Make back skin tattoo on my model

foxyfoxfurries

Hello!
I saw some idea how to make it like the the body layer in photoshop and make any tattoo I want in my model easily but the problem I want it on the middle back , The middle back is a part of two sides as I notice (maybe I wrong) and it's tricky a little bit?
For example I want the same tattoo here just in japanese latters and in the middle not in the side. have any good way to do it? or if have some to buy I will love to know , Thanks ^^

If you want to do it in the middle of the back it will be tricky.

It will be over the seams and you need to align left and right side precisly or there will be a jump in the middle.

Furthermore the UV map at the edges is curved so you also have to match that on both sides.

I would say making tattoos crossing the seam should be done in a 3D painting app, where you can project the tattoo and it will be painted on both sides simultaneously.

If it just is for your own use, I would suggest using a decal.

If you know Blender, you can easily paint the tattoo texture on the Torso / Body surface of Genesis figure (ss 1 ~ 2) and bake texture maps for being used with Layered Image Editor. Search some tutorials on youtube.

Yes, pretty easy. You may check this simple tutorial : https://youtu.be/LmeC5CAP4Sg?si=xhNKiYb1rgfWmmhr

You'll benefit from learning the skill and that's totally free... (oh, you have to prepare the kanji japanese samurai letters beforehand)

But if you don't want to touch Blender, using a Decal node will also do .

Maybe I will download blender really didn't try it before , I try with photoshop to the body texture but it hard because you need to make it exactly without missing hehe.
About the "using a Decal node will also do" what you mean?

Because the surfaces of Body / Arms / Legs have unique UV layouts, it'll be very cumbersome to make seamless tattoo / stencil textures on them with 2D Image Editor...

Here's a tutorial of using Decal Node: https://youtu.be/dbHp8WKwZsc?si=WtXUQtZSwqkTwbgQ

It's just a Wearable Preset... like using clothing.
