Resize the alpha channel? – image 1

LAST EDITED ON Oct-16-04 AT 10:57 AM (EDT)

I am working on repainting the default route USA1 Philadelphia police van to a NS railroad police van. The original .ace file is 256x256. I resized the .ace file to 512x512 to make it easier to work with. The file also has an alpha channel. Did I need to resize the alpha channel to 512x512 also? I saved the file as .ace with alpha channel when the .ace was 512x512, but without changing the alpha channel size. The repaint looked good at the time but the model now looks like this. Thanks for your advice.Mark

Yes, because the alpha channel is like a overlay for msts to know where to make clear. (I think)-Dave
