Pick your favorite jeans transparency map. Open in your paint program. "Save As" new file name. Use PSP or Photoshop custom brushes for hair (instructions for creating your own available on Kozaburo's site) to create a crosshatch pattern using a light grey color in the areas you want to appear worn or white where you want holes. The lighter the color, the more of a hole rather than a worn spot. Use this transmap with the transparency settings just as you would any other map. Voila' (or Viola, as my son would say). You can make realistic looking cutoffs or frayed hems this way too. I'd offer the ones I use, but they are derived from other people's maps, and I'd be uncomfortable posting them without being able to remember whose they were... If you don't have any transmaps for jeans, you can get the texture template from the CD and paint on another layer above it, then fill with black. That works too. Good luck, and show us what you do!
