Some Skinning Questions

[Munderbunny]

I've gotten my gf hooked on skinning, but now she has a problem where she can't get the hair to change with her skin. I was wondering if there was a way to change the dye bottle to apply a new hair tex (seems unlikely as different helmets seem to have the hair built into the mesh, but hope prevails). Anyone got any ideas?

I was also wondering if it's possible to reskin those stupid braids and make them translucent? And the dumb wraith armor? I can't get that to equip translucent like it is on wraiths. Am I editing the wrong DBR or something? I changed the mesh ref for the female player to the transparent one, but it just keeps popping on opaque.

I'm sure you've seen it already, but this is the one person I know of who seems to have done a lot of work with hair and such... maybe they can help you out...

the hair could be a big deal because u have to reskin the helmets,too.

u can use alpha channel to hide parts of a creature mesh (for example : tails)

@fathersquid,

I have checked that out. It's very cool. I can already change the hair color, but was more hoping to do so with a bottle, like the skin texture application. It looks like something that's outside of the database files, and thus likely outside of my ability. :/


@codemajor,

I was hoping I could just make the tails semi-transparent like the hair, but it seems using alpha channels I can only make it disappear entirely, or be totally opaque. It's so frustrating.

[codemajor]

actually its possible.
i already used that. i used a brush tool with photoshop for some half alpha ghost textures. it works

[Munderbunny]

I have to use a special texture? I was just applying alpha to the normal hair texture on the default hair. The normal hair gets partial transparency, it was just the braids that weren't.

Any clue what's different about the ghost texture versus the default player hair texture?

[codemajor]

no clue
