GIMP Version: 2.8.14
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Basic Level


Hi all, hope you're healthy and happy wherever you are.

I need your help yet again, but please be kind as I would be to you if you needed my help (sorry, the last time I was here, someone decided I was dumb and let his thought go from inside his head to the tip of his fingers - lol).

Anyway, I know Gimp is not Photoshop and I've learned quite a lot already...but I am trying to render some of my sketches with a pattern e.g. fill a sketch of an item of clothing with a pattern, but I want to be able to manipulate (warp) the selected pattern in the same direction as the body. I also want to scale the pattern to the size of the selected area. These were all things I was able to do in Photoshop, but I haven't yet figured out how to do it in Gimp. Basically I need the patterns to look realistic. As you can see from the image, my attempts at dodge and burn to make it 3D haven't really achieved the desired effect - the pattern is still flat and not really wrapping around in the contorns of the body.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

What you need to learn (which you can do in gimp) is to 'map' the pattern to the dress. I haven't learnt that myself yet but there are others here who know how. Ask how to map it to your dress. (Should keep your curves etc.)

Have you seen this video?
Here is another one by one of our members here

I think I did it with just the map - displace . With Gimp 2.10 and layers modes all the other stuff is included now (at least I think)

Just a suggestion: I use software called Manikan. It basically allows me to position a body into any contortion I wish. For you, I suggest that you find yourself a template mannequin image, this mannequin will be simply to transpose your dress images over it, nothing else. Then you can create a second bump map to highlight the breasts, waist, and legs to "shape" the dress. Once you find the right mannequin image that suits you, then I can help you create the bump map for it.

If you need to get a shape onto a flat figure, try a shaped gradient first. (play with them all until you find one you like) Preferably transparent to a colour other than the one your original picture is. If you have your darker colour to the outside that will help with shadows etc., and a pattern will not stick to white so I'd stay away from white.
