Customize Peds Part 4

Step 4 - Adding Drawables and Textures

In this step we add 1 hairstyle drawable from Ada B to Ada A, renaming it 002. We then bring the odd file back into Open IV to create a new YDD file for our ped Ada A. This is simply done, once we've completed our renaming/edits, by dragging and dropping the .odd file back into OpenIV. We don't worry about the folders, OpenIV will take care of the updating process as in the video below.

In our final step, we will now import the texture for the hairstyle drawable we just added. The texture will also include the specular (spec) and normal map textures. These last steps will be entirely done in Open IV with the ytd files. Of course you can create your own textures using an image editor like Photshop or GIMP or even Microsoft Paint.

Drawables can have many textures, but we will keep this simple by only adding one texture. In the Final Product step, we will see a finished product with multiple drawables and multiple textures.
