Hello.
I was wondering if Gradients would show under textures of you make them transparent. I've seen people with joint textures that show the colour under it, as ingame it has the default orange colour, but during replays it would be white.

So basically, Can textures be transparent to show the gradient underneath.
Can textures be semi transparent? So they are basically see through?
Also, is Pure really whiter than the default white?

Nope, textures completely cover the body part, and any transparency will be literally transparent (for obvious reasons don't try any "invisible man" stuff). Using gradients is handy for if you don't want to look boring when textures are disabled on a client, or for when you get bored with textures in general.

Joints work differently, textures for them are better thought of as tattoos.
