Token Transparency....

Post by morval »

Jerome could you expand a little on how to make a token transparent? I saw you mention it in another post, but I can't figure it out. I'm good with Photoshop, but I'm used to using PNGs for that sort of thing.

You have to create two images:
- a normal non-transparent JPEG image
- a greyscale PNG image

The PNG image wil be used as a transparency mask: white areas will indicate completely opaque areas, black areas will be completely transparent, grey areas will be semi-transparent.

The PNG image must have the same width and the same height as the JPEG image.

I'm a dummy. Its just what you do when you are creating non-square tokens. Doh!!! :) I was thinking its a whole other image I had to supply. But of course thats what the front-mask-file and back-mask-file is doing.
