Use this code


material preset_1_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         ambient 2.0 2.0 2.0
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         alpha_rejection greater_equal 250
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_1mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}




also try using GIMP or something other than Sai if the problem still is happening. :)

  When using SAI, you need to erase the white, you can also use the transparent tool.
You'll need to export it as a .png and when the 2 option things come up, click the bottom one.

It's still there, both white blocks. I did as you suggested as well, I think I might have to make them in GIMP. We will see if it works then but any other suggestions are great<3 ;;

Yeah Sai seems to have a lot of problems with presets. Also with how it gets saved with the program.

I also work with GIMP. but PS works too.

I used to have this problem very often, but I now use a different PNG file of the mane I came across while browsing the internet. Would you like me to create a link for you to download this PNG and see if the blocks go away?

That's alright, I'll pass!
I got it to work in GIMP and will have to do with that, thanks for the help everyone anyway.
A staff may lock this.<3
