Hello everybody. Please help: I have a tga sequence with alpha and I want to use that alpha to drive the opacity value of a shadow matte material. I only find a texture node to put my file in and it doesn't have an alpha output.

thanks in advance

I dont think this question is for Technical Discussion topic :!: Maybe you should look at documentation first?

What you need is vector4(RGBA) type output from texture VOP.

I understand this is very basic. thank you very much anyways.
