Ok you can do it in one texture.
You mark up what you need to be tranculent on you first texture. In photoshop you can save it as Alpha or you can go to the Channels tab and make a new Channel. It will automaticly name it Alpha 1.
Mark the Alpha 1 channel and then fill your selection with an appropriate grey color.
Save it as either .tga or .dds with DXT1 with 8bit alpha or DXT3 with Explicit Alpha.
Import it into the Editor and when importing hack off "Alpha" and you will have a tranculent texture.

Final blend is to adjust it so it doesn't screw up. A little hard to explain but do the above first.

Photoshop is giving me a error message "unsupported input format"
Do you know any tutorials for shaders in general so i can learn how they work?

 

[daloonie]

Do you have more than one Alpha channel and the normal RGB channels under the Channels tab? I recall getting that error too when having more then the normal RGB and 1 Alpha channel.

No other than the Unreal Developer Network.

It's how I learned most of what I know now. And then some self learning and some here too.

After 4 hours of trying i found a way to do it.

It´s officially done.
I´ll send it to Sad in about 20 minutes.

CTF4 Support and translucent blades for both Heads included.

I always forget to make the background layer visible and get that error

Turned out pretty damn cool, Slaughter. Good job!

 

[Slaughter]

Thx

If someone wants to review this:
Don´t be fooled by the masking errors in the playerselection...they´re not visible ingame.

HeHe . It´s great that I have the new option to mirror the files manually , so we don´t have to wait ages before they get mirrored.

 

[daloonie]

Hehe

Slaughter, there's something you forgot. The LOD settings. Well it's not a problem I suffer from, because I use max settings in everything and Eye Candy, but some do use lower settings.

Anyways very impressive skin, great work

Nice work!
