Edit surfaces or textures on clothing?

craighiltbrand

Didn't really know how to post the subject but I would like to be able to find a tutorial that shows how you can change the surface or texture on say a piece of clothing. Say you have a shirt and you open that shirt in photoshop and put a different design or pattern on that shirt. What do I do to accomplish this. I searched the forums and either I don't know what to look for or I just can't find anything on the matter. Any help would be appreciated.

The fastest way is if you go to the surface tab, select the drop-down menu from the diffuse/base color slot and chose "Browse" from the list. That will open the folder that has the materials for the item. You can then copy the path, use your regular file browser to get to that location, copy the pattern in question, edit the copy in Photoshop/Gimp, and save it. Then you'd go back to DS and use the same step you used to locate the file. Select the edited copy instead of the current map.

Here ends the quick and dirty run-through, hope it helps?
