Ok so I finally made my first preset, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the mane.

I searched but couldn't find anything on this particular problem.

It shows up and everything, but it's transparent in some spots at certain angles making it look weird and disappears completely when under water.

You can see the difference in the preset and reg manes, how the preset doesn't look right with some places showing through others.
Here's some screenshots:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :3

Stalking this thread.  I have a preset, does the same thing. (I think, I haven't tested it underwater)

Also... I saw Sully say a second pass made the glow-ness go away... So maybe if you copy the preset mane code twice?  /just an idea.
...In my pants.

Well at least we're not alone x3
Hopefully someone will know what to do. :P


EDIT: Hmm second pass? Where'd you see that Kamaete?
/doesn't have a clue with coding >.<

And it can glow like a dam neon sign I just want the weird transparent parts gone XD

It's your textures fault I think xD I'll post a texture that doesn't do that soon. PM me with your current mane texture?

Ok Rak, give me a min I gotta get it off my other comp.

You're meaning the actual texture I drew, right? Not the 'texture' overlay?

On the contrary, there is a fix.
Mane fix:
Code: [Select]
material preset_10_maneMat
{
        technique
        {
                pass
                {
                       cull_hardware none
                       cull_software none
                       alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
                       texture_unit
                       {
                                texture preset_10mane.png
                }
          }
     }
}
But I made this in the preset_10 folder, so you may have to change it.
