Making a Fur
« on: December 30, 2006, 11:23:16 AM »
I've been trying for hours, I just started to develop today. Yes I know Rome wasn't built in a day.
But I have a really beautiful animal skin tone that I have in mind to create. I've downloaded Mayu22's body template, the one with all the skin tones. I open it up and all I can figure out is how to change the full color of the skin, but when I try painting anything else, it says it's locked, or when I select something, say nail polish for instance, and use the paint bucket to fill it in.. but the color doesn't change, it's like that with everything. Can someone help me pleeeeeasee?  :sad:
Thank you for your time.

I'm not an expert with PS. But you need to unlock the ceratin layers. There should be a padlock type thing next to the name of the layer, in the layer palett. Click it and it should unlock.

I tried clicking it, it does nothing. Then double clicking it, and it just opens properties for the layer. =\

graphic map? you mean the body thing? I'd do that, but I don't know how to color anything.

The black bit with all the lines on it.

I use the brush. I don't like flood fill.

How do you use that? or whats it called? I'm messing with the gradient tool, but I don't think this is the right one. If it is, it's just giving my a line when I drag.

Yeah that's it. It depends on the file. I usually use the templates from IMVU's dev section.

Ok, i'm getting the hang of it, I think I understand the concept, but I still need to know how to add a texture I created to it. And any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you once more. =^^=

Add a small, square which tesselates seamlessly to your texture catalogue.

One word - EyeCandy

Awesome set of texturing filters, great for both Photoshop and PaintShopPro.
