Unit Maker
Has anyone figured out how to make parts of a unit transparent? I'm making a couple more modern aircraft with huge cockpits, and would like to have a pilot visible instead of the standard bluish color for the glass. Anybody?

You need to do it with the texture. I use Paint Shop Pro and that's how I do it: I select the part that will be visible and save this selection to alpha chanel (white will be visible). I don't know what programe you use but it should have this option.
Then in 3dsmax I put this texture to diffuse slot of the material and in the Bitmap Parameters:Alpha Source I choose Image Alpha.
You won't see it in viewport. Render it or export to .nif and open with SceneViewer to see if it worked.
