Skinning contest info - DEADLINE 11/oct/2003

Umm, why am I unable to make parts transparent using the alpha channel? Is this something I'm doing wrong or something on the model itself (like materials or something?)

(yeah I know there's no alpha channel to begin with so I just made one, but the transparent parts end up white)

emote_confused

The material isn't defined to use an alpha channel. You are allowed to modify the materials to suit your needs however. If you do not know how to do that I will post an mdl with an alpha blended material.

aahhh, ok.
I don't know how to do that right now, but I could probably learn pretty quick. There may be others, though, who want it too, so it's up to you whether or not you wanna release an mdl with alpha's.

I could sure use it:infth:

I'm in and halfway done :D

Here are the mdx's with alpha blended materials, the attached zip contains one with a single sided and a two sided material.


Glad to hear it Deamonkillar.

aw, crap...

Im like 40% done with my 1st skin. Did you discuss about how many skins we can submit cuz i wanna send in 2 at least.

I'm back from vacation. Can I still be a judge?

You can submit two skins but please specify which is your prefered skin for judging incase we change the policy.

Pencilgod, yes you may still be a judge if you like.

I guess I will be joinning soon... btw, when is the contest gonna end...?

Any specification at how large the skin files can be?

COOLIO ill start tommorow morn

Also, will there be a post of the portrait part of the model? Would help me know if I should do the inside of the mouth a certain way or not.

Dark Sage, they must be 512x512 in size at maximum, and I don't think we'll have a portrait for it unless Citizen or someone else removes the rest of the body and places it right, but woul keep the same model anyway.
