Title: Preset mane problem :c
Post by: dani on December 21, 2016, 02:34:37 am: ello, i'm making a preset and i wanted the mane to be white! but for some reason the tufts got black outlines, this is not how i want the preset to look .w.

the png file looks like this (i added red below so you can see it is transparent)

If this doesn't work, I'm sorry, I'm not a professional.

Post by: Morgra on December 21, 2016, 03:17:59 am: The reason for this is due to the alpha in the mane's coding being on some type of blend mode that doesn't mask properly. I don't really know how to word it better but here is a code for fixing that:
Code: [Select]
material preset_#_maneMat { technique { pass { cull_hardware none cull_software none alpha_rejection greater_equal 128 texture_unit { texture preset_#mane.png } } } }
Replace your current mane's code section with this one and it should mask out properly. Make sure to replace the #'s with the preset folder number etc

Try this! :)

And change the material file code for the mane to:
Quote
material preset_1_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         ambient 2.0 2.0 2.0
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         alpha_rejection greater_equal 250
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_1mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}

Or, I would suggest using this! (http://northernred.deviantart.com/art/FeralHeart-MANE-tricks-tutorial-Canine-part-514907588)and this! (http://northernred.deviantart.com/art/FeralHeart-MANE-tricks-tutorial-Enjoy-513002348)

It's just easier to erase that area and it makes presets look much smoother!
