Creating a new texture

erzane

Hi,
how to create a new texture pls ?
A striped one for the example, which I could put on an edge with curves (like on attached pic bellow), without puting black color, and after yellow, and black and yellow, etc.. by normal way.

perhaps this new colors could be called a ''non flat color'' or ''texture'' ?
ot perhaps, need I export it from photoshop ?

I hope my explanation is understadable

thanks

You can easily make a striped .png file image in Gimp or Photoshop - it needs to 'tile' - top edge joins onto bottom edge and right edge onto left edge etc.

Use that image as a texture in a custom material.

Now apply the material it to your surface[s].

It might work as a projected-texture, otherwise use one of the freely available UV mapping tools and 'map' it onto your surfaces so it 'flows' across its facets...

Hi TIG
when you say ''Use that image as a texture in a custom material.''

It's not so hard...

Make a new material.
Edit it and there are options to add a texture.
Find the image and use it.
Adjust its size etc as desire...

Then you can export that Material as a SKM file for reuse from a 'material collection' in any SKP later on...
