So you've purchased Model Humans and you don't know what to do? You can download your files into Procreate, but then what?

Never fear! Tattoo Smart has your back with these quick tutorial videos to help ease you into designing in 3D.

 

#1 - Always Duplicate Your Model Before You Begin

Before you design, make a copy of your blank model to work on a fresh copy every time. To duplicate, swipe left on your model and select 'Duplicate.'

#2 - Adding a Skin Tone

Be sure to install your skin tone library that is included with Tattoo Smart's Model Humans. Once you've imported the file into Procreate, you can find the skin tone library under the Pallets tab. Select the desired skin tone and drag the color puck onto the model.

When working with 3d models, the scale of the brush size is affected by how closely you were zoomed into the model. It's all relative! Adjust the size settings or zoom as needed.
