I've been experimenting with reskinning objects, trying to get something that resembles the Chain Home radar towers that Britain had during the war.

Bearing in mind this is still very WIP, I thought I'd post some pics showing what I've got so far. By reskinning a factory chimney, I've got the transmitter aerials. They need a little cleaning up but I think they're quite effective.








I want to also make the receiver aerials and for that I need 'cross-frames'. I tried reskinning the little radar station object so that only the frame was visible (by adding an alpha channel to most of the texture) and then increasing the height above ground, and that worked when I was close in, but when I zoomed out it changed to a different texture which didn't have an alpha channel, and I thought I had changed the alpha on all appropriate textures.

So, any advice on how to proceed?

Cheers,

Joe
