Now in the forums for skins ive heard people talk about alphaing out things, how do you accomplish this it can help me in my lil skin problem....and sopho wheres your tutorial its not in tutorials...
 
Download 'the Gimp' at the tools!
When u use that u can make a layer that is transparet, when u use the eraser tool, the backround is transparent (Alphaed)

BuT! You have to remember that u can't alpha out whatever you want becouse then it will become "holes" in the unit when u "put the skin on"! If you f.ex. alpha out his torso it will become a hole there, and from some sight views u can see the grount trou the legs! But to take an other ex. you may alpha out weapons to make weapon less units or just aplha out a little bit of it, and make a new form on the blade f.ex ;)
