alpha channel help

how do you use the alpha channel?

im not very clear on it, like what does it do,

i know how to creat a alpha channel in photoshop, but after that i don't know what to do

i use psp7, but i think its similar...

an alpha channel makes something transparent, so if you alpha a section of a skin, it makes it see thru, or in other terms, gone. if a second mesh (team color) is under the alphaed skin, then it will show teamcolor instead.

save your alpha channels to 1 layer, dont make multiple ones

go to layes then click on alpha... it shud be black and white...

color over something with black removes it, white brings it back...

same for team color but team color can only be added on certain parts of a model.
