I am currently making a map right now, and i want to overlap a polygon with another one so i can make the shading much neater for certain areas, and i wanted to know if there was any way to make it so the the polygons are transparent (the ones i am creating to overlap the main polygon, the one not shaded) and so therefore can only be used for shading? (using polyworks i might add)

thanks,

Try to explain it a little bit better, it's a tad hard to understand.
There's no way of making transparent polygons, but if it helps, you can change the order they appear in with polyworks by moving them up up a level or down a level.
With a clearer description I can probably help you better.

Here i made a screen shot of the map i have so far (first map btw hope it comes out well, im going for a ctf_Ash kind of layout but bigger), and i drew what im trying to do.: [IMAGE]

How will making it transparent make it so you can change the lighting?

the whole map was started in a darker, more shaded white, i didnt start the map with white polygons, so if i were to take the polygon vertical color changer, set it to fully white, it would make the verticles i choose lighter, therefore solving my problem. But, since i have a mutli textured texture, i used the duplicate command to make alot of what you saw there.

You can change the color of the polygons after you've made them...I think I'm just not understanding well...Need sleep :P

Yes, thats what you would usually do, but i made most of the polygons square shaped, look at the picture, then look at the verticle lines. If i try to change the color of them verticles it will look sloppy. And i just cant make poly's over the square looking ones because of the multi textured texture im using. What i may need to do is make smaller polygons individually like i did with the bigger square ones (ive been looking at the full texture in a 32 by 4 (with grid on) section, then working off that to make poly's of which colors i want)

This may sound really confusing but somone who uses polyworks alot might understand this like i do.

Solution: Lay out your polygons better.

I think there is also a command that lets you split verticles, if i use that i might be able to get some better shading done. Ill play with it and show you a be4 and after picture of what u saw in my recent post.
