All,Looking at the default tunnel portal textures for some idea's to texture my own, I noticed that they have an alpha channel, and it's just a small rectangle. Does anyone know why it's located there? I thought that the tunnel mouth would have the alpha channel.Thanks,
David.

A guess would be that not all of the portal is intended to be visible. Those sections that aren't, probably map to the area you indicated in your pic.Cheers!

Probably a glitch or something not intended. There is no alpha texture needed as the shape would already have the arch entrance and the texture is intended to be mapped in front of it.SRV Ron

you could always ditch the alpha channel and see what appears...

Thanks guys. I thought about removing the alpha channel an hour or so after posting this It does not appear to have any affect on the texturing.Cheers,
