Dragon Preset Help.

[Kieva]

Well, I'm doing a preset, that has no front arms. I saw on DA, how TrystanDragon's ( http://trystandragon.deviantart.com/art/zombie-dragon-preset-309251031?q=favby%3Akieva%2F6159047&qo=6 ) preset showed no holes where the arms were, and I was wondering how I could make the holes fill in?




Also, how do I rid of the see-through body part? I still want the wings transparent, but preferably not the body!



Help please? c:

The zombie dragon picture shows no bottom picture of the legs. It must be like your picture, only its wings cover its messy legs.
Though I could be wrong. The colors of the zombie dragon on the inside, too, might be hiding it, too.
So I'm not sure, but maybe, just maybe, you can make a tiny bit less transparency to fix it.
Or not, truly. There is a difference of colors in both pictures.
I have been wondering this myself, and apparently made an awkward ghost preset.
Hope this helped~

EDIT: Also, I am not sure about the wings, sadly... Awkward, huh?

The holes, as said, cannot be fixed, that's an issue with the mesh, not your texturing.
As for the wings,
what code are you using?

Thank you Hugrf, for telling me this! Maybe one day, one day, they'll add new animal bodies. xP

xRubyx.... This is really odd but I just saw your thread on K.I.T.O., and thought, hey, I want to say that what you're doing is awesome... But I wasn't logged in and felt too lazy to do such. Somewhat odd, how 5 minutes or less later you pop in! Anyways, I downloaded the zombie dragon preset and used their boding... Herp.

Oh, that is funny. xD Thank you.?
Here, try this code,

Code: [Select]

material preset_12_equipMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
depth_check on
depth_write off
scene_blend alpha_blend
texture_unit
{
texture DragonWings.png
}
}
}
}
Edit;
"ambient 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
diffuse 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
specular 0.050000 0.050000 0.050000 1.000000 12.500000
emissive 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000"
^ all these values equal, basically, zero. So they can all be taken out.
I'm not even sure why they used it, probably got it from the TRANSPARENCY CODE FOR YOU thread, which has these lines in there, even though they don't really effect anything.
The only line you need to make solid transparency is
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128, but since you need semi-transparency, the one above should work.
Just letting you know that's why I didn't include them. c:

Well, I wanted the transparency, but only on the wings and body, But only the body so the front legs would not show, and as for the wings, they are see through, but when they're folded you can see through the whole body, which is what I don't want. Although, thank you for the information on what coding I do not need!

[Ruby1234]

Yes, the body code is fine, but for the wings, what I gave above was the see-through code, which I did test, and it does work, as far as making it see-through without affecting the body. You just need to make sure your image is a .png and has lower opacity than 100% in the places you want to be see-through. c:

Oops! I forgot to put
depth_check on
         depth_write off
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         texture_unit
xD That's why it didn't work! Thank you very much for the help! <3

Not a problem.?
Lemme know if you run into any problems. c:
