just grass texture on a plane

So if you go to user preferences and select image to planes you can import an image to a plane. But if you want to use a grass texture you made in a gimp or another program that has that grey and dark grey checkered background it just shows the grass and white. How do you import it so only the grass shows?

You mean a texture with a alpha channel?

You have to ensure the image is saved as an Alpha map.
This can be activated in the Textures panel, after the texture has been applied. Check the Alpha option under the Color check. Where people frequently go wrong is in lowering the Alpha option, which will only affect how much Alpha is influencing the texture.
Instead, go to the Materials tab, and select the Transparency option. Set Transparency to 0.

Thanks all :slight_smile:
