I'm very sorry if I put this in the wrong section.
I have been working on those dresses all night, but I cannot get Maxis meshes to allow me to alter the alpha. I tried everything, so I don't know what I am doing wrong. I flooded the part I wanted covered in black, then in white. I did the same on the texture map, then I finally gave up. I did not want this bow, and I wanted the center to curve down and go around the lower part of the back, not go straight across. I tried and tried.
I did do these..the blue one was first, then I did the green one and got it to look a little better, then I did the red one...I'm uploading the package for all three. The bmp is over 3 megs! and all three packages are only a little over 300K so thats what I'm uploading. I hope this is what you need. I think I need to do a step by step tutorial on how to export a mesh in SimPE so I can put it in Milkshape and try to get what I want in there. But I hope I'm on the right track here, my brain hurts. lol
PS Apologies the pictures are not great I compressed them at 15 to keep the kb small. Ok I added one in a lower compression so you can see what it actually looks like.
