Demeggy Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I was just wondering, does anyone know if its possible to create a translucent skin texture for a human NPC? Theyd inevitably have translucent skin, aswell as translucent clothing. Any ideas? Cheeyars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghogiel Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 likely. Alpha seems to work on characters. it may conflict with some skin shaders, alpha can be tempermental. so you'll have to figure out things by trying it. but I don't know what effect you are going for. the vertex order on the bodies could be in a disarray, causeing fighting in the zbuffer, making the alpha look crap. also I don't think it'll look so good, especially on the face. there is all kinds of geomerty inside there, mouth and eye, and they were built for function/ never intended to see it in there, so basically it won't look like normal people with translucent skin do(skin is translucent as it happens). Probably more like a scary puppet. with hollow insides. I really don't imagine pulling off any SSS skin. or faking it. best if you describe or show a pic of the final effect you are after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demeggy Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Just a ghosting effect really, ghost/hologram style. Neh mind, I'll figure something out Im sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skree000 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 yes it is possible. watch your eyes, children. glass girls are not exactly SFW! NSfw V_V NSFW V_V >_> <_< o.O; http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/images/22038-1-1232380236.jpg comes from this mod here, by SpeedBuster, he is the KING.

Ghogiel Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Actually....from those pics, it does look a hell of a lot better than I imagined. There is some fighting on the legs in that one you linked skree. If the meshes had been strippified at export that'll make thinks worse by a whole lot. always use shapes for transparent meshes.
