Therefore you need to make sure the skin works well on the LBV as well as other armors. Changes cascade downwards so it is best to start with Improved combined tactical vest and work your way down towards the light ballistic vest if you want unique modifications to each tier.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"examplefiles\">Template Files<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll be able to download these Template Files that can be used for any armor. Each armor can only have a single Base Gradient, Pattern, Pattern Gradient and\/or Sticker. These files are your source files, and to help you understand the process and create skins you can use them however you see fit. To export your files and get them in the Skin Editor look at \u201cExport to the Skin Editor\u201d.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/workshopmanual\/wp-content\/themes\/pd2workshop\/dl\/armorgradient.zip\">Base Armor Gradient (link to template)<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li>Controls all colors for each material and whether it should be \u201cglossy\u201d, \u201cmatte\u201d etc..<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/workshopmanual\/wp-content\/themes\/pd2workshop\/dl\/patterns.zip\">Pattern (link to template)<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li>Patterns are applied to the weapon directly and can be used to create textures and complex patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/workshopmanual\/wp-content\/themes\/pd2workshop\/dl\/patterngradients.zip\">Pattern Gradient (link to template)<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Specifies what colors to be used in the Pattern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/workshopmanual\/wp-content\/themes\/pd2workshop\/dl\/stickers.zip\">Stickers (link to template)<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li>Stickers are images that are applied to a weapon.
