| | Hi - I have beenm playing with clone cloth for a while, getting my head around textures, opacity etc. and I think I can now adequately design my own basic clothes, but now I am ready to move onto more advanced designs. I have noticed that on some characters (Shy Girl's designs are those that spring to mind immediately) the clothing is multi-layered. How is this done? For example, if I use a diffuse map coloured in for, say, a white shirt and black jacket, it comes out as a black and white shirt. How can I get the jacket to look as though it sits over the shirt. Is this what a Bump Map is for? (If not, what is a Bump Map?) Also, I have noticed that there are layers in Photoshop and I cannot get my head around them at all. For eample, sometimes when I use the "Fill" command, it fills a new layer and covers everything, instead of filling the section of the layer I am working on. I know it's a bit off-topic, but can anybody point me to a Layering Idiot Guide somewhere on the Net, so I can at least see how they interact? Thanks. |

| Use opacity on the Upper cloth layer where you want the jacket to be open, and paint the shirt on the Skin defuse layer, easy enough ?

Hi Lionheart, Creating good textures will made so much easier with Layers. If you do a search on Google or any other search engine for beginners guides to Photoshop I'm sure you will find many simple tutorials to get you started using layers and the other essential tools of Photoshop. Even the help file should have some simple tutorials for you to try. Once you get the hang of using layers you'll find them indispensible.
