[Request] Darth Vader's Chain

[Effacer]

One thing that really bugs me about Toshi's Vader (or any of its reskins) is the capechain. I understand it's pretty much a microscopic issue, but it's just a 2d mesh with the chain textured on. I'd be fine with that, were it not for the fact that the holes inbetween the chains are either filled with white or black ingame. I opened the .png and carefully removed as many specks of interfering color as I felt was reasonable and tried it out again ingame; unfortunately I'd wasted my time, as nothing changed. I'm hoping someone else might be willing to figure out a solution, whether they do it via textures or even modeling a new chain onto the model. I know @@dark_apprentice has a Rogue One Vader model laying around with a modeled-on chain, but the texture for it is missing and I'm not sure I'd be able to affix it to Toshi's Vader properly anyway.

 

Thanks

The issue here is a missing shader. There should be a shader somewhere that makes it so that the chain has transparency.

This is the whole shader for Toshi's Vader.

Yes, I've noticed this--this shader file offers nothing in the way of transparency, it was an ingame issue on his model as well.

 

UPDATE: I tried pasting my custom shader code over Toshi's for the cape, and it worked. I thought I needed the "cull two-sided" for the cape to be visible on both ends, but apparently I don't, and now I've established transparency in the holes.

Thank you for this. I've figured out that my Lando model doesn't have transparent chain too
