Straight Stripes?

[LordSuragaha]

I've had this problem too many times before...

I'm trying to get straight stripes around this character's back and front legs but everytime I try to do it this is what happens:




Here is how I colored the file:


Anyone know a method to getting straight stripes around legs?

because of how the model is formed, unfortunately they do not go straight. X3 You know the UV references you get in your preset folder? Open the one for the body as a new layer (F or C depending on feline or canine) and where the lines are by the legs, for the stripes, follow the horizontal lines across there. The stripes will look mis-shaped and different sizes, but on the model, they will look even. If you need a picture showing what I mean I can make one for ya cause I can't explain well. xD

Aye, what Genny is saying though, you just follow the UV, like so;


And although it'll be crooked there, when ingame it'll be straight;

Makes sense. I can try that. Thanks guys. One last thing though, it's been a while since I've used the UV like a guide. How do I can the transparent UV on my preset so I can use it as a guide and then delete that layer? I did it twice before but the layering thing always confuses me on GIMP. I appreciate the help guys.

Ah, That helped aswell. XD Thanks.

In gimp, there'll be an option to 'Open as a layer', click that then find the UV guide you want and voila. Then you can delete the layer afterwards. cx It'll keep the transparency and sturf aswell so you dun' have to edit it.
