hi! so i'm trying to make my first clayified hair because i prefer maxis match but can't find the hairstyle i want in any texture but alpha.
i've been following a tutorial, saved the diffusion layer in dds format, opened it in photoshop 2020.
i have the nvidia plugin installed. when i open it up, however, unlike the tutorial i'm following, everything shows up in a red/pink color when i turn on the alpha channel.
then, after i add the clay texture, when i go to save, photoshop gives me an error, so i can't save in dds. i've looked up ways to fix this but i can't seem to figure out what the problem is.
so instead i tried saving the dds as png, since the tutorial said i could...
except when i test it out in sims4studio, while the hair looks absolutely exactly like i want it to, the entire sim's body is white.
when i open it up in the game, the same problem occurs. hair looks great. no skin texture.
i've seen some tutorials saying i need to delete the background to make it transparent, but when i try to delete it, nothing happens. if i re-open the png in photoshop, i can delete it, but then it creates a wall of the clay texture, which then turns the sim into a horrifying hair texture golem rather than the white skin.
i'm so lost! i can provide screenshots if needed, but i've closed everything out of frustration for now and will probably start the process over if i want to show what's going on.
