GIMP Camo Template

--GIMP (GNU IMAGE MANIPULATION PROGRAM) CAMO TEMPLATE --

Requires a . DDS Plugin to work,

Below is a tutorial on how to use this template, Olive Drab base recommended:

• []After obtaining the required software (GIMP and a . DDS Plugin) open the camo you wish to 'modify / add a pattern to' without Mip-Maps. []At this point, you should have a 2048x2048 canvas with your base texture on a single layer (You can generate Mip-Maps when finished.) []Now, take the pattern you wish to add, and either paste or import it onto a new layer, this layer should be above your default / base texture. []Then, open my . DDS file as a new layer, drag the template's layer to the top of the "Layers" tab, with your base texture at the very bottom. []Lastly, right click the template layer and choose to "Merge Down" causing your pattern and my template to become a single layer. []Finally, use the "Fuzzy Select Tool" to highlight the black areas one at a time and delete those portions using the "DELETE" Key.

After Deleting all of these black portions, you should now have to layers, the base texture you started with, and a perfect cutout of your pattern.

(Play around with cutout layer's modes to get the best effect. If using Olive Drab as a base, "Overlay" works very well!)

Merge the remaining layers together and you are finished, save your new texture with Mip-Maps and get to modding!

(Make sure to use the proper compression!)
