Being sure that the base texture key is highlighted, click on the "find" button at the bottom of the window. A DDS Preview window of the base texture of the shirt should pop up.
Click the Export button at the bottom right corner of the preview window. Choose a destination for the file, give it a name, then save it. Usually you'd want to do this step first but we're doing it now!
Find an image that you want to use as your stencil. I'm going to use this smiley face:. Open up your imaging program and make a new canvas. Set the canvas size to pixels wide and pixels high. Make sure that you're in RGB mode. And set the canvas content color to white. Once that's done, click 'Ok'. Open up the newly exported DDS file in your image editor.
If asked, load default sizes and do not generate MIPmaps. Note: If you get an image that looks like the one below, then you accidentally generated the MIPmaps. Return to blank canvas from Step 1 and click paste, then before doing anything else click on new layer this is found on the dialoge box, it's the first icon which runs along the bottom doing this will stop the layer from floating but anchor it down instead. Open up your stencil image in another window.
Find the layer tool box and make a duplicate of the background layer right-click on the layer. You can name the new layer if you want, but it's not that important--we are merely making a temporary backup of the layer.
If the Layers, Channels, Paths, Undo dialog isn't on your screen, press ctrl-L to make it appear, select the layer by clicking on it, and then the third icon from the right at the bottom, which duplicates that layer. Hide the main background layer the one we made a duplicate of , then using the Magic Wand select all of the unnecessary background colors in the image and delete them. In my case I'll select all of the white area around the smiley face.
You may have to use the Eraser Tool to get some of the finer spots or you can adjust the tolerance on the magic wand. GIMP Users: Hide the main background layer the one we made a duplicate of by clicking the image of the eye in the layers pane next to the main background layer.
Then on the duplicate layer as described above get rid of the unecessary background colours. When you're done, you can get rid of the main background layer by selecting it and clicking the trashcan icon in the bottom right of the layers pane or by right clicking it and selecting delete layer.
Then, make a copy. Now is a good idea to go ahead and save your clean stencil image just in case you need it again later. GIMP Users: Use the crop tool which looks like a hobby knife to draw a box around the part of your image you'd like to keep plus or minus a few pixels, use the drag handles to resize it if needed, and then click in it to simply throw out all that blank canvas.
This will make resizing your stencil image much easier in just a moment. GIMP Users: There's an icon of an engineering compass between the magnifying glass and the four-way arrow in your toolbox which represents the measuring tool. If you want to be sure your decal is the right size, use the measuring tool to measure the width or height of the area you'd like the decal to occupy on the clothing.
This is why we discarded the extra canvas earlier. Copy and paste the stencil image into the blank canvas we created a few moments ago. Next go to the window with the shirt mesh texture and copy and paste it into the blank canvas as well. Arrange the layers so that the mesh texture is under the stencil image. Return to the original file the one with the blank background as one layer and the DDS file as another layer then click paste. As before, before doing anything else click on new layer which will stop the layer from floating but anchor it down instead.
NET Users: Create a new layer, then paste the stencil image into the previously created blank canvas. We're going to use the shirt base texture as a guide so make sure that it fills up the entire canvas which it should by default and do NOT move it in fact, it's a good idea to go ahead and lock this layer for now. First let's erase some of the white left over at the bottom of the smiley face, then we'll resize it to fit on the shirt.
Tip: See the black area on the mesh where the neck will be? Once you have your image sized to your liking, place the image on the shirt texture guide. Remember, the left half of the texture is the front of the shirt whereas the right is the back.
I want my smiley face smack-dab in the middle but you can choose to place your stencil anywhere you want. And, I don't know why this picture turned grey-scaled When dealing with TS3 files, everything revolves around the four color channels: red, blue, green and alpha. Red, blue and green are created automatically but the Alpha channel is the one we may have to create manually.
There are many ways to create the Alpha channel so if you know an easier route than the one that I'm using, feel free to do it your way. Do not follow the 9 steps below as that is for photoshop users only who have to manually create an alpha channel, GIMP automatically creates it for you.
