sheheryar_noor

I am new to DDO. I would do my best to explain my problem

http://prntscr.com/bnnrah < for now 2 parts texurized. Body and clip/pin

http://prntscr.com/bnntb4 <inise body folder.

I want the text to have some scratches where white color will be worn/scratched and bottom color(green) will show.
I tried applying mask on text (HMX) layer but it does not work

Another method i used is putting text layer in separate folder,applied folder dynamask to body http://prntscr.com/bnumbc
If i change the text layer dynamask to any dynamask except blank (inside the folder) text disappear. http://prntscr.com/bnun6y

How do i have to do that?

You're working with text - you can add a layer mask in Photoshop and manually paint scratches in, or you can select the opacity of another scratched mask and use that selection as the layer mask of your text.

I didn't get this " or you can select the opacity of another scratched mask and use that selection as the layer mask of your text.  " Would be appreciated if you post the picture

The steps required:

CTRL+LMB on the layer mask which contains the scratches you wish to use. This will select the layer's opacity as a selection in Photoshop.
Select the text layer.
Click the layer mask button at the bottom of the layer stack to create a layer mask for that text document from the current active selection in Photoshop.
