A Stupid Question.

I have a small, but probably obvious question. I've been making skins for a while, but I could never figure out why there were always skin colored peices in the middle of my av's eyelashes whenever she wore one of my skins. I'm obviously doing something wrong, what am I shading in that I'm not supposed to? I've included a picture to show how it looks. Any help is appreciated!

Here's the picture:

The eye lashes of avatar are textured with a tiny bit of head texture, taken from the upper right corner of image. So if you paint that corner with base colour of your avatar's skin, that's the colour they'll have ^^

So if I leave that blank [transparent], there would be no color there? Would you mind showing me the corner?

It's a bit more complicated than that, i think. I.e. the eyelash will have whatever colour you paint that corner with (be it flesh colour or black colour) ... but the actual shape of eye lash has to be defined in alpha channel of texture -- if you leave that corner solid white, your eye lash will look like a solid, thin prim. If you paint that corner all black in alpha channel, you'll have no eyelash at all.

Don't know if the attached image shows you much, but you can sort of see the UV map for the 'lashes on it, it's the light rectangles in upper right corner.. if i recall right the upper rectangle is for the upper and the lower is for lower eye lash. The side where they touch the eyelid is the edge where the rectangles meet.

(image is 512x512 pixels, so you can just overlay it on your texture for reference)

Thanks so much!

if you don't paint the upper righthand corner at all, it defaults to the regular SL lashes...I tried painting them today, it makes them ugly! Leave them un-colored.
