I don't think there's any video tutorials but if it's cyberfaces you're talking about, this is how Ryan explained it to me:

It's worked out fine when I've tried a few conversions.

This one is pretty simple as long as you follow the directions.

I realise that. What I meant was that the alpha layer tutorial I was linking to is suitable for cyberfaces.

I've never used that method in the conversions that I've done, maybe someone else can give you some advice there.

Now, when you are there, select all copy, click on alpha layer and paste your bhed :P
You will see red thing on your cf.
...
:idea: Make sure yours cf is "flatten image" and you can save it as dds. :idea:
