Before using this tutorial I want you to read and do Sinastra's In Depth Clothing Re- Texturing Tutorial for the TSR Workshop, if you don't know how to retexture yet!
New bumpmaps for clothing with the TSR Workshop Tutorial
Welcome to my "New bumpmaps for clothing with the TSR Workshop" tutorial. Before we begin, I assume you have read Sinastra's wonderfull In Depth Clothing Re-Texturing Tutorial for the TSR Workshop. Therefore I stress that this tutorial will not learn how to manipulate DDS files in any way.
This tutorial will help you get rid of the old bumpmaps and teach you how to create new ones with TSR Workshop. Re-texturing is new to me so this tutorial will not be perfect. I hope it still helps you with learning how to create new items for The Sims 3 without those hideous old bumpmaps.
1: Let's get started!
As stated before I assume you have done Sinastra's tutorial. When you have finished it you sometimes (depending on the base mesh you used to retextured) see an old bumpmap showing trough in the game. Darn... Al that work just to see it being ruined by a bumpmap!
Well when I had the same problem (See pic above!), I fooled around and found a solution! I'll teach you how you can get New bumpmaps for clothing with TSR Workshop.
So, when you have retextured a mesh you should have a new Overlay, a new Clothing Multiplier, a new Clothing Specular. Here is my example dress with all these in TSR Workshop with my new DDS files next to it!
You have to import these DDS files in the right places.
To do this click "key:numbers" (in bold in TSR Workshop next to Overlay, Mask, Multiplier and Clothing Specular), there will appear three dots, click them and select import in the new window.
Your New Overlay must be entirely black.
On to the next part! -->
