0 TechAngel85 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 For textures, transparency is accomplished via the alpha channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lupus_hegemonia Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Okay, I'll try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lupus_hegemonia Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 The problem is, that the "Alpha Channel" removes completely an area (of the cloth). I want to make "RECORDER's" shirt ("Pirate Shirt") transparent 40% - not 100% (invisible cloth).So, I haven't find a solution - and that tutorial about NifScope (for transparency) is way to old - the tool is been very upgraded (and the UI is so different, I've "lost")...

0 TechAngel85 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Well, doing this via the meshes is the right way to go, but I haven't any idea how to do it. Perhaps you can use Stalhrim has an example since it's providing different levels of transparency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lupus_hegemonia Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Something else... ...for better handling and mods testing without ruin the Data folder (and the game)... NMM, MO or WB mod managers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) You can't because you will need to remake the shirt with additional skin underneath or it will look like your character is hollow. That's beyond textures and Nifskope. Your character's skin model is usually culled where there is cloth. An open short-sleeved shirt (for example) would keep the skin for the lower arms and the chest area. Everything else gets dissolved with the cloth for performance reasons. Edit: Examples of heads from UC4: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JOY4A Notice how the heads are cut perfectly to join the body and clothes. They don't ever render the whole body under the clothes as it's stupid and wasteful. Edited May 23, 2017 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lupus_hegemonia Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yes, you probably right. I tried to make it semi-transparent... and made it full-transparent... and I saw "Recorder" hands... without her arms!!!!!!!!!!!!So... I guess I can't. Placing the shirt, simply replacing the arms' meshes and such and if I make it transparent... I won't see her arms through the cloth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
