Thanks! AFAIK, you can make it not transparent (change the alpha layer in the texture), but it will not look (or behave - ie shadows) exactly like the "skin part" because the object uses a glass material not a solid. (think frosted glass vs. brick) Edited October 28, 2022 by prccowboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratos Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 And how can I do that? The Canopies are usually not on the templates I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Find the glass texture, figure out the orientation and position and then just paint on it like any skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razo+r Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Well, if the canopy is on the template, then yes. If it isnt, then you need to find the texture with the canopy on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratos Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Another doubt, I see some glasses are on texture zips, how can you put them back once edited? I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 You could unzip the folder, replace the texture and zip everything together again. Or open the zipped folder, replace the texture in there and it should be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
