Preset mane problem :c
« on: December 21, 2016, 02:34:37 am »
ello, i'm making a preset and i wanted the mane to be white! but for some reason the tufts got black outlines, this is not how i want the preset to look .w.



the png file looks like this (i added red below so you can see it is transparent)



is there any way to fix this? or no matter what i do it will always look like that? ;n;

I'm not a pro with presets, But I think you have to make the whole mane PNG file the colour you want it to be.

If this doesn't work, I'm sorry, I'm not a professional.

The reason for this is due to the alpha in the mane's coding being on some type of blend mode that doesn't mask properly. I don't really know how to word it better but here is a code for fixing that:
Code: [Select]
material preset_#_maneMat
{
        technique
        {
                pass
                {
                        cull_hardware none
                        cull_software none
                        alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
                        texture_unit
                        {
                                texture preset_#mane.png
                        }
                }
        }
}

Replace your current mane's code section with this one and it should mask out properly. Make sure to replace the #'s with the preset folder number etc

I'll send you a file for it to make it easier for you. Hold on.

Try this! :)



And change the material file code for the mane to:
Quote
material preset_1_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         ambient 2.0 2.0 2.0
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         alpha_rejection greater_equal 250
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_1mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}

Or, I would suggest using this!and this!

It's just easier to erase that area and it makes presets look much smoother!

Seeing as the issue appears to have been fixed, I will go ahead and lock this for you. I hope the preset turns out well.

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.
