Overlaying a tattoo on a uv map

[nomorehuman]

Hey, everybody.
The question is: how to put a tattoo on the uv map, so that in the game it is not distorted? I mean if we put it just as it is on the uv map (picture 1) it will be distorted in the game on the character's body (picture 2). In the tattoo mods that I downloaded I saw that the tattoo textures are pre-distorted to adapt to the curves of the character's body  and in the game already look great (picture 3,4 - cuffs from Captive Tattoos). How is this done? In Photoshop or in Blender? Is there some kind of guide on how to do this? I couldn't find one. The only thing I could get to is to do a free transformation of the tattoo layer in Photoshop and then stretch the control points along the lines of the uv map. Is there any easier way or more automated way to have the tattoo automatically applied taking into account the curves of the character's body?

 

English is not my first language, I'm writing using an automatic translator.

I used Mudbox.

 

I wanted to link you to the Youtube tutorial that I followed but apparently the author deleted her channel.

 

You have to load the female body in Mudbox. It is called FemaleBody.nif and is in Data\Mesheshes\Actors\Character\Characterassets

Thanks, mate. I'll give it a try. If you happen to find that tutorial, that would be marvellous.

But the question is still open, if anyone else knows any other good way I'd love to hear.

Yes, that's the one! I wasn't finding it on the Youtube search engine and I thought she deleted it. 🙌
