How to create Semi Armor Transparency using Paint.net

[Zquad1]

Hey everyone I am trying to figure out how to get any Armor to have a semi-transparent look.

 

I have tried a couple things with messing around with the Gradient tool, & I have I think figured out how to get the Mesh setup for it using the method from this tutorial---> How to make some parts of an armor transparent translucent invisible disappear

But I am having issues with the texture, so in the tutorial it uses photoshop, well I personally don't use it, I use Paint.net.

 

Now I created a see through texture....well kind of.   This is what I have made---->

 

 

 

 

as you can tell a few things don't look right, like the tattoo's show through but in an unusual way, & the Panties under the dress is black but seem white.

 

& I want the texture very transparent just like the arm sleeves

 

How did I get this? you ask?

 

ok here is what I did.

 

I loaded up the texture then I clicked on "TOOLS" then "GRADIENT" then I noticed a color cyrcle & I clicked that & chose Transparency mode.

 

& then I went up to Adjustments & selected "GRADIENT MAPPING"  & then I chose "CUSTOM", "LUMINOSITY", "OFFSET to 220" & then Wrap then I clicked ok then I saved.

 

so after all that what am I doing wrong??

 

PLEASE HELP!!!

Step 1 : Nifskope does more of this then you think.

 

Step 2 : GIMP. Not paint.net. Yes I have both, use GIMP. I can help you with alpha channels in GIMP. Paint.net is @ss

well stay tuned we are working on it..

do you want to do ...... "For me" ...... I'm going mad!

I had so often asked if someone could do something for me but I was always put off, you're the first to say, I will stay tuned!

very important I use the CHSBHC - BBP V2, because of compatibility.

thank you, thank you, thank you

du willst das tun...... " für mich "...... ich werde wahnsinnig !

ich hatte schon so oft gefragt ob mal jemand etwas für mich machen könnte aber immer wurde ich vertröstet , du bist der erste der sagt , ich soll dran bleiben !

sehr wichtig ich verwende den CHSBHC - BBP V2 , wegen der kompatibilität .

danke , danke , danke.

Ok I am trying to figure this out perhaps I am doing it right IDK But I am very unsure, I have made this Dress transparent using Gimp 2.6

 

 

 

but as you can see the shadows on the dress are way to dark, & the transparency is to much but I have tried several ways to get the transparency I am after, but it will either give me a solid color or all clear nothing in between, & when I go to "Save As" I get several Options, which option do I need?? here is what I am seeing:

OK!!! I Think I finally figured it out, out of sooooo much trial & error I finally got the result I was looking for. I have some more testing to do to confirm what I did was the correct way, But I think I did it. Let me know what you all think PLEASE!!!
