[Texture] Any tutorial about tanlines?

[Kargrin]

Hello all, I'm looking for any tutorial about making tanlines in body meshes.

Not using a tanline texture, I'm trying to learn the process of making a brand new tanline texture.

Any information about the matter is welcome. Thank you.

You can try vertext painting but I have no idea if that will work for Skyrim;  just use the smallest brush size and paint 'a bikini' directly onto the body meshes.  That way the tan lines would be there regardless of the texture used.  Getting the brush strokes to line up exactly on both the _0 and _1 meshes will be a major chore.

Understood, thanks. I'm somehow doing that, painting a texture over the body mesh in blender, but my hands are shaky as hell lol. I'll have to touch it up on photoshop I guess.
