Do they get exported to the DAE?
when the fixed alpha is shown via edit mesh, not at all.. if it was in vertex paint, then yes it would be exported into the DAE.

Hm, can you send me the .max scene? I only have version 2010 and 2014 of 3ds max. I can try to write a script to transfer the alpha to the vertex paint modifier.

Sure, is the vertex alpha seperate from the vertex colors? Or are they on a different map?

Alpha is a separate channel in 3ds Max. Vertex colors are in 0 and alpha is -2.
They are using the same texcoord indices from BMD, but somehow vertex colors are assigned and displayed correctly. Perhaps, I'm missing something important in the script.

Perhaps you can, but you'll have to look for a different software. I think Super Mario Galaxy 2.5 devs knew more about this.

Do what he says in post #5, that should make it work for you.
