Hello,
I'm doing a little project honoring my favorite Cosplayer "Yaya Han" as Baroness. I got everything I need to make it work. I just got one tiny problem. How do you actually put a logo on the clothes? If anybody know the answers please respond I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

    If you are a Daz Studio user, you should try using the Layered Image Editor. You can add the logo onto any clothing item you want with it. It will work best if it is a png file where there is no background, just the logo.

    Alternatively, if you're not too sure of how to use LIE — find the texture image that's being applied to the clothes, make a copy of this image, and open the copy you made of the texture image in your favourite paint program (Photoshop, GIMP, PaintShopPro, etc.). Layer the logo image on top of the copy of the texture (how you do it depends on which paint program you use), making sure that the unwanted border of the logo is completely masked out. Save the copy of the texture, then back in Poser or D|S, look at the materials for the clothes and change the texture to the copy you made with the added logo.

    A couple of gotchas; make sure you save the amended texture with quality set on "high", and remember to make a copy of the texture before you begin, then work on the copy. It's way too easy to accidentally overwrite the original texture image.

    Actually, there's a 3rd way of doing this.

    Make a texture of your logo on a white background in the position you want it, and save it as a .jpg. Then add it to the material in Diffuse Strength (NOT Diffuse Color - the original texture will be in Diffuse Color).

    Note that you won't see it till you render, but it's an easy way to add things without touching your original texture, and it allows you to move it about fairly easily by adjusting the logo position in your paint program. It also means you can add the same logo to different things.

    Also excellent for tattoos, etc.
