Common INKs in Director:
  • Copy (0): The default ink; draws the sprite fully opaque, covering what's underneath.
  • Transparent (36): Uses the sprite’s transparency mask to determine which pixels should show through.
  • Matte (8): Similar to Transparent but offers more complex alpha channel blending.
  • Background Transparent (35): The sprite appears over the background but ignores other sprites.
  • Add Pin (33): Adds pixel values together; often used for light/glow effects.
  • Subtract Pin (34): Subtracts pixel values; can create darkening or inverse effects.
