Hey Community,

i am always in the beginning of learning DAZ 3D. I am doing Photoshop as a professional for over 20 years. Now in my mid-age :-D i want to try something other. For now i am able to create characters in a basic way, which is - with the help of tutorials - not that hard (in the very basics). My goal is to understand how i create myself textures. I couldnt find out where to start with this. Are there templates out there? Actually i want to try to make a textures for a jeans. I went through the runtime folder and checked textures for existing clothes. But i don't get it...

Can someone of you point me in the right direction? As i said i dont know where to start at.

Thanks ;-)

    Items from Daz should have templates on the Product Library page. Which version of Photoshop are you using? I thought the current ones had basic 3D painting tools.

    Right now i am using Photoshop 2020. Can you tell me please where to look for the templates and what format they are? Or are these simple jpg Files?

    thanks

    I'm not sure thats true at the moment when I looked for a template for an item the other day I couldn't find it at all and had to create my own.

    I wasn't sure, hence the "should" - which would have been better with emphasis.

    Blender will produce templates, but it's not the tool I use so I'm not sure of the steps. Photoshop 2020 certainly has some kind of 3D painting, but again I am unsure of the details (and don't know if it can produce templates). This looks like a starting point https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/3d-painting-photoshop.html
