How do i add camouflage to an existing texture (solved)

[TheCardinal]

I have an existing texture that i would like to change to a texture with gray and black camouflage.

The existing texture has all kinds of details which i don't want to lose.

Is it doable with paint.net? How should i go about with it? With an extra layer or such?

Cheers,

The actual question now is, "How to change a part's texture?", since it seems that's it isn't as easy as before...

I have never used paint.net, I use GIMP for my texturing needs, but I imagine its about the same.

Best way i could think of to do that is make original texture a bottom layer at 0% transparent. Make the camo texture an upper layer and make it a tiny bit transparent(maybe start at like 20% and go up slowly till it looks good), then merge the camo layer down onto the original texture.

Honestly though textures is the aspect of modding I struggle with most, so there may be a better way I am to noob to know about.

I've succesfully created my camo texture thanks to KhaosCorp (and learned something new).

Twiddle with your blend modes when you do this, you may like the results better than the default additive blend.
