Creating denim is pretty easy one you get the hang of it. I'll be using this sis3D mesh. First create your opacity for the jeans. With this mesh you do not need to change the map if you want to go for waist high jeans. For this one I have lowered the waistband slightly.
One your opacity is update in the client, its time to start with a base color. For this, I'll be using a basic blue.
Next we'll add some noise. As per the texture tutorial go to Filters>Noise>RBG noise. Deselect RBG Noise and then click OK. Next go to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur, leave the default settings and click OK. We'll add some lines to the texture now, this will help to create a denim fabric effect. Create a new layer and in your layers box you will see fill options. Click and drag the larger of the lines options onto the canvas.
Once you have dragged the lines to the canvas, click the rotate tool and rotate the lines on a diagonal angle.
Now we will bump map the lines. Click Filters>Map>Bump Map. Adjust the waterlevel and ambient levels until you can see the lines.
Click ok, hide the lines layer and you should have something similar to this:
Now update the client and check out the basic denim texture.
From here, you can add your seams. I use the Paths Tool to create these. Starting with the side seam, we will click and drag a guideline from the side of the canvas.
Drag this line to the middle of the texture, this is the side of the leg.
From here, on a new layer, place the first dot at the top of the white part of the opacity on the line. Place the second dot at the bottom of the map on the line. Click stroke path, change your line width to 1 and click Stroke. You should end up with a single line down the middle.
Next using the same process, without the guidelines, we'll continue to create the remaining seams and pocket outlines.
Once you've applied the seams, update the client. You will need to create two of these for use in this mesh. In the second texture I left out the front and back seams as well as the zipper seam.
Now it's time to add your shadows, highlights, wrinkles, buttons and any other details you wish to add. Refer to the previous tutorials on how to do these. This basic denim process can also be used on a variety of colours.
Look at you go! You've created your first denim texture. I love to see your progess, send me pictures of your creations to be featured on my website. Happy Creating!
P.S. I had included pictures in good faith to help you on your creating journey. Please do not steal my textures, creating your own is much more satisfying. Stealing my texture will result in a DMCA complaint lodged against you and I would hate for it to come to that.
