But getting a particular image set up channel-separated like that can be tricky, and that's what the bulk of this tutorial will cover.įor most patterns, you cannot just import an image directly without major editing! Never actual colours.īy using this channel separation, you can do just about any pattern you can imagine. When making your channels you will be working with only black, white, and shades of grey. They could be called anything - "red," "green," and "blue" are just names here. Note: These are channels, not colours! While they are called red, blue, and green channels, and while your finished DDS image will be colourful, a lot of people seem to get confused thinking of them as colours rather than channels. Though this pattern has no greyscale, you can also do shades of grey (instead of pure black/white) to do partial transparency. Where they were black, they are fully transparent. See how the red is the background, and how the other channels layer on top of it? Where the other channels were white, they show up. You can click this image for a larger version. I have coloured each of the palette options to match their channel names - red, green, blue, and alpha (set to white). You can see here how this separation and layering works for the pattern in-game.
