Color

Hi. I need to know how you can make specific parts of a skinn transperant, so that team color can shine through.
It would be great with a GIF<->BLP converter.

umm i don't think there is a program to convert animated pics to blp. i think you are referring to alpha channels when talking about transparent.

 

[Pyritie]

Not all GIFs are animated.

Well you'll need alpha channels if you want any sort of transparency. Look around in our tutorial section for any sort of skinning tutorials with transparency.

Sigh, this is how you do it...

You turn your Alpha Chanell Brush with a bit of transparency. Simple? Or, the other way, is to do the part you need to do transparent and put an alpha channel behind it.

The only parts that can be team colored are parts that Blizzard has already MADE team colored
You can skin over those parts and remove the team color
But you cannot make differant parts on the skin team colored however

...without editing the model.

seems logical for people to make their entire models team colored, with the correctly colored skin over it, so that you can just make parts transparent to get team colors.

I think it's necessary to try to clear this up, making the texture transparent does not "allow the team color to shine through." It does one of two things, make that part of the model transparent, or make that part of the model team colored.

Like End said, Blizzard models already have that set, but you can change it without too much difficulty. If you want to learn how to change it from team color to transparent or vice versa I will move this thread for you.

If you want to make team color/transparency show on the model, all you have to do is make sure your texture has a transparent background and erase whatever you want to be alphaed, then save as a .tga and export to blp.
