~*~tutorial~*~ IMVU hair texture with GIMP
this video begins with the product page of the hairstyle i was derving from:
(J)DOLLY BROWN
By jamie625
this hairstyle has 3 materials, i used the same texture for all 3.
this is the video version of my 1st tutorial, we will see how it goes.
i couldn't find a tutorial on how to do this that worked for me, so i just experimented and tried to follow what i was seeing done in photoshop. it works better in some meshes than others. let's do this....
1. make a new image
2. fill with dark color
*i used a light blue in the video
3. take a soft brush and make a line or lines across in a lighter color
*in the video, i used royal blue vertical lines to make it look like streaks
4. repeat step 3 with a smaller brush using a lighter color
5. filters~ noise~scatter RGB. uncheck correlated noise and independent RGB. the slide bar should be 0.50ish.
6. filters~noise~ spread. put at max for your image size
7. filters ~blur~motion blur. angle @ 90, length @ 20
8. filters ~blur~ gaussian blur @ 1
9. sharpen to your liking
~now to add some shine~
9. make a new layer
10. take a soft brush and use white to brush a line or lines across
11. filters~ blur~gaussian blur @ 20ish
12. set this layer to overlay. you can play with the opacity to control the sheen look
if you want even more shine...
13. new layer
14. take the airbrush tool with a soft brush using white and make some lines across
15. run scatter RGB with the same settings used earlier
16. run spread with the previous settings
17. run motion blur, use the same settings as before
18. set this layer to overlay
woot yer done!
taa daa!
remember that things look duller in the previewer, you might not see a shine until you use the hair in a chat window. and as i said earlier, this works good great with some, but not all hairstyles. here's my catalog link: http://www.imvu.com/catalog/index.php?manufacturers_id=5472863
i did all my sunny bronze hairs using this technique, with little variations here and there
play around with the settings for different results.
well that's it. i hope this tutorial has been helpful Smile
i have this on my deviantart account as a .jpg in case any cares to download it. here's my link:
