clothing question

Hi,

I am looking for some way that I would be able to put my own designs onto clothing mainly tshirts, is there any thing available for me to do so.

This may have already been asked, and I may even be in the wrong part of the forum, but I have just gone through 18 pages and couldn't find anything.

If any one could help me in this matter it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers and a 'Merry Christmas and Happy New Year'.

    You mean a pattern or graphic? You generally just need an image file to apply - either instead of or on top of the existing texture. Which application are you using?

    I cannot imagine that you never tried to 'paint' whatever image or pattern on a Tshirt.
    The textures are usually found in the Runtime textures folder.
    You can change them in every paint program.

    I have a feeling that the OP is referring to 'real' tee shirts and not just 3D images in a paint program.

    If that really is the case, here are some facts:

    You can get paper for both ink jet and toner based (laser) printers that will let you make iron on transfers. The ink in ink jet pictures is water soluble so you can only use the tshirt a couple of times before it washes out..

    Toner is basically melted plastic. I believe that the laser based transfers actually bond the toner to the tshirt. This MAY last longer, but I haven't really used it. I know of a commercial shop that actually used this process to create custom made tshirts.

    Many copy/printer businesses can do cloth based products as well as some of the on-line businesses like Cafe Press.

    Thank you for your comments, I know about printing iron on transfers and have done silk screen printing, however as far as 3d stuff is concerned I am a complete newbie and am still trying to get my head around the basics, the designs I am talking about are actually designs that I did on tshirts by hand a few years ago, since then they have been updated a bit.

    I will give you advice a try and once again thank you.
    Cheers, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
