i wanna make a skin for one of the charecter but instead of changing the color of the unit i wanna chance the whole look complelty

wat i mean is i got a picture of a blue bandanna and i wanna make the char whole body look like it


the problem is how can i make that pic take over the .dds file in phototshop without losing the form of the unit? if that makes any sence

like when i load the skin file i get (some) have spaces and the shape of a tank or char and when i add the pic i want it takes over the whole space i want it just to cover the picture and not the spaces like warping the pic around the body or somthing if that make sence?

please help this is a photoshop question

The cheesy way to do it would be to have the bandanna on a layer above the texture and change its blending. Though, you will not get the look you want (most likely). The best way to do it is to get the polygon lasso tool, zoom in, and outline the shape of the texture. Then select your bandanna layer, and click 'Selection->Inverse', then hit your delete key.

I'd cut out the bandanna, And place it around the head..

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

Actually, it makes no difference what-so-ever if you cover the whole texture or not, since only parts of the texture have been assigned to the unwrap UVW's.

You can create an unwrap, and texture the whole thing, but only the parts inside the unwrapped area are applied to mesh.

So, create a new layer, add the image you want ontop of all the other layers, and save to .dds and load in your data folder. Unless you want to spend time not needed to spend on cutting out the shape.
