Hi!
My problem is that *.png texture with alpha didnt work in TGE.

Doesn't looks realistic, but I hope it'll be enough ;]

This transparency was tolerable in that chain, but when i made a palm and the leafs with alpha it looks terrible.

You almost solve my problem. The trunk is now good displayed, but the leafs always looks strange. The leaf behind another covers leafs whitch are closer camera(me). I tried to separate all leafs apart, but it didn't help. I tried also to connect all leafs in one mesh, but it also didn't solve my problem.

In my game the camera will be always close to player, so i made my leafs to be good seen when i'm under them. But when I will do some panoramic screens/movies, then it'll be looking strange again. This problem is only in Blender, or simply in all TGE?

The basic way to resolve this is
1. make a jpg of the non transparent textures to save memory, make a new material and map all your non transparent object to that (the poles, the cauldron etc)
2. and just make a 32 bit png of the link - your format is correct as it is, just make it for the chain link and apply a new material just to that.
Transparency works in Torque by making the original material at least 0.1% transparent. Do that in Blender then export. I don't know Blender but I will use your object and try do what I'm saying to make sure.
Anyone else know the exact buttons to press? Any let me know if this helps, otherwise I will try and fix it for you.
