Alpha Transparency in AtomicFE or any other Front End

Sorry that was your example.  Here's mine  :dizzy:

Got one response so far:

--- Quote ---Hi AllisterFiend,

At the moment, the masks in AtomicFE are binary. So you can have your layer seen or not seen depending on the mask (if you want a hole in it for example).
Now, what you can also do is to apply a transparency to a layer, but it will be the same transparency for the whole layer. Maybe you can apply a mask to it too, I don't now that exactly.
Now, maybe this will be a new feature in version 18, I did not have any time to give a try to the beta Youki sent me yet, but he is aware of that point and this might be implemented one day or another.
The best thing to wait I think is to wait until he comes back next week so he can tell you exactly about that.
You can try the general alpha + mask first, it might give a first glimpse at your work.

Hope this helps

bye

Looks like it may not be able to do quite what you are looking for, but I have seen a sample layout in the new 18 version, and it is wicked cool. Hopefully we can get an answer in a week or so...

AllisterFiend:
Thanks for the compliments!

After you install ImageMagick put your snaps in the snap folder and run the runme.bat file.

It might work out for you, not sure

Works great HeadKaze, If I can not get the glass to look good using Alpha Transparency, I will use your program to convert my snaps.

I will definitely share once I am done, but it is still very much a work in progress, and I am in the process of redoing it (the orbs stay in),  currently it is way to busy and I plan on making it much more simplistic with less characters from the game and a uniform background so it will be easier on the eyes.  I have a second monitor on top of my cabinet and I will need another background eventually, so I will probably use some of the characters left over on the second monitor.

I unfortunately am not good with layouts on Atomic yet, but I'll forward this on to the guys that are and see if we can get an answer for you. Also, the layouts are even more capable in version 18, which Youki will be making available once he returns from vacation in a week.

Is there any chance of getting a hold of version .18, or is it in a closed beta?

Out of respect for the developer, I will let him distribute the new version. I hope you understand. Don't worry though, he'll be back within a week so that's not too bad...

I'll also keep you posted if I get any more information.
