Is there a way that I could make a multi-layer preset? So that the entire body is one color but see through and then the markings that are even more see through or less see through? I tried doing with the current codes I have and used it for this:

: but only the top layer will so and the lighter blue is only seen directly around the edges of the markings :/

I'm pretty sure you can make a "see-through" preset, granted you can paint the picture right.
And what do you mean by see through; as invisible or just different opacities, like a ghost, for example? The parts that are colored blue can't be see through or invisible if it's colored in, though you can experiment with different opacities to see what kinds of effects you can make.
Ahh, I can't tell you how to draw or make a preset. xD
Maybe try starting with a transparent file. Then you can set different opacities on your brushes to paint your preset so it can get all kinds of "see-through" and "less see-through" effects ^^
Hope this helps.

Yeah, this is possible. But, you need to separate the markings and body into two images. After you do that, feel free to PM me and I can help with the material codes.

the one shown here was orinaly two layered, the main blue on the base layer and the markings on top. To get what Id want these would need to be two seperate saved files? This codes I have work perfect for transpart presets like the one I did here ----> http://zarinthya.deviantart.com/#/d4bo945 (http://zarinthya.deviantart.com/#/d4bo945) but the effect id really like is to have the markings seen more that the actuall body but that you CAN see the body, it is just very see through.... like a silloeute. :/ im not sure if this is making any since to you or not....

Yes, you'd need to save them into two different files.
Then you'd need a code like this:
material preset_1_bodyMatL
{
receive_shadows on
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture BODYIMAGEHERE.png
scale 1 1
}
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
texture_unit
{
texture MARKINGIMAGEHERE.png
colour_op alpha_blend
}
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
texture_unit
{
texture MARKINGIMAGEHERE(AGAIN).png
colour_op_ex blend_current_alpha src_texture src_current
tex_address_mode wrap
filtering trilinear
}
}
}
}(If you use it, you'll need to edit some things.)
The "alpha_rejection greater_equal 128" should give it the see-through look.
To make something more or less see-through with this, change the opacity when you paint the markings or body layer.

^^ thank you very much I will give it a try!
