### **UV Layout / Texture preview**

### Texturing

Based on the provided references, you’ll be creating 2 separate textures: 

* Top (torso and hands)
* Bot (legs). 

{% hint style="info" %}
Each texture should have a resolution of **585х559**. It should be provided in **png** format with transparent background **(alpha-channel)**.

### Export

You should finally have 2 textures - top and bot.&#x20;

* The images below are screenshots of the contents of the top and bot folders.&#x20;

**Top folder**

**Bot folder**

### List of files required:

* **Texture preview**: a PNG file like the one you would upload to Roblox. This is used for preview
* **Paint layers**: PNG files each of which contains a colored section of your outfit. An outfit usually contains 2+ of these.
* **Mask layer**: a PNG file that helps Customuse determine where the outfit ends. It’s important when a user tries to add an image on top of an outfit
* **Non-paint layer**: \[optional] an additional layer added to improve contrast and shadows, This is the shading layer.
* **Source file**: PSD file, if you use paint.net export TGA.
