What is the texture editor?
The texture editor is that screen that opens up every time you click on "Edit Texture", for facial parts, body, outfits, and accessories. From this editor, you can import and export textures too. In this article, we'll explain how the editor works and take a look at what you can do with it.

Editing Mode
When the 2D texture is applied to the 3D model, some parts of it may look distorted, as it stretches following the guides (grid). Editing Mode lets you choose if you want to draw on a two-dimensional texture, or a three-dimensional model.
World |
Use this editing mode if you want to draw directly on the 3D model without getting any kind of distortion. On the other hand, you might see some distortion on the texture. |
UV |
Use this editing mode if you prefer drawing on the texture and not the 3D model. What you draw won't be distorted on the texture, but it may be on the 3D model. |
Layers Options
Check this section if you need to change the editing mode or the opacity for the layer of texture you're editing.
