i'm trying to make one of my items slightly transparent...is this done by editing the mesh itself or the texture...? does anyone have a link to a tutorial of how to do this or can anyone explain how its done? your help is greatly appreciated

Done by adding an alpha property linked to the mesh you want transparent, and then changing the alpha layer of the texture to be darker in those areas you want to see through. Remember to save as DXT3.

Keep in mind, if you have one transparent part in front of another transparent part, the part that is behind will become 100% transparent. So in the case of multiple layers of tinted windows lined up, only the one in the front will get shown, regardless of what is on the ones behind. Meaning that even if you have opaque parts on the ones behind, since the mesh has an alpha property, that mesh will get hidden.
