hmm i'm not sure what you're talking about

but an alpha channel is usually just a 4th channel in something like a targa file. you can put anything you want in there as long as its grayscale.

however trying to put a sequence of images into a single image's alpha will not work.

if you're talking about using alpha channel in max then by all means use it, its a way to trim off texture space in real time and most vid cards are optimized to ues it for something like opacity in a texture.
