[Solved]Transparent Player Skins?

[Munderbunny]

I've been searching for transparent player skins, but can't find anything. We have all the skins in the allskins mod, but the only one that's transparent at all is the spectre one, and that's just invisible. I assume all of these skins were made a long time ago before we could have an alpha-enabled player models. Have no skins been made since? I need an example for reverse engineering!

No transparent skin, only the rogue meanads are.

Maybe I just don't get the point, but why don't you just apply alpha transparency to parts of your skin and look what happens?

[EDIT]Ah, ok, I see now the problem. Didn't try that before but it seems there is no real alpha information on the skins, just 100% or no transparency :-(
What exactly did you do to get alpha on your model? I think in you other thread you said something about the mesh?

[Munderbunny]

I changed the shader in the mesh. It's not something I did with artmanager (lord how wonderful that would be).

Codemajor has good instructions on how to do it with a hex editor, though I used poa's mesh decompiler as if it were a hex editor. Definately not the fastest or best way to change the shader info, but I wasn't exactly pwning with the hex editor.

If you'd like to make some transparenty skins (partial or total, whatevs!) then please feel free, please. I've tried the mesh with varying levels of alpha, though I haven't tried like just the arms with transparency but no transparency on the legs, for example. Don't see why it wouldn't work, though. I've had partial transparency on other creatures I've used this shader information on.

Well, nice work :-)
If I'll get some good, spontaneous ideas I'll maybe do one or two skins!

Hi!
Just wondering if this project was complete and a file available.

I'm looking for a transparent skin / invisibility skin. (The Espectro one still has hair visible.)

Please PM me or post here. Thanks!

[Munderbunny]

You can download the alpha-enabled mesh here: http://www.titanquest.net/forums/ski...ment-mesh.html

But it's not total invisibility. If you want to get rid of the hair, you'll have to alpha out the hair skin (it's a separate piece ilke a helmet). The problem is, everytime you put a helmet on, you'll get hair with it (since they build the hair into the hat mesh).

Hi MunderBunny,

Thanks for the link.

I'm still hoping for Espectro without the hair. I'd be playing around with screenshots and not putting on a helmet, so hair with helmet is fine.
How do I go about alpha-ing out the hair?
