Hey folks...

Was doing up a version of the Acme tabards from the Vault, especially b/c the way they're set up, they use a common texture, which creates a little distortion here and there, but notably saves on PW loading and such... but when I deleted material from the main texture file to transparent, when I previewed in the armor set, absolutely no difference showed up.  It wasn't file-handling: I could paint red on, all that jazz, no problem -- but the old "I'll just delete from the texture so the mesh doesn't show in a given spot" trick wasn't working - it was as if I hadn't made any changes at all (and this after restarting the toolset, clearing my cache, everything I could think of).

Any idea as to what I might have been doing wrong?

you can't just simply delete parts of a texture to make the polys transparent. to achieve what you want you have to use an alpha map which controls the transparency of the texture. slot a blank white map into the alpha channel of the diffuse texture and paint out the parts you don't need with black.

Weird. Always worked before.. okay, I'll try it this way.
