| | New to Iclone, am learning the clothing design right now. My question (or request really) is a step by step procedure for designing outfits in Photoshop for ex: making a collar, cuffs, ties, and putting the final product in Iclone. My design workstation is kept offline so I can't watch videos but I can view PDF. I've checked out the tutorials but like I said what I need assistance in is designing outfits in photoshop. Many thanx........... |

| | For general Photoshop texturing tutorials, just do a search on your favourite search engine like Google. There are thousands of tutorials out there which will guide you through creating textures. They don't need to be iClone specific as the same principles apply. Photoshop tutorials for Poser or Daz or even Second Life will still help you with iClone. Reading and practicing as much as you can will soon bring you up to speed.

| | I'll agree with Peter on the learning part. I will say that I've had a much easier time with this G3 pack than I did with the G2 pack. Alignments seem much easier to me and the division of the garment parts made my first basic jacket go very quickly (for me, 3.5 hrs). A couple general things I've learned (and I am very far from being any kind of expert - I'm more of a modeler): 1. Use layers...never texture on the template. 2. I use a lot of different selection methods if I have a source image...make sure you feather the selection by 2-20px based upon the size of the selection. That can be pasted as a layer and then when additional layers are added its easier to blend. 3. Learn how to use Clone Stamp and Pattern Stamp. If you want to make patterns from the source image, make a square selection on the source (use shift to constrain), copy and paste as a new image, resize the image to something divisible by 2, use filter->offset and put in +xx and -xx for the offsets where xx is half the size of the image. Use the clone stamp tool to erase the lines in the middle and then ctrl-a and edit->make selection pattern. Sometimes this is good, sometimes just cloning on the working document is better. 4. Save often, use the update button and check your work as you go. Do small sections. 5. If you're making your own design without a source image on the computer, I've always found it helpful to still have a picture of what I'm trying to achieve. There are many very experienced artists that could probably answer a specific question like "here's the method I'm using to align a belt between the back and front maps and its not working like I want, how do you keep the belt aligned?" dh |
