For some reason when I try export my RLES files they seem to be lacking an Alpha channel. Not sure why that is. I start with Create 3D Mesh. But when I export my specular files in order to edit them, I have only the RBG channels.

hi! You have to export the rles in dds form, not png.

What s4s version are you using? Can you share the package? do you have the nvidia plugin installed right?
edit: when you export the specular, the program will export two files. You need to open and edit them both.

Hiya @inbadromance Ive tried both harmony and jackpot version of Studio. When I export, I do get both the mask RLES and the regular RLES but neither has an alpha channel.
This is happening when I try to export the base meshes. (turtle neck and pleated mini skirt)

I'm sorry, i don't know how to help you. I've cloned the pleated skirt, exported the specular and the .dds is the one that has alpha.

Hi ciablue, Studio supports the .png format for specular. .dds format will probably work also but I cannot guarantee that because the specular feature for Sims 4 Studio was designed to work with .png only. After you export the specular images, the mask doesn't have or need an alpha. The alpha is on the other image. Have you tried to create a specular following the tutorials here and had that not work? It isn't clear from the original question what the issue is other than that you're finding the mask has no alpha (which is normal).

Hiya orangemittens if its not too much trouble could you send me a link to that tutorial? This is the first time Ive encountered not having an alpha channel export with the specular. I usually just work with the one that pops out on export. I will also be trying to find the tut on my own. CiaB
