the calves came through the pants way to heavy
Thats exactly what happend BlooM.
Its not a big deal I explained it but I was tired and cut it all out and messed up my post. ;(
So Sorry BlooM I was confused on your mesh I apologize.
I remembered reading about it in your post for the mesh. I went back to the mesh after I checked them in my game last night. I will update the mesh just to make sure.
I collect fabric in real life. I love to sew I make clothing. Now I collect pictures of fabric. I have a pen and tablet for my computer. It is the best money I have ever spent.
Here is my secret on how I did the pants.
The pants I made in photoshop. Totally by accident. A blend of maxis/ea jeans pulled from the punk rock looking guy with the sleeveless biker jacket.
So.. I was fiddling around with layers photoshop.
I have made a pattern file I saved in photoshop. Its made out of a smaller tartan swatch I found. I cut and pasted until its 1024x1024dpi. Some fabric swatches are hard to line up like stripes and repeats in the fabrics.
I cut out those maxis/ea jeans and put them in a bottom bmp saved and closed that file, Since the tartan was red I made the pants red in photoshop. Photoshop menu-Image adjustments hue and colorize- move the color sliders. Again I saved the file. Each step I save close overwrite the bmp then reopen. When I like the color then I am ready to add the tartan to the jeans. I paste the tartan fabric over them.
*In Photoshop when you paste something over something else it makes a new layer on top. Then you can blend both layers until they they look like one fabric. I wanted the details, the shadows and folds of the fabric under the layer I pasted on top and I am lazy. Blending menu is found in the photoshop menu under layer style- blending options- you have to play with the sliders for both layers until they look like just one fabric.
There is a history brush in Photoshop. I used my pen to slightly erase the details like pockets shadows, rivets, folds from the top layer of tartan. I should have erased the seams better but since I did not I had to cut them out of a red colored or blue colored pair of jeans afterwards and then cut and paste to see where the edges of the jeans were.
Each time I moved something I will check in Bodyshop until they showed up. DUh I could have used the UV for it I guess. I chose to do it the hard way. Thats why the seams are out of line and the color is off. I pasted seams from the first colored pairs I saved before adding the tartan layer so I would have the detail of the seams. If you look at the texture file for the pants I left everything there for future references. So I would remember how I did it and I am messy. If I use the majic wand in photoshop it leaves black edges on the texture files.
I hope I did not confuse you BlooM.
