I understand that the only way to place animated texture on a model in DBpro is using an AVI file. As far as I know, AVI file does not contain any alpha information.

How do I create animated texture with alpha channel?

Thanks!

... the only way to place an *automatic* animated texture ...

Why not switch between the difference frames of animation yourself? Just load your animated images (with alpha) into a set of sequential images and change the one you use on your object every frame or two.

Hmmm... that's the only way I can think of.

Can I put all the animated frames in a single image file, like how animated sprite works. I don't think so, eh? I guess I have save my animation into a series of image files, i.e. text001.tga, text002.tga, ... Hmm... looks quite messy to me.
