So recently I was inspired by Peacemaker ic @ peacemaker-ic.tumblr.com/
Who wouldn't be his stuff is to die for. On his FAQ page he described what programs he uses to make his stuff. I decided to give it a whirl. I have learned a whole new appreciation for his CC, because it's time consuming.
So found some stuff in Scketch-up did the whole export and import into Blender. I kind of used the same steps for converting Sims 3 to Sims 4 for this part and making the shadow mesh. I spent hours laying out my unwrapped UV.
Imported it all into S4S, tested in game and it worked!
But here's where I'm a bit stumped, the texture. I looked at Peacemaker s files and I see that he bakes them and if I wanted to recolor his stuff I can simply place my color over his texture set my color as Overlay (in photoshop CC17) and I would have a new color with all of his details.
So do you just draw the details onto the texture in PS you know like the trim on doors? Or is there something I'm missing. I understand how to do the knobs with actually knob images.
When I make CC for CAS I use real photos to create the texture but it doesn't seem like it's the same for Objects.
Anyways here's the package file any help, tip and or suggestions would be appreciated. Oh and FYI I know you can add details with normal and spec layers but for the life of me I can't get the hang of making them. lol
Package
Also how do you print screen of the image in S4S?
