First ?: How do I set up a terrain texture that uses alpha mod brushes to blend from a fully visible texture to a invisible texture(empty)?

It sounds like you can use that to add a brush to an entity, but I'm not sure if that's what it does and if it does, how exactly does it work? _________________ Get mods & maps at Engines of Creation

Note: As with every multi-staged shader, each additional stage multiplies an extra rendering pass. _________________ GtkRadiant | Q3Map2 | Shader Manual
