Is it possible to add a channel to an object? I've seen it done for clothes. My question is how do you do it, either for clothes or objects. I'm trying to add a channel to the modern alarm clock so you can recolor the blue part. If anyone knows how (I'm thinking it's a S3PE thing) or can point me in the right direction of a tutorial, I would very much appreciate that.

So how did you do this after all? You seem to have figured it out –*but I can't find anything on the subject. Do you have any pointers, or care to explain?

This was briefly discussed here

Oh plasticbox I haven't checked this thread in a while. This is what I do to enable channels.

In TSRW I extract the overlay, and the texture. In gimp I open the texture, and open as layers the overlay. Then I save the image with the overlay on top as a .png. Then I open the .png and make the saturation level -100. Then I just create an RGB from the texture. Of course you will have to save your textures and RGB channels as .dds.
