:confused: DAY 3 and I have a horrid headache. I have so many great ideas but I can't create them because I am totaly confussed. I wish to make the transparent clothing such as tattoos and lingerie. I am a graphics artist so to speak I am self taught so I do understand what is being said I just need a simple "English" version of how to. every things so confusing! I know what alpha channels are I thought I had it several times but to my disapointment it did not work.
PLEASE save my sanity.

Liv,

Which paint program are you using? Knowing that is a start toward helping you.

If u are using Photoshop I think the best way is to dissect the Tutorial Files that lindens make and then tweak them to your own designs.

These files have a background that shows the positioning of the clothes, an overlay that repeats this info so you can "draw" under the template, multiple examples of slightly different clothing and associated Alpha Channels.

I recommend to everyone starting to make clothes to try a simple T-shirt using the upper body template...If you can manage to get a logo or picture to sit on the chest area of your T-shirt you are well underway.

Good luck and just play with it..... sounds like u really wanna do it..that's half the battle..Have fun and if u have specific probs let us know and we'll help !!
