Transparent preset?
« on: July 02, 2017, 07:11:35 pm »
Hello!
I'm making a preset and I don't want it to have ears. Problem is is that I don't know how to do transparency.
I use GIMP for making my presets.

Thank you,
Ashyak

You can use this one, it's much easier to understand!:

Thank you!!!
But I have another problem- why does this appear?



This is my preset head. What am I missing?

Little tiny snippets of the UV sometimes overlap.  Try putting a thread of rainbow colours around the edge of the head and see where they appear, then you know where to shave it slightly.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

To know exactly where those snippets are, try placing the UV lines (found in "my presets" folder, under "reference") onto your preset colors (on another layer, of course); the lines will help you find exactly where you need to erase

I did and overlayed it on the preset and the black lines are still showing. I've actually erased a little too much of the gums trying to find it. :/

Have you swapped the ears to a different type of ear?  Sometimes they don't overlap as much on a different ear model.
