TRANSPARENT SPRAYS!!!

Ok I have followed many a tut and still no cake...........i dont know what i am doing wrong or even if i am...!!!! if someone has failsaef advice or a tut handy please feel free to throw them at me!!!!!!! WHat grey color is it i am to use? What is it with all this channel stuff in photoshop????? Please shed some light.

Dont worry....I figured it out....PM me if you want to know how!

What do you mean by transparent sprays?

Sprays ingame......wich then lead me to learn how to use transparent sections of decals when mapping.

Like my spray, technically it has a white background (current display pic) but ingame its transparent and you can only see the name and the sexy sillouette lol

yeah fletch how do you do that?

Well for those who have photoshop......start with a reasonable size 512x512, or 256x256...? wichever tickles your fancy!!!....
Then...
Make the first layer transparent(default in photoshop - grey and white checkboard)......second layer make your picture....then select the areas you would like transparent, then go to select(inverse) so that you hace the image you want to show selected....
Next click on the channels tab-right side of screen where you have your layers.....and when in channels tab press the create new layer button, in this case it will create an alpha channel......
This will be all black with the dotted line of you selection - Fill this selection with pure white..

and thats it all done...SAVE YOUR IMAGE AS A (TGA) file and load it up in the particular game it was meant for!!!! have fun any Q's PM me.

Dammit Jacket giving my secrets away and all that shit...Nah Keza made it for me cos he's such a good friend

but does the targa file have to be 32 bit ey.... jacket lol cause thats what file i save too for mine

From what I have read and done.
32bit works everytime.......have not tried the others....so whatever works for you........ Good luck!!!
