Level of difficulty

The ability to read: mandatory, because I'm not gonna lie — this is gonna be difficult otherwise. Knowing how to use a drawing software : recommended, because this guide will not cover it.

Expected time to complete

<5 minutes to set up everything 5 minutes - s long as it takes you to create a scar that you like <5 minutes for the import/install

If you want to know how to make scars, I advise you to take a look at the tutorial "How to make a scar (tips for drawing)

Prerequisites

• You have Wolvenkit installed

• A drawing software like Clip Paint Studio, Photoshop or photopea.com

• Some time and patience to create scars

Step 1 : Settings up

1.1 Create a Wolvenkit project 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 page and find the correct files for your framework (VTK or KSUV).

For a scar, you need a diffuse, normal, and roughness map.

1. Find them by navigating the Wolvenkit Asset Browser to the path, or by using the search

2. Add them to your project by double-clicking on the entries in the Asset Browser

3. Use the Export Tool to export them

4. In your Project Explorer's Raw view, find the png files and click on the folder icon next to one to show them in Windows Explorer.

5. Save the files in a new folder.

6. Open all of them on a drawing software like photoshop, clip studio paint or photopea.com

Step 2 : Scar creation

This part is explained in this tuto : How to make a scar (tips for drawing)

Step 3 : Replacing and Importing

Check the corresponding step-by-step instructions here: How to create an overlay tattoo -> 5: Reimporting the texture

Do this for all of the files. If you install the mod, you should now be able to see your new scar!
