PNG imported with transparency issue

Hi,

I imported a .png which is a square border with transparent center.
The texture that is seen in the content viewer thumbnail is a solid color.
when I edit the texture it appears normal, square border, transparent center.
If I try and make a material out of it, it is just the solid color of the border.

Why wont this work?

Hi,
If you double click your texture you can change the Texture Group. For example UI then you should have the correct preview in the content viewer.
Regarding the Material make sure the material is on masked or translucent.

Thanks you CorsairOfLight and lkav.
Masked and Unlit for the texture was what was needed.
Orthographic is so strange.

Make sure your material is set to translucent or masked depending on the look you’re after, and have your .png alpha channel hooked up accordingly. Let me know if you still have the same problem.
