Hey guys. I finally started texturing peds and I'm immediately noticing some problems. After tweaking one for a while after noticing that the way the color looks in pain.NET doesn't exactly translate in game, I noticed that my ped looks super flat. Not like Flat Stanley, but like no creases, etc. Just flat, blob-ish green. How can I add some depth?

 

Also, I can add a screenshot if you'd like.

Silicone Injections about the area's that you want to enlarge. Not too much or they will get poisoning.

Have you painted it solid color?

Have you painted it solid color?

 

Yes, unfortunately. I figured that was my problem; I just don't know how to fix it. Maybe sprinkle some darker colors around, or should I start over?

In Photoshop, you can choose a brush mode called Color. I always use it for uniforms - it preserves detail while changing the color. I'm not sure whether there is a similar thing in Paint.NET though.

Ok, I fixed it using a new layer set to overlay, which kept the detail... but now when  I select the ped in game, it has no texture at all. The shape and everything is ok, but literally the entire texture is a tan/off white color.
