Blue outline around imported image
by Shaz · in Torque Game Builder · 08/19/2008 (11:48 pm) · 4 replies
I've just finished importing a heap of artwork for my game and ONE single image map has a blue border. It's definitely not there on the source image. I've deleted and reimported several times, and each time I get a blue border.
It's the same size as several other images, and I initially imported it as part of a group of 3 - the other two images came in perfectly.
Any ideas?

er - background colour in the transparent area? It's transparent, so there's no colour. Unless I'm misunderstanding you. I'm sure my artist would have made the whole series of frames the same way, but it's just this one out of all of them that shows a blue outline. When I look at it in any other editing/viewing program, there's no blue outline. Just in TGB.

If you could post your image here I'd be happy to take a look at it and see if I can find the problem.

Areas of an image which have black alpha still have RGB information in them. This isn't visible in most image viewer programs. To view it in Photoshop you'll need the SuperPNG plugin - make sure your artist is using this:http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Editing_Beginner/Tools/SuperPNG

Loaded it up in Gimp (I know my limitations - Photoshop would be wasted on me) and I could see it too. I've removed it now - let's hope it stays removed!
Thanks so much for your advice and offer to help though. I really appreciate it!

Very weird. I was about to load it up for you, and when I searched for it I could clearly see the blue outline in the thumbnail.Loaded it up in Gimp (I know my limitations - Photoshop would be wasted on me) and I could see it too. I've removed it now - let's hope it stays removed!

If you're using a png make sure the background color (in the transparent area) isn't blue.
