* [ ] A drawing software like Clip Paint Studio, Photoshop or [photopea.com](https://www.photopea.com/)
* [ ] Some time and patience to create scars
## Step 1 : Settings up
### 1.1 Create a [Wolvenkit project](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/usage/wolvenkit-projects) and give it a name
KS\_UV project name should be `005_modname`
VTK project name should be `000_modname`
### 1.2 Add the correct files
1. Head to the [Overlay textures by framework](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/npcs/custom-tattoos-and-scars/converting-between-tattoo-frameworks/overlay-list.md) page and find the correct files for your framework (VTK or KSUV).
{% hint style="info" %}
For a scar, you need a **diffuse, normal,** and **roughness map.**
{% endhint %}
2. Find them by navigating the [Wolvenkit Asset Browser](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/editor/asset-browser) to the path, or by using the [search](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/usage/wolvenkit-search-finding-files)
3. Add them to your project by double-clicking on the entries in the Asset Browser
4. Use the [Export Tool](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/tools/tools-import-export#export-tool) to export them
5. In your Project Explorer's [Raw view](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/editor/project-explorer#raw), find the png files and click on the folder icon next to one to show them in Windows Explorer.
6. Save the files in a new folder.
7. Open all of them on a drawing software like photoshop, clip studio paint or [photopea.com](https://www.photopea.com/)
## Step 2 : Scar creation
