Simple Mod using Texture Transparency
By tomk1
In depth guide using texture transparency to alter furniture (simple).
This is not hard to use this invaluable trick to simply change furniture.
I spent hours in this game? and only learnt of it. Why transparent texture isn't default in the game?
I will show how to create and implement, then few examples of use.

About
As no workshop and cannot mod the game, this is a way to change/modify some of the furniture to better suit you requirements.
1. Create a blank transparent texture
Open your image editor, I use default Paint 3D in windows.
Select New.

resize Canvas to 600px by 600px
Set transparent Canvas ON

Select Menu -> Save As -> Image -> name Transparent -> Save.
(default is in Pictures)
Here is Transparent image:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Close Paint 3D no need to save project.
2. Import 'Transparent' texture into Home Design 3D
Open Home Design 3D
Select 3D
Select Textures -> Imported Textures

Select Import.

Open location of 'Transparent'
(default is in Pictures)
3 Using on Garage shelving unit.
Select Objects -> Garage and Workshop -> Select Metal Shelves.

Before

Select Textures -> Imported Textures -> Transparent & drag onto those horrible wooden boxes.
Delete Objects on metal shelving.

Populate with new objects.

Using in real world (don't use microwave just for show)
4 Using experimentation.

  • Why not add transparent texture?
  • Could you add temp/semi-transparency so can see trough a door or obstructing object
  • First word.. give me a V, second word.. give me a R .. Gooooo VR. pay $£€ for dlc add on
  • can you add ability to import two or more projects into one.
Thank you for creating Home-Design3D
