Alpha Channel Problem [Solved]

Post by Delta-1035 »

Hey GT, I have a little problem and I dont know how to fix it.

I wanted to make a Maris Brood skin using the aayla secura model, an hair msh addon and making the tentacles transparent.

So I added the alpha channel with GIMP on the tentacles and hexedited the msh but ingame it looks like this:

Its strange because on GIMP the skin looks good

and also on the msh viewer

Is there a way to fix it???

You must be using double sided transparency, I know this for two reasons, ingame it looks wonky and you can see the transparent parts in the mshviewer.
The hex edit flag for double sided transparency is 08.
I suggest 14 for making parts completely transparent, and you can still see the transparency in the mshviewer.

Single sided transparency (04) also produces the same effect shown in the posted screenshot. Any transparency without hard edge (10) enabled will result in the issue presented.

I see, then its the value of 10 is what gives it the hard edge, and then adding the 04 or 08 adds the single or double sided transparency, makes sense.
