I just created a trans map for the first time in order to make Vicki's bikini bottom into a thong. Since all it required was black and white, it was easy, I did it in Photoshop using the bikini texture map template. I created the cut-out shape in black for one side of the back, then duplicated that as a mirror image for the other side. Then I created a layer filled with white as the background for the transparency, to cover the map itself, flattened the image and saved it as a .jpg. It worked like a charm, and I didn't have to go to the trouble of creating a new prop. Gromit
