Skinning & Shading

[dylan22]

Hey guys, I've been tryin to work this out for ages but I haven't been able to so Im going to be a n00b and ask.

When im putting graphics on a bike or skin (in GIMP) how do I get it so the graphics or whatever im making goes under the shading instead of on top of it?

Hope someone can help.

Cheers.

place your graphics layers below your shading layers in the layers pallete.

hmm but whn i save it and open it again. all the layers are combined and its just one layer

Go to Windows, Dockable dialogs, then click layers. Or you can hit ctrl+L. This usually works on templates. When you've done that, find the layer with shading done on it. Click the visibility on it to make it invisible, then put your graphics on it, then make it visible again and it should show your graphics under the shading. And the shading might be in different parts, Shrouds. front fender, rear fender etc. Good luck!
