This is a fully layered out detailed template of the lootbag texture. Even the medium and large toolkit textures can use this.
I made this while working on my [Unique Loot mod](https://modworkshop.net/mod/27711) Feel free to check that out!
**Big Update That includes AO layers for better quality. Please read the instructions below if you don't know how to use it**
Some explanation on how to use this template is necessary.
1. **The final layer, the underlay**: Do not touch it until you are done making duplicates for every color you have on your bag. The reason is because you'll be channel mixing to make each underlay a near-same color as the different overlays. thusly, you'll be doing some cutting out of the part of each underlay that match the overlays with color. For gimp that's right clicking the layer and hitting alpha to selection, then going back to the overlay that matches the color, and cutting it out. This allows you to refine the colors and make them more vibrant.
2. Every part of the bag is separated and labeled as logically as I could come up with. But every layer of the template is the **AO overlay**. So you will be using channel mixer (or the photoshop equivalent) to make the color of each part what you want it. Thanks to it already being an AO overlay, it's already the right level of transparency to lay over the underlay. You're welcome. Though, if you wish to still make it more or less transparent, thats your choice.
3. If you add logos or text, it will take away from the AO overlay. So as a work-around there is a full version of the AO Overlay named.. well.. AO Overlay. Use that similarly to the underlay by making it the color you want your text, your logo, etc. Then select the outline of your text/logo layer, and cut it out of the AO Overlay, and drag it up above the accompanying layer the logo goes over. Then simply hide the original logo. This makes a cut out of your logo from the AO. Neat huh?
4. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
I hope you enjoy this template ^~^
**(ALSO I UPLOADED AN XCF FILE FOR GIMP WITH NO COMPRESSION SO YOU NEED THE LATEST VERSION. THE PSD FILE IS FOR PHOTOSHOP SO GIMP USERS YOU DO NOT NEED IT)**
Update 2.0 Added a lossless Ambient Occlusion layer as well as replacing the template layers with lossless AO layers to make a nice lossless bag possible.
Update 2.1 Fixed this AO because I did not copy the normalmap properly the first time. Apologies.
*Little addition of the labels at the request of a user. Easy to turn off and on*
Update 2.2 Added back the original template layers under the AO layers so that selecting those portions are easier. <3
Update 2.5 Split the sides from the side edges so that you can add more detail around those edges rather than relying solely on the side zippers for a transition.
Free to use. While I don't expect it or enforce it, if you do upload a texture that you made with my template, it would mean a lot if you credit me. <3
