Thanks! Seems like 32-bit doesn't clear it either. I'll try later again.

One possible cause could be: You made transparent shadow and then saved it as 24 bit TGA. So transparent pixels became white. Now you'll need to make it transparent again and then save as 32 bit TGA. :wink:

Exactly what I'm doing. Photoshop, wipe away white, save as TGA (32-bit, tried with both with and without RLE compression), close Photoshop, re-open to check, and it's white! :? Can it be my Photoshop version? I'm using CS6 Extended.

Weird. :? I use Paint.NET for most things since is less complex than Photoshop. Now is your 'shadow' part black and the rest white? The rest should be completely transparent, and the 'black' (actual shadow) should be a bit more dark (I make that using layers in paint.net). The term 'opacity' in Paint.NET determines the layer's transparency level.

The darker thing for you is fully black for me, and the full transparent thing is the same.
EDIT: Problem solved! Well, kind of. I reduced the shadow to such a small amount that it wasn't visible. :P And it worked! :D Shot:
Click here to view. I'm testing Google Docs.

Yeah, that's true. But it's better than a white shadow, isn't it?

But you can use shadow texture of some other vehicle instead. :wink:

They have a white texture. Hey thanks! That reminds me, I have to make them transparent. :P ;)

But there's something missing- the shadow! That copper-like golden colour looks good. :) And what is it called (name at selection screen)?
