**Top 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.
