Transparent Preset Tutorial

[Bloodhunter1998]

I really need help with this one because i wanted to do some Ginga Characters like Benizakura (he lost two ears) but everytime im putting the code in i didn't get the broken ears

[D-ead7Dog]

Transparent code I use:
Head/face code only!

Code: [Select]

material preset_1_headMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
texture_unit
{
texture preset_1head.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_1_headMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
texture_unit
{
texture preset_1head.png
}
}
}
}
Just replace the head material code you have now with this one above.
Make sure the files are png [also save the ears or parts you want transparent for last] and then merge all the layers so they are one whole layer and erase the parts you want transparent.

It will save you A LOT of time and misery.

you can even check out these helpful thread here, and here! There are plenty of others but these are the other threads I found most helpful if my little super quick tutorial didn't do it for you.

Hope it helps!


EDIT:
As the person said below, yes. Alpha Channel is the key too! [thanks for the reminder!]
The way to get it to Alpha Channel [After merging it all into one whole layer]
 Right click on the layer
Fifth option from the bottom up "Add Alpha Channel".
Click that and there you go. You're good to go and erase your little heart out!

I think that PKf7 explained well what t'do, but I'd like to add a small somethin'.

Make sure that whatever program yer using has Alpha Channel turned on. This allows the .png to have transparency, rather than white/bg color when ye use the eraser.
