Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: Innocent on September 12, 2006, 01:05:23 am The other day while talking to Kim and Kathy I accidently mentioned that I should make a photoskinning tutorial for dummys. And then Kathy said that it would be great if I did do it. So I made it and here it is. I hope that it helps everyone out who had been wanting to do this but never did it.
First of all I want you guys to know that I am NOT a professional and that this tutorial will have some words like " use this thingy " lol. It just very basic so that whoever wants to make clothing can at least have some kind of idea on how to do it. For this tutorial you will need to have some basic knowledge of image editing and an image editing program. I am using Paint Shop Pro 9.. ( I know that people like to use differnt ones and that is fine. As long as you know the tools.) Before I get started let me tell you that if you dont have Paint Shop Pro and would like a free trial version you can get one >>>here (http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=CorelCom/ProcessLayout&lc=en&ppg=CorelCorp/Trials/Login&pid=1156169694605&cid=1156169693940)<<<.

Thanks so much for writing it for people!
Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: Charley on September 12, 2006, 12:40:32 pm i am using paintshop pro X but it doesn't seem to be the same as what you are using, i get to the point where i have to copy the image of clothing as a transparent layer, i cannot paste it like that at all. do you have any ideas what i should do from there?
Thanks Charlie xxx Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: MaR on September 12, 2006, 01:12:04 pm Thanks a lot Maria, this is very helpful for dummies like me ;) You rock!
Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: The Mule on September 12, 2006, 01:25:07 pm This is great!
What are some good sites other than gojane to get the clothes in the first place? I keep googling up pages with models inside the clothes, or the clothes angled. The neck is always a tough part - that and getting the backsized up.

Thanks Charlie xxx Charlie: Hmm no sorry I have always been able to paste the image. Sorry. The Mule: Yeah I tried looking for websites like gojane and and didnt find any. You can use pics with models in them. I just paint over the models with white paint and crop the picture as much as I can. try these sites: www.forever21.com (http://www.forever21.com) www.expressfashion.com (http://www.expressfashion.com) www.gap.com (http://www.gap.com) you can also try regular stores like JC Penny and even Target. You can go all out and google runway pics. Whatever you like. :) Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: The Mule on September 12, 2006, 01:44:02 pm Hadn't thought of that (painting the models - just a dumb UAW guy)...but usually they're moving and messing up the clothes. How about sleeves? How do you do those? (Another tut perhaps - another excuse for me to see your avatar?!). Thanks for the links. Rue21 has some usuable stuff too.
Charlie (another nice avi), Gimp will work more or less the same way as what the gorgeous innocent one is saying - there's tuts and links for that over at MTS2 Thanks again innoccent.

Charlie (another nice avi), Gimp will work more or less the same way as what the gorgeous innocent one is saying - there's tuts and links for that over at MTS2 Thanks again innoccent. Yeah the sleeves are a bit harder. Im still in the process of learing. I will think about another tutorial. I was actually thinking of doing one for alpha edits first. But I dont know yet. I also take my own advise and just keep trying new stuff out. To see how different textures and tools effect the look of the clothing. And for Charlie yeah you should try to use Gimp if you cant get that other program to work. I have never tried it before so I dont know if its that your program doesnt support it or there is something wrong with it. Your Very Welcome Mule. :) Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: Charley on September 12, 2006, 02:59:54 pm Sorry found out i was doin it wrong doh!! anyways thanks for the quick response. just thought would show people what i had done, know its not very good, but for it to change from what it was previously is a big achievemnt for me lol

They cover skin! Since when do I like that?

Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: Innocent on September 12, 2006, 03:37:19 pm LOL Mule... Yes I have to agree sometimes less is more! ;)
Charlie - That is a really great start. My first piece of clothing was a shirt and it was backwards, lol. So keep trying and Im sure you will get very good. :) Justluvly - Your welcome. Hope to see some of your stuff soon. :) Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: Mickey57 on September 12, 2006, 10:39:13 pm Maria, Thanks so much, this has been a great help and one of the most simple to follow tutorials I have seen!

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. :D Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: The Mule on September 13, 2006, 02:01:15 pm How about a tut on what to do with Warlokk's "alpha skirt" or marvines if you prefer...the ones with two textures and two alpha's.....I see people make all sorts of cool things with those but I don't know where to begin. And what's warlokk's UV map for?
Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: PrincessIsabelle on September 13, 2006, 02:46:56 pm thank you you made a great tutorial i have the same dress on my computer
Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: FJPerez on September 18, 2006, 03:16:56 am Really fantastic and useful tutorial.
Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: The Mule on September 20, 2006, 10:57:07 pm Thanks again - even though I have uploaded any new outfits - this tutorial was GREAT help making stuff for the 4 million contests I'm in!
Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: Innocent on September 21, 2006, 07:57:57 pm Your all very welcome. Yeah I haven't joined any contests in awhile because I've been kinda busy. But its cool to be able to make your own clothes. :)
Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: MellieC on November 13, 2006, 08:14:44 pm There's a "refresh" icon? That's what that thing is? LOL I had no idea! You should see all of the unfinished projects I have in my Projects folder because I didn't know that little icon meant refresh.
Thanks so much for this Innocent, it really was a tutorial for dummies. <--- Me. Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: Innocent on November 25, 2006, 11:08:59 pm @ mellie C. - Yup thats what its for...
@tsi - You need to make your own. :) You can do this by copying the texture layer and adding it to the bump map layer. And using hue and saturate to make it black and white. :) Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: wayneout on December 02, 2006, 10:26:45 pm I enjoyed your tutorial.
I believe you have that great transparent (or parts of it) yellow dress. I have tried every shade of grey that I can think of on the alpha channel but none of mine come out that great. Mine don't even come out that good. The best I have found so far was 102,102,102. I use PSP7 and PSPX but I find myself using 7 more because I have gotten so used to it. Thanks, Bill Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: summer_wine on December 03, 2006, 10:08:11 am hey if you guys are looking for a site with clothes you can use try http://www.my-wardrobe.com

Thanks Charlie xxx I use PSP 7 so it may not be exactly the same, but you're looking for "Edit - Paste as new layer" (Ctrl-L) while you have the image you're pasting into active. It may not paste exactly where you want it, so you need to move the layer you've opasted to fit (sometimes it pastes "out of image" which may be why you can't see it). To make the image transparent, you need to adjust the transparancy/opacity of the layer. To do this, open the toolbox for the layers function (it should be on your toolbar as a default somewhere) and adjust the transparency to about 30 % to see both layers (seeing through the top one to the bottom). You can also toggle the layers on and off. HTH Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: MsMacDugle on January 11, 2007, 04:37:19 pm Thanks tons for this wonderful visual tutorial.
Sorry, but I don't consider myself a dummy;a beginner definately, just a visual learner. So this is a wonderful tutorial for those of us that need both written instructions & visual aids to make sure that we are doing things correctly. So if you have any other tutorials in this format for the beginners such as myself. I would love to have them. Thanks tons, I am deeply in your debt. Does it come in a downloadable form? No Worries if it doesn't I copied for myself so that I could have a hardcopy to go by as well. Again thanks tons. Title: - Photoskinning Tutorial - Post by: Pilotpigen on January 11, 2007, 05:13:51 pm Thanks! This is really what I've been missing, course I'm an ignorant when it comes to written tuturials!
