Description

In this exercise we take a look at using GIMP for MacOS to paint a hair texture for use in games (User Generated Content). To paint simple hair textures for use as game assets all that’s needed is a paint brush that can paint streaks, lines or similar linear pattern. Using layers, these can be built up to form different independently managed tones; dark shading, mid-tones and highlights, that can then be colour tinted overall, or individually.
