How to Make Custom Eye Textures (Splatoon SFM)

in this video I'm going to show you how to make custom eye textures for inklings octolings or while pretty much anus platoon model and what you need is of course sfm vtaf edit and some kind of editing program like Photoshop paint.net or yeah anything like that so I'm assuming you already have the models and if not go to the workshop and get them so I'm going to right click and add a new model and search for inklinger or boy or whatever I'll go with the basic one so to begin with I'm gonna just adjust the eyes there we go so since we're gonna edit the textures it doesn't matter which eye you choose in the beginning you see here I have blue eyes but it doesn't matter you can choose any so what we're gonna do to make this easier we're gonna right click and show game model in Explorer and that will bring this up and this shows where you have the model and from here it's easier to find where the texture is so as you see here we are in Workshop models prop Splatoon 2 and inkling girl so what we're gonna do is go back to where workshop and go to materials instead then scroll down to models right here prop Splatoon 2 inkling boy and then which color you want to edit and I'm gonna go with the orange and then here inkling eye orange and make sure it's dot vtf because that is the texture file and what we're going to do since I have BTF edit installed as you can see by the icon I'm just going to double click to open it and here we have it and to make this as simple as possible I'm gonna press Ctrl C to copy it or if you click here copy and then I'm gonna open up paint.net and then paste it in and then make sure to go up here and crop the selection and if you want to know how to edit I have a couple tutorials on paint.net so you can check them out but for now I'm just gonna use one of my existing textures so here we have one of them which I'm working on which will probably be the thumbnail of this video so now I have our texture and this is really important thanks Larry for telling me and I think she heard it from Florida but anyway what you have to do is go to properties on the layer and turn down the opacity to 5 yes it's weird you can barely see it at all but it is there and now you can save it so go to file and save as but make sure you save it as a PNG file because otherwise you will not have the transparency which is crucial for this so make sure it's a PNG and I'm just gonna name it Paul guys yeah and then okay so here we have the ice and it doesn't look like much but you can see it's there it's very you can barely see it but it is there so now I have to go to vtf edit and click file and import and then locate the file and then here Paul guys and this is also important make sure the alpha format is set to dxt3 so basically just copy what I have here and click ok so now we have the eye here and now we can save it so file and save as and just save it somewhere so I'm gonna name it Paul guys again so here I have it so now go back to your file explorer and if you closed it you have to go to your drive steam steam apps common and Source Filmmaker and for those who are already here just click on Source Filmmaker here so you can go back here and then game and now we're gonna save the textures and I'd suggest saving it in user mod materials models and make a folder here and since I already have one I'm just going to use my folder here for Oliver and then paste it in like that so now we can go back to sfm and try it out so you shouldn't have to restart sfm but if you run into an issues try restarting but you shouldn't have to at least so now what we're going to do is right click on the model add override materials then right click again show in admin viewer model then expand materials and here eyeball L and Eyeball are expand these and right click on them add attribute and pick string and then type in dollar sign Iris and here you're going to type in the location of your texture and for me it's uh models fall over and the name of the texture so I'm gonna type in models backslash fell Oliver backslash POG ice and there we go look at that looks pretty good and then the same thing for the right one so right click add attribute string type in dollar sign Iris if I can spell it Iris and then type in the same thing I'm just gonna copy it to save time and there we go so that's how to make your own eye textures and if you want to know how to make custom textures for the clothes I also have a tutorial for that and also other tutorials so check them out and that's all I have to say so thanks so much for watching and bye [Music] [Music] all right
