How to make custom facepaint?

(1/4) > >>

Mi-chii:
I want to make various patterns to have on my sims cheeks and chins, that show up under the facepaint-category (i don't think it's the right name, but can't remember what it's called right now).

Im thinking like hearts, stars or organic patterns (think like temperary tattoos).

I have never made custom content in my life and I need help.

Do I make the pattern in photoshop first, and then take it into bodyshop?

Thank you to anyone who can help me!

The Mule:
Export the one of the maxis facepaints...replace your photoshop image into the texture file of the export....adjust the alpha accordingly. Technically, no you don't have to do the pattern in PS first, but you need to after you export it. Export any one, pull the texture and start playing around with it. It's alot easier than you think

Mi-chii:
Export to where...? :oops:

The Mule:
from bodyshop...choose a facepaint....click export...it send it to a folder in my documents/sims2/projects....your project folder will contain a folder that it created for you when you export...inside that folder will be two files...one is called an alpha and is in black and white...you wont need to change it the first time you do it...the second will be in color and it will look like the face paint you exported. Use whatever drawing program you have to alter the file, save click the refresh button in bodyshop and you'll see the change...the maxis's site has a good bodyshop tutorial also....

Mi-chii:
Thank you mule, I understood now :)
