I am having trouble with avatar eyes. The lashes keep coming out white. I have tried coloring everything black up to the eyebrows and still the lashes come out white. I have the skin tattoo in jpg format so I'm not sure what's going on. Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong? I tried to attach the psd to the face, but it doesn't seem to be attaching :(

Hmm I dont know whats happening there, i think it happened to me before but I cant remember what i did =\

Have you tried saving it as targa format? that might be the problem..i believe its 32 bit format for SL.

The top right corner of the texture should be transparent, because that's where the eyelash pigment comes from. I had this problem before too.

Unfortunately, I can't provide an example for you, because I'm on my work computer :( But yeah, the top right corner needs to be transparent. Not a big corner or anything, though.

Seduisant, you need this file here. It will give you a guide for cutting out the neccessary transparent area in the upper right of your head texture.

Remember to reverse the alpha on that file, or "select Inverse" if you are using PS :)
