VaM 1.x How make tattoо

[WAEF]

I’ve got a tattoo saved as a PNG file. But when I try to slap it on in-game just by adding it as a decal, it ends up looking all messed up because of the body’s surface details.
Is there any way to import my tattoo into the game as a proper skin instead of just a flat picture?

Have you try https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/decal-maker.196/ It more easy than editing a texture outside VAM.

I am not sure what you mean with "body's surface details", i guess the uv mapping/distortion?

Additionally to LubaFoto's great answer you can also use tools like Substance Painter (especially for texture work, ~200 bucks, need to learn the app) or a graphics program (free paint.net would be enough), there are 2 guides for that here on the hub:

Just a quick guide and attached is a template I made for creating torso tattoos. There might be a better way to make these, but I use Paint.NET to create all of the 300 torso tattoos. I created a template that has reference points on the body...

Guide to creating tattoos for Vam - Guides -

Hi Guys, I have got quite a lot of request to create a guide for how i am creating the wrap around seamless tattoos. I couldnt create a video tutorial, but here is a rough guide on how to do it. Tools Used - Gimp - Photoshop - Substance Painter...

Decal Maker is great (i just published an image pack for it on the hub yesterday), but you will still have the problem of some distortion at specific regions because of the way the mapping from 2d image to 3d geometry works.

As an alternative i could create the correct decals for you if you send me links or the images.
