Texture Map File (?) Hey all, I've scoured WorldSims and the official BBS for this answer and can't find it anywhere... Does anyone know how to create the texture map file using Photoshop? (The purple image that makes the clothing look '3D'). What is even more annoying is that I have ALREADY done it for several pieces of clothes when I first started skinning, but it's been awhile since I've worked on anything and I forgot how! =( I remember it was something really simple and pretty much was just a click of a button, but for the life of me I can't find out how I did it! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Give the lines a lil' bevel or emboss by giving blending options.. try playing around with that.. and it should work
Thanks for the reply, Wize! =) I ran across this tutorial that spelled it out pretty easily for anyone else that wonders how to do it: http://members.fortunecity.com/lpx/tutorials/bumpmap.html
Since the game came out, the file is no longer purple. You can just use greyscale to do it. I had directions from Nanshi Nibble (which are somewhere on this site) on how to do it before the game came out, but hadn't done much skinning since then. But this week when I went to do some more, I realized that we don't have to deal with the purple changeover. We can just work with greyscale and it works better than the purple stuff.
