Tutorial - How To Make Tattoos..

Postby themelloman5423 on Sat Jun 11, 2005 3:29 pm

This is a tutorial on how to make tattoos for the players of NBA Live 2005.
Ill start off by saying that the better the pic of the tattoo reference the better the tattoo will come out. So ill start off with this pic of Sean Mays Tattoo:
Image
Crop out a little piece of the tattoo to be easier for you to make and create a new layer:
Image
Then zoom in to where you best can make it:
Image
Then grab the pen tool and start drawing the tattoo and then go to paths and hold Ctrl and click on where it says work path and it will be selected.
Image
Then go to Edit - Stroke - and use these settings:
Image
Then click ok and deselect by holding Ctrl and pressing D or going to Select - Deselect. Then youll get something like i have below:
Image
Now you see how theres some black inside of the tattoo selection we made. To color that use the pen tool and select the black inside part of the tattoo selection and then go to Edit - Fill and use these settings:
Image
Then use the pen tool and finish the tattoo and keep on doing the same thing and youll get something like this:
Image
When you're finished go to File - New - and use these settings:
Image
Now drag the layer where you made the tattoo on to the new document you just made and free-transform it until it looks similar to this:
Image
Now your done. Tto put the tattoo to a skin file drag the tattoo layer to the skin picture and set the tattoo layer to multiply and you're done:

Extract them with this tool. You can find skin files at /NBA LIVE 2005/sgsm/common folder. They are named xplrtex.viv.

open appearance dbf or players and change muscel texture number and color number
if your skin number is like 17 then changse color to 1 and musceltexture to 7 and but that skin file to the sgsm folder.
Just use FSHx editor to import that bmp on that fsh file and save.

Should I change the file name? or should I simply leave it as
skin00 or whatever the case may be?

I would give a try on this. Where can I get the program the guy used in the tutorial. I believe it's something that has to be paid for. Can anything else be used?
