[Solved] How to paint transparency ?

[raincole]

Sometimes I need transparency on my texture. For example, for hair cards and leaves, having transparency "cut-out" instead of actualy mesh can save a lot of polycount for game assets.

Something like this:

What's the correct way to achieve this in 3DCoat? I found this answer:

But it doesn't work for me. I select eraser, trying to erase on Layer 0, and then 3DCoat automatically jump to another layer.

Hi

You can paint transparency just by erasing on layer 0 or erasing on a layer and hiding layer 0. When you export the transparency map will be in the alpha of the exported Color texture.

Not sure what im doing wrong im just making a jar with a ball in it but I can't get it to be transparent. I know it's something I'm doing wrong. Ive looked at multiple posts seems like it should be a simple thing
