Help Semi Trnsparent/See-through Objects

[Vioxsis]

For example, i want to make a shoes in a game like this.

so i need a method to make the texture "semi transparent".

 

Firstly, I only found how to make it transparent by using Alpha Channel in PS.

Later, I heard form the web, is using PS and save it to PNG-24, and the texture will become semi transparent.

Finally, I failed in using PNG-24 to make the texture semi transparent.

For skyrim the tutorial i posted for PS or the one CPU posted for Gimp will work.

And to get that clouded transparent look the boots you posted have i would make the normal map noisy.

 

But if this is meant for skyrim you need to use a .dds not a .png.

Thanks for the information about GIMP I didn't realise it handled DDS files.

 

I have Paint Shop Pro so no official DDS plugin (apparently the PS one works sometime but I don't want to spend a lot of time fiddling about).

Many Thanks! I will try more about it, and change png to dds format.
