Since alot of friends and other users private message me with the same question about how to apply a fur texture on a preset here's my simple & small tutorial for you all. I'm using GIMP for this tutorial.

Say you've finished painting up your preset and it looks something like this:
(http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr347/aedgar09/FourPaws/Feral%20Heart%20album%201/0_zps3bbaa233.jpg)
Looks great so far right ;)? But after all that hard work you still feel like something is missing and you want to make it look more realistic and give it an extra little finishing touch to spice things up. How about adding a fur texture :D? Don't know how you say? Well here's how:

You'll want to start off by opening the texture in another window.The default fur texture of the game is located in your C:\>Feral Heart >Media>Textures. To find your texture click "File" then "Open" and "Local Disc C:/" on the left side corner of the window that opens then select your "Feral Heart" folder as shown below:
(http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr347/aedgar09/FourPaws/Feral%20Heart%20album%201/00_zps8e13bbd4.jpg)
Next select the "Media" folder:
(http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr347/aedgar09/FourPaws/Feral%20Heart%20album%201/0_zpsccec4ced.jpg)
Next select the "Textures" folder:
(http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr347/aedgar09/FourPaws/Feral%20Heart%20album%201/0a_zps9a0e000a.jpg)
Once in the "Textures" folder scroll through the list up until you find the correct texture for the part of the body you are trying to texture.
(For example in my image my preset is a canine and its the body I'm currently trying to texture so I select "cbodyshade". If I were trying to texture a canine's head though I'd select "cheadshade" or if I was working on a feline I'd select the "fheadshade" etc... It all depends on the model and what part of it's body you're working on)
(http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr347/aedgar09/FourPaws/Feral%20Heart%20album%201/0aa_zps7741dc50.jpg)
Select the appropriate texture & once you've got it open click copy on the fur texture:
(http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr347/aedgar09/FourPaws/Feral%20Heart%20album%201/0aa_zpsedc125d4.jpg)
Then paste it to your preset:
(http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr347/aedgar09/FourPaws/Feral%20Heart%20album%201/0fefaf0b10e65a36d09060de2cc1adfc-d4y0hle_zpsfd38bdad.jpg)
Once the fur texture is pasted to the preset it should look like this:
(http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr347/aedgar09/FourPaws/Feral%20Heart%20album%201/1_zps4abf21b1.jpg)
Once the texture is pasted to your preset go to your "Layers box" and click the "Mode" option that I circled in red on the pic and select "multiply". Once you multiply the layer over your preset you should end up with an image like below:
(http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr347/aedgar09/FourPaws/Feral%20Heart%20album%201/2_zpsa64b48d4.jpg)
Then all you have to do is save :3 and you're done. Do the same for all the other parts of your preset. If you have any questions feel free to private message me.

Post by: Lady_Alizarin on January 23, 2013, 12:56:28 am: Say.... that's very clever, Sura. :) I will have to use this trick whenever I make a preset for Alizarin Vixen, or some of my other characters. I can work on her preset in Adobe Photoshop, since that's what I have.

Post by: greenart6 on February 19, 2013, 10:22:53 am: I have one question: What file type to save as? The preset maker only supports jpg files I think and I can't save it as that.

Post by: UnderSiege0731 on October 20, 2013, 01:07:34 pm: This helps me out immensely! I'm new to feral heart and heard that with one of the new updates, other people can see your home made presets without needing to download it. So obviously this kicked my creative motor into high gear! Sadly I had no clue what I was doing..... And once again I find a post by YOU helping me out once again, thank you sooo much for the loads of help. You've made this confusing introduction to feral heart bearable

Post by: Jazz Never Dies on October 20, 2013, 05:38:10 pm: Or the eaiser way is to say "Open as Layers" and then find the shade, then Multiply. It's slightly faster/easier, but I guess it doesn't really matter xP

This is so much easier, I found another tutorial for this, and it made no sense at all.
Makes sense now, I was like: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I get it now x3

You're welcome hun. Feel free to message me if you need any further assistance.

As for Whispering well these are tutorial threads and users tend to bump these up often either asking for advice regarding the tutorial or just thanking others for them. Since I'm still very active also I don't mind the users bumping this as long as the conversation is still relevant.
