What is best way to make semi transparent 3-d object? I had in mind a white object that you can see through.
Here, I have it started.., but how do I finish it?

MAKE OBJECT PLAIN 6,100,100

COLOR OBJECT 6, RGB(255,255,255)

Is it necessary to use gimp? And if it is, where do I get a copy of gimp?

Man is a figment of God's imagination.

The former giving 1-100 control value

Another way would be to apply a texture with an alpha channel, and use set object transparency obj, 2 on the object. You may have to also use disable object zwrite so objects behind it are drawn anyway.

"ojbect" It's less amusing when you do that in code and don't notice.
