Hi Data,

I don't think you can have a constant transparancy if you make the texture
like that. I suggest you remove the "backing" and only use one layer - a so
called patterned texture.. A patterned texture, is simply a pattern, that
decides which textures to use.. Use a simple pattern, for example the famous
"checker".. A black/white checker scaled the same size as your image_map,
and let the white be a reference to your "backing" texture, and the black a
reference to your image_map texture..

I suggest you read in the docs about patterned textures, if you're confused.
:o)  But this way you can make the whole thing transparant.. Actually you
can have 2 fully independant textures.

Regards,
Hugo
