Couple of modeling questions

[roadkill94]

Hey guys, I've been scouring the forums checking out all the tuts and awesome model showcases people have and it inspired me.

I've decided to edit this old model I have but the first thing I want to do is add team colouring. I found this tutorial

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/3d-modeling-tutorials-282/team-color-in-3dsmax-5-a-31469/

But I'm not sure if this texture has an Alpha layer and if it doesn't how would I make this alpha layer?

My second question would be adding team glow, there's a tutorial here https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/3d-modeling-tutorials-282/removing-geosets-glow-8928/ for removing team glow but not adding it, if someone could help me add weapon glow (hands) and base glow that would be wicked

Cheers

To add glow just download any team/hero glow and attach it to any of your units' attachment points, that's the only way i know.

You have Potoshop or Paint Shop, open your texture in them, and there you can check if there is an alpha layer, you can even do that in Max when looking at the texture, there is a button that shows you the alpha layer.
