There are some Glow Map shaders that let you set colors via a ColorMap, which essentially is a colored gradient - these are more often used for VFX stuff than armor/clothing. | There are some Glow Map shaders that let you set colors via a ColorMap, which essentially is a colored gradient - these are more often used for VFX stuff than armor/clothing. | ||

Some shader configs allow you to create completely (or partially) transparent parts on armor/clothing without needing to edit the mesh. A standard one is:<blockquote>Materials\Public\Shared\Assets\Materials\Characters\CHAR_BASE_AlphaTest.lsf</blockquote>Any transparency is added via the Base Color map, by creating a white Alpha channel and painting in parts you want fully transparent with black (grey for partial transparancy). In the game files these files might be called _BMA instead of _BM, but the naming doesn’t matter - they’re just _BM files exported with Alpha active. | Some shader configs allow you to create completely (or partially) transparent parts on armor/clothing without needing to edit the mesh.
