1upD Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Here's a short Icon tutorial I made for someone. You need Photoshop, or a program that can edit Alpha channels and write .TGA. I've heard gimp is good...Can it write Alpha Channels? 1. Take pics of the unit your iconing.2. Change canvas size. Make the shorter side the same hight as the longer.3. Change the image size to 50x50.4. Add an Alpha channel5. Select the black area6. Make the black area back on the alpha channel7. Make sure the gun, eyes, and everything else black that are on the clone trooper are white on the alpha channel.8. Download the MTD editor9. Make sure your pic is a .tga10.Insert it into your MTD.
