View Full Version : lip bump
Ikari 07-17-2003, 05:03 AM huhu
i've got a problem:
i modeled a fine looking female head, but now the textures get me crazy.
i dont have any money to buy bodypaint or so ;) so i cant use it (if it were possible)
the problem is i'm trying to make a bumpmap to put on that typical lip relief humans have on that womans lips. i tried to take pictures of real lips and make them procedural, dunno what i tried, but it wont work. right now i'm trying it for about 3 or 4 days and i dont get it.
can snyone help? thx :D

hi, so you don't have BodyPaint... but do you have Photoshop or ny other image editing software? if so then i highly recommend going over to www.plugincafe.com and getting yourself UV2BMP, this will allow you to create an image with the uv's all nicely drawn on it, for a guide, and all you need to do from there is paint the bits on as you please.
if you don't fancy that then what i suggest is using selections and the free dirtynuts tool, again from plugincafe. just use it's vertexmap mode, and make selecion areas using vertex maps, then select the same area again with teh poly tool, only grow it one row larger, and apply your material to that area. in the alpha channel use dirtynuts vertexmap, and in dirtynuts vertexmap choose the vertexmap you want your texture to go through and you're done (the reason to use vertexmaps is that it's soft edges, unlike straight poly selections, and the reason to have the poly seleciton there is jsut for placement in the 3d view).
anyhow happy texturing :)
