the 07/11/02 picture shows the holes he cut 'Théo me signale que les éclairages des feux ne traversent pas les alpha's'
Trans ' the lights don't shine through alpha's '
Not a help exactly ... but you are not alone. jv
