Basics of creating a preset!
« on: August 01, 2018, 07:14:04 pm »
Hello, today im gonna teach some basic to create a preset!
You will firtly need a program with layers and transparent like:
Gimp
MS Paint
FireAlpaca
and other
What you need to do is download a color me https://www.deviantart.com/some-art/art/Color-Me-Now-Easy-FH-Preset-192462933
Now after downloaded it, you will open it and copy them and paste it to the FH folder>My_preset> Any folder.
They're all named ''YourName'' Rename it whatever you want, go to the coding note and replace the number 9 to the number of the folder you putted the files, now change the ''YourName'' to the name you putted it the png.

My folder used for my preset
Note with the coding of mine

{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit

   }
}
material preset_4_headMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture Preset_4Head_Left.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_headMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture Preset_4Head_Right.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_eyeMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture Preset_4Eyes_Left.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_eyeMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture Preset_4Eyes_Right.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_tailMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture Preset_4Tail.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_maneMat
{
    technique
    {
                pass
                {
                ambient 0.8 0.8 0.8
               cull_hardware none
               cull_software none
                alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
                texture_unit
                       {
                                texture Preset_4Hair.png
            }
        }
    }
}

Now, you shall open your app to color the images  ;D
I will use FireAlpaca
Open your image to color and add a layer like this

If you want to add a downloaded texture then open the texture in another window, copy it and paste it in the preset that is going to be colored,also put the texture layer into multiplication

Now color it! (Same with the other images)

Loading...

Done? Okay! Now delete the layer with the guide lines and save the changes! c:
