I’m wanting to apply a series of tattoos to a character model I’m working on. Normally I’d do this in photoshop (I can mask out a pattern or a stencil but lack a number of layer options, ability to stroke the edge of a design to make it clearer and so forth). I’m curious to know how people approach using zapplink to texture around, say, an arm or anything that would require switching views but making sure the added pattern doesn’t fade out in place, align badly or so forth.
Any suggestions? This doesn’t have to be a tattoo of course, it could be design on a pillar, painting on a log… Anything really that you can’t do with just a painted on mask and a colour wash.
