Hello Everybody  I'm attempting to create a men's shirt with Chip Midnight's upper body template. I understand everything about it, but when I go to do the sleeves, I get confused. When making a short sleeved shirt, do I make the portion of the "arm" that is uncovered transparent? Black? White? Or what? I tried black since the background is black, but it uploaded with the sleeves as black. Please help, and thanks in advance. ;D |

Read the transparency guide at the top of the forum. For any part of the clothing where you want skin to show through, you'll need to make that part transparent by using an alpha channel.

You can either make the sleeves a fixed length defined by the alpha channel, or you can make the sleaves long enough for the full arm and set the length with the appearance slider.

Right, thanks. I seem to also be having an issue with lengths. I make the shirt as a jacket, and I want it long enough, but since the jacket is in two parts, the second part is made as white. I tried texturing it to blend with the shirt, but it zooms in on the texture and blurs it. Anyway to stretch the shirt further on the template, or fix this problem? |
