Hi all,

As the title states, I'm wondering how to create tattoo- or scar- or whatever-maps that can be used with any texture:

What I want to end up with is this:

I load a figure (M4 or V4 eg) and apply the desired (clean) texture. Then I apply the tattoo-texture and as a result, the tattoo shows up on the intended spot, leaving the rest of the clean texture unaltered.

I was thinking that for this, I need the template files from the figure at hand. On this template, I draw the tattoo, or scar or whatever where it should be. If I leave the rest of the template alone, it will be imported as a transparent texture, barring the area that I painted on. Is that correct?

If so, how do I make the "texture-overlay" of the tattoo show up in my poses-folder so I can apply it as I would do with a normal texture?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Peevee
