Modeling and translucent textures... ??

Does anyone know if it's possible to use translucent textures on part of a mesh?

Say this was a weapon model and I want some part of the model to be translucent.

In the 3DS2UNR documentation they say to set the material name to TRANSLUCENT... no, that doesn't work.

I've edited my texture and set transparent to true... Nadda, doesn't work either.

I've even combined the two above methods... Still renders solid.

The only thing that works is to set the Style to STY_Translucent for the mesh. Of course, this is no good because it makes the whole model translucent.

Any ideas?

Hmm, I'm not sure how to set the Style for a "group" within an imported model.

I have grouped the faces and named their material TRANSLUCENT. So I have two seperate materials applied to my object. One is called TRANSLUCENT and the other is called material_1 (or whatever). The translucent material is only applied to a few faces in the object, the rest of the faces get the normal material.

So I import the model into UT as follows (paraphrased):

#exec MESH IMPORT MESH=testmodel ANIVFILE=MODELS\testmodel_a.3d DATAFILE=MODELS\testmodel_d.3d X=0 Y=0 Z=0
<..snip..>
#exec MESHMAP SETTEXTURE MESHMAP=testmodel NUM=1 TEXTURE=Skins.TestModelsSkin
#exec MESHMAP SETTEXTURE MESHMAP=testmodel NUM=2 TEXTURE=Effects.ClearGlass

The ClearGlass texture colors the proper faces but it's just not translucent. The ClearGlass texture has transparent set to true in its texture properties.

The only Style setting I know of would be for this whole object. I don't know how to set the Style for just one of the imported texture groups...

defaultproperties
{
Style=STY_Translucent
}
