I'm looking for the iridescent texture, you know, the transparent one but with just a bit of color so Lara can see that there is a climbable block in the middle of the wide gap she wants to cross... I saw it in Devil's Lair and of course, in TR3...
Anybody can tell me where to get it?

Thanx

JB

what was the name of the level of TR3 that had that "vague" block?
I'll have a look then...

JBC21...... there is no specific texture.... its all a matter of lighting the block properly to achieve the desired effect.

Thanks for your answers.

First, I don't remember which level in TR3 but it was in a room with stone dragons on each side of a deep gap. The dragon were spitting steam, thus revealing invisible blocks to help Lara cross the gap. (it also appeared at some point to reach a secret...)
I tried this steam trick using a block textured with the transparent texture. But neither steam or any kind of lighting would reveal it... So I suppose that there is either a specific texture or an animating or something... Am I wrong?

You mean "Temple Ruins" level? To get across it a lighted a flare. I think a normal texture was used and made transparent.
