Clothes Plaid/Checked textures questions

[Artemis Lavender]

Hi, i've been trying to design my own clothing but i seem to encounter a small problem. I try to apply a plaid texture on my photoshop file , it looks fine in photoshop but when i try to apply the whole texture on the model, the plaid lines looks distorted. ! I've tried 3D in photoshop but the lines keep being bended and distorted toward the sides. Please help me if u find any good tutorials out there about this problem :) ! Thankyou I would appreciate it :)

I put the plaid texture on the template, set its transparency to about 50% so I can see the template through the texture, line up the vertical lines of the plaid along the lines of the template and distort them that way using a warp filter.

I know it's an old-fashined way. :matte-motes-big-grin-squint:

It is more of a problem with us women. Particularly those who are "chesty". (not me). The boobs can really cause distortion on the sides. Most of the tops I make do not have patterns at that level. I use solid colors. However, I add designs, particularly floral patterns, on tops below the boobs and on skirts. That was the distortion doesn't happen that much.

Yeah, it's just something you have to work around, especially on the female mesh. Often I'll use the warp tools to make a floral pattern smaller/finer around the sides of the breasts and across the butt, because it warps so much... I would imagine the same thing happens with plaids.
