If I want to add a muzzle flash to a plain on my gun, it textures it messed up and when I export it, it is still messed up. How could I get alpha transparency on my models in 3ds max?

In 3ds Max you have to define a alpha map and assign a texture to it in the material editor. Last time I've used max it did not support exporting x models, you always needed a 3rd party plugin to export. Even then, it might export the main texture file used on the model, but it will not export any native max properties; alpha, shine, bump, etc.

In DBP, the easiest way is to use a texture with an alpha channel, like a png file. Then you need to set the alpha properties of the object.

Example:


hope this helps
