Have a look in the samples folder - there's a tree there. (made from two rectangles and textured with a transparent gif)

i think they do, somebody sent me a model with tga skins and it worked. do you just have to format the pictures that way, in gifs and all? or do you need to cut the chunks out of the tree's, to make them see through?

To see through the textures you need to assign an alpha channel to the texture. Then the background color of the texture will be transparent.
It takes a little practice, but is pretty easy. |

If all you have is MS Paint then try downloading Gimp. It is a free program that does close to the same as Photoshop. It will allow for the addition of alpha channels.
