Tips for Colors


Tips for Colors

Caution: the Preview is available for facilitation purposes and


may insignificantly differ from the rendered texture map,
especially when texture is semi-transparent and functions'
parameters are set on extremes.

Tip 1
If you want to change colours of laces and meshes from
black to white and vice versa, remember that half-transparent
textures are the hardest to show in preview and that additional
to do this change you will need to set functions to extremes so
the preview can be a bit different from rendering result.
For better result set Contrast to minimum and then set
Brightness to appropriate value (to minimum if you change from
white to black, and to maximum if you change from black to
white).

Tip 2

To change colours of black and white clothes you will need


Brightness and RGB functions.
Remember that increasing RGB can cost you the change of
shadow colour. Decreasing values of RGB do not change
shadows.
To change the colour of the white clothes decrease value of
some of RGB functions and after that set appropriate for you
brightness.
There are two ways to change the colour of the black clothes.
First: increase Brightness and after that decrease values of
some of RGB functions. Second: increase values of some of
RGB functions. In second case you need to be careful because
this method can change the colour of shadows.

Tip 3
To copying of functions' values between clothes select the
clothes from which you want to copy. Right click on it and select
Copy then select the clothes to which you want to past right
click on it and select past.
