Ripped Sleeves

Post by Smoof nickel »

Hi

My character has ripped sleeves. I have the arm layers below the layer with the sleeves (shirt). I want part of this character's arm (around the armpit region) to be hidden by the torn sleeve but the rest of his arm to be in front of the torso. The sleeve is short.

1- Duplicate the arm layer that is behind the shirt then move it above the shirt layer. This duplicate will now be in front of the shirt and torso.
2- In the new layer arm remove the part of the arm that needs to stay behind the sleeve.

Both arms copies will move in unison seamlessly and you'll have the required effect.

This only works from one angle though. I might slightly tweak my style so that the sleeve isn't showing and the arm just moves in front of the shirt. I don't think there's going to be another way.

:?

Thanks for the help.
