Missing appendage for preset?

[amber501]

So one of my characters recently got her ear torn off and I was wondering if it's possible to get rid of her left ear on the preset? I've seen a character with a very cool and realistic bullet hole through his ear, but is there any way to completely get rid of one and just leave a scar behind? Would I just get rid of any coloring and textures where the ears are located for preset_headL file, save it as a png so nothing shows up then edit the coding?

Apologies if this question was already asked and thank you for any answers!

Yes, you would erase the ear from the texture and make sure transparency is on and it is .png.
You can do this by utilizing the transparency code~ You can find a tutorial on how to code transparency into your preset here. If you want to take a look and familiarize yourself with the Ogre Materials, take a peek at OGRE: Material Scripts. You can also experiment to make your own specialized effects.
