What's the transparency option?


The transparency option comes in (almost) every skin editing program. It usually looks like this.

Okay, what's so good about it?


The transparency option is REALLY USEFULL.

Let's have a look at this Rei skin I'm making

(Note; the red was so ugly using regular hue shifting I had to subsitute it with blue)

As you can see the one with transparency shading is more pleasing to the eye.


How can I use it?


It's hard to explain with words so we get to look at more pictures! [crowd cheering]


I hope that made some sense


How can I shade with it?


ALL of my skins after the Dave Strider one have used transparent shading. Thus being said I would like to keep my "style" so this part is going to be a bit vauge.






Hope that helps!



It probably made 0 sense, but it's the style I use for my skins and I feel like it's a nice and easy way to get good results
