Yes you can make objects transparent in Blender.
- Select the object you want transparent
- Click the materials tab
- Click the check box "Object Color"
- Click the Object tab
- Check the "Wire" box under Display
- Set the Object's color to a low alpha value (leave the rgb 100%)
TADA!

This doesn't work for me. :-( I tried it with a skirt and a full-body outfit.  |

This method is to make a mesh transparent in Blender so it is easier to work with in Blender. Making something transparent in Blender will not make it transparent in the game. What kind of transparency effect are you wanting to show up in the game?

Ooh, my bad, I thought this was a tut on how to make an object transparent in the game. I am interested in making some parts of clothing see-through, OM.

For skin tight clothes there is the tutorial I wrote on making transparency in clothes and it's posted in this tutorial forum. Transparency on parts of clothes that aren't skin tight is more difficult because you would need to use the sim glass shader how people are needing to use that shader to put alpha on a hair. Can you show a picture of the garment you're aiming for or something similar to it?

Sadly it's not skin-tight. I was thinking of creating a beach skirt using the maxi skirt we have in the game, and chopping some of it off, and then make the skirt slightly see-through and an accessory (using your "how to change a body outfit into a top" tutorial) so it can be worn over swimwear. I think I bit off way more than I can chew since I don't even know if shortening a maxi skirt (for someone who isn't a Blender expert) is possible at the moment (I asked MisterS about it today in his "how to shorten a skirt" tutorial thread), the transparency thing ended up not being as easy as I thought it would AND when I made the skirt an accessory it had quite a few issues in the mesh. :-/ |

Using THIS tutorial should help you. But that is useful for tops. But if i want to make the lower part transparent, it'll apear the legs texture.. not literally transparent. |

You can also use THIS tutorial in combination. Merge the legs to the bottom and make sure the transparent parts are mapped to the "extra parts" section. |

Hi, I there is a problem with my mesh, when I am all done in the render, the back part of my skirt is not visible, but when I rotate it, its there. What could be the problem.

So is this what I would do if I wanted to put a slightly irregularly shaped rug texture on one of EA's perfectly rectangular meshes? Trying to put a transparent background on the texture in Photoshop doesn't work.

Clone the irregularly shaped EA rug and make sure that you're putting your rug texture on an alpha image. This tutorial is about making things transparent in Blender tyo facilitate meshing...it will not affect the mesh's in game appearance.

This tutorial does not show steps that are needed to make things look different in Studio...it shows how to make things transparent in Blender so you can do your Blender steps more easily.
