need help making a collar for a shirt

i was wondering if there were any type of tutorals out there that could help me make a collar for a shirt ot jacket that sticks out of an ava kind of like how a real one would.
any help would be apreciated

Which graphic program are you working with?

-Sun

i use psp 8 but i have psp 7

well, you can either create a piece of clothing like a sweater, and draw the collar on top of the sweater... it can take a bit of patience to get the front and back parts of the collar to align... the templates help to an extent but i always find i have to tweak a lot.

but if you want a 3D look with a collar, you going to need prims. A high collar could be a hollow, sheared cylinder. Or you can use a cut, hollow (and probably dimpled too) sphere for the two front bits of a flat collar.... play around...

amen to what forseti said

coincidence, i just finished a victorian blouse that required a high colar

i thought making it direct on the neck with the shirt template, but as i prefer the real 3D look to complete it, i decided to create a texture in Photoshop, and then apply it to a hollowed cyllinder, with some aspects like twist, cut beginning and end, etc, to make it be exactly what I needed

should work it out that way!

BUT

if you do not want a prim, and want the colar to still have a feel of 3D, best to do it, use a totally different layer (but in the same PSD file of your shirt) draw your colar, (make sure rest of layer is tranparent) and then go in layer, style, drop shadow
then you can play in the drop shadow options to obtain the exact shadow look you like

it will only put a shadow under your colar, since it was made on a different layer, and make sure that colar layer is on top of the rest of your shirt

then the shadow will appear on top of the shirt, and will make it look some 3D

thats it

have fun, hope it works for you!
