Alright, so when I tried to figure out how to do transparency, what with all the codes it's surely confusing so here I'm going to show you how to do it, the easy way.
First, we are going to need the preset, so open up some form of phot editing software, either photoshop or Gimp works well (I use Gimp). I usually use preset 1 as a base, so I know where to draw so open that up in gimp (Put the referance on top if you need them) so you should have this
For the transparency to work you
MUST have an alpha channel, otherwise it will not work. To do this, right click anywhere on gimp, you have to scroll over, layers, then transparency and then click on 'Add alpha channel' As so:
Once you have your alpha channel your set to go, so change your tool to the rubber and literally rub out the parts of the preset you want to be transparent. When you rub out, if the bit turns white then back up! That means you haven't got an alpha channel and it WON'T WORK. When you rub out you should see the grey/checkered background, meaning it's transparent. Also, your preset must be saved as a PNG not a jpeg,like so:
Right so now you have your preset (Obviously you should put some colours on yours x3) but now we need to sort out the codes, this is the part where most people mess up so pay attention! It's not as hard as it looks. You need to go into your feralheart folder and into 'My_presets' you then need to find the file you saved your preset in, so in this case I saved it in preset_9. SO open that folder and you should see a file saying 'Preset_9.material' (Obviously the number will be different depending on what folder you chose
), you need to open that up in notepad. Go to the bit that says 'material preset_9_bodyMatL' now this bit is hard to explain so follow the instructions on the pic. :3
Once you have done both the preset and the codes, if you have done them correctly, go into feralheart but when it comes on, go on preset maker, then click what number preset you chose and voila! You should have transparent bits on your preset
Sorry if it's a bit confusing, but comment below if you're confused by a certain bit or stuck or just cause you feel like it :3 Hope it works for y'all!
Genny~
