Fitz Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hi Gang, If there is a tutorial for this subject or the question has already been asked, please guide me in the right direction. I'm making a 3D outfit. I want the material to be black PVC. How do I make that effect? Texture size is 256 x 512. I will apply it to an opacity map. (If anyone is familiar with IMVU, they'll know what I mean.) If you need any other info let me know. Also, If I need plugins for this, links would be great. Thanks for the help! BTW...On my homepage, and in the forums there, I totally support Paint.net. Even converted some GIMP users. (I'm anti-GIMP, sorry!)

Rick Brewster Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Got any examples?

Edit: Or is this just a matter of me making the white areas fit a solid colored area? Edit Again...sorry...the picture is not my work. I "borrowed" it off the IMVU catalog to show you an example.

Illnab1024 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 The best way to achieve the effect is with material settings; reflectivity, specular settings, etc. If you're looking for high-res, I suggest adding a bit of noise and doing brightness/contrast, and for any hemming you might have, you're likely going to have to draw a good bit of it yourself. EDIT: If you can't do lighting settings, then draw some highlights n a new layer, blur the layer, and maybe lower the layer opacity a bit. Mess around, see what you can get.

Mess around, see what you can get. Well, thus begins my problems. I have no idea what the settings should be. I never really worked with layers in Paint.net. (I mostly use RealDraw Pro, which is object oriented.) Really just learning all this stuff myself, but I have an individual who is using Paint.net (one of my "converts") asking me how to do these things. Layers and the effects throw me off since I haven't messed with using those. Sorry for being an idiot, but I just have no clue what to do or where to start.

Illnab1024 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I mean the material in the 3D model. (or are you skinning? If so, use the edit portion of my advice...) Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 I think I might be skinning! I am deriving off of this product: Edited to remove picture Then, I have to make an opacity map from the template below, to achieve the design I want. Is that what you mean by skinning?

Illnab1024 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Yeah, pretty much. (Not technically, but meh.) Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks for trying to help! I'll try to figure it out! Quote \\"Education And Knowledge Eliminates Ignorance\\" MPB http://www.somethingyouneek.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 I am trying to learn PVC texturing with this program (which isn't against IMVU rules) but yes if you're referring to the pictures being posted, you're right. Having these pictures up is a bad idea, because noone can be trusted anymore. I will remove those pictures immediately.
