link to take 2 of this (it's SLOWER!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVVtg1WfGws&feature=channel_page link to written tutorial with pics on IMVU's forum: http://www.imvu.com/catalog/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpbb2&file=viewtopic.php&t=175797 the video is going fast because i didnt want it to go over the max time, which i think i would have in real time. i suggest you watch it, then go back and watch again, looking at the written instruction and pressing pause when needed. http://avatars.imvu.com/quixotickane ~*~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: http://omgitzkane.deviantart.com/ ~*~tutorial by kane~*~ http://360.yahoo.com/ckane360 earn IMVU credits at metaRL.com, click the link: http://www.metarl.com/register.php?referral=quixotickane
