Succes with Helmets!!!!
I did it i hv edited ur template MSD to get a perfect helmet template with braces.
I think u faced a problem that instead of braces a white cover like thing was appearing.
Well use this template and when done editng it
Save it as DXT 1 |1 bit alpha
I hv drwn braces but if u want to change them here r instructions:
1)First select the entire box of the braces area(Rectangular Marquee tool)
2)(the braces box should be still selected)Now click on the Channels Tab.(Its next to the Layers Tab) and there should be somting called Alpha 1,click it.
3)U will see the braces box selected here as well,click inside the selectin and press delete.This should make the entire selection black.
4)Now go back to the layers section and draw the braces inside the box.
5)Use the magic wand tool to select the braces u hv drawn(The lines not the box this time).
6) make sure the braces r still selected and go to the Channels Tab-->Alpha 1 again.
7) Again here the lines if the braces will be selected. Use the paint bucket tool to fill these with white.
8)All this ensures that u get transperrency behind the braces.Otherwise u will se a white mask and lines drawn on it.
9)BUT if u like the braces I hv deawn then no need to use this method(My braces r drawn badly)
Dont get scared if after saving u see the file and u see the braces box black.That actually means transperency.(Dont worry if u colour black it wont bcom transparent but as u has deleted the alpha part it just shows black)
