Description How to apply textures in Paint Tool SAI

It's my first time to make a tutorial, sorry for my bad english. This is more of a tutorial how I do it so sorry in advance if some of the techniques seem ineffective for you.


Here are my texture packs:
Ornate Patterns (lace, damask, etc) [link]

Here's another way to apply textures in SAI, which is easier in my opinion: [link]

sorry my bad english, but I hope you understand me.
Do what i'm going to say after you copy the image files:

1- Go in WorkSpace
2- Find the PainToolSAI Programme and click only one time with de right click button
3- Go in "Manage" on te top of the screen (the right side one)
4- Click in "Open Place"
5- Find the "PaperTex" file and paste the downloaded file textures.
6- Go back on the PainToolSAI files and click two times on the "start.sai" green button.

I hope I helped you

I can't get it to work in Sai. I've downloaded other textures/brushes, put them in the folder and they work perfectly, but these won't... and I'd really love to use them on the wedding dress I'm currently working on...

I have a question.

I can't seem to open the files properly.

I'm using windows eight and it only seems to offer ABR files. So I don't open zip files even though I downloaded zip files. They always end up as ABR files...

What do I do? ;m;

The textures don't show up for me when I want to choose one. I put them in the brushtex and papertex folders and they wont show up in sai. Anyway to fix this?

eccentricminded In reply to rabioque [2013-06-29 10:34:47 +0000 UTC]

What textures? If they are pre-made for SAI, check the size of the .bmp files or if they are in grayscale mode. Tell me where you downloaded them, I think I can help you somehow.

I have a question. On my Sai folder it doesn't have the green arrow shortcut. And no matter how many times I try to re-install the program it doesn't show up. Is there another way around making brush textures without it?

yes, but you have to do it manually. here's a tutorial on how to do it: [link] good luck!
