BlazE Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Hi there, i once had great help with a skin from here beforeand i'd like to request help again this time im trying to edit a chewbacca skin which has .png format textures and transparent partsso after i edit these textures, the transparent parts start appearing in game just like in modview making the skin ugly with and without those parts: http://imageshack.us/a/img823/7997/screenhf.pnghttp://imageshack.us/a/img543/7197/screen2td.png any idea how to fix it?
minilogoguy18 Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 If you're using the .png format the easiest way I know is to NOT have a background layer, use the magic wand tool, select the areas you want transparent and use the background eraser tool and it will show a white/gray checker pattern in photoshop for the transparent parts. Rather than collapsing everything down into a background layer keep everything in a normal unlocked layer and delete the background, if everything is a background layer then just copy it to a new layer and delete the background layer then do what I said in the beginning of this post. All this assuming you are using photoshop.
mrwonko Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Sounds like the program you're using to edit the textures doesn't support transparency, effectively removing it. Or you made a mistake somewhere.
CaptainChar Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 its a PNG with alpha layer, i Use these for alot of my fence and gate textures, my suggestion, photoshop
minilogoguy18 Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 ^He can use GIMP, it's free and will do the job I just don't know anything about it so not sure how to acheive a similar effect to what I described using GIMP.
eezstreet Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 You have to manually add alpha channels to the image using GIMP, which is one of the many reasons I hate using it.
MUG Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 It could also be a shader issue if you have changed the model path or the texture path. Be sure to find/modify the chewbacca textures. therfiles likes this
Ruxith Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Sounds like a shader issue to me Blaze. I can help you out on xfire if I catch you before you fix it
BlazE Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 yep thx, thats it gonna be, the shaders menaged to do an edit without the ugly parts https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75241903/jamp-20121217-195745.png
