Make a tattoo pack without ever leaving the game. Inkubator opens a 3D tattoo editor right from the main menu: import your PNGs, place and scale them on the character, preview them live on the real menu rig, and export a complete, ready-to-publish Inkorporated tattoo mod - manifest, license and a resized icon included. Built on S1API and launched through the Side Hustle hub.
Features
Section titled “Features”- In-game tattoo editor. No image software, no JSON, no rebuilds - design a whole pack from the main menu.
- Import and place. Drop PNGs into the import folder, then place, move, scale, rotate and flip each tattoo on a UV canvas.
- Live preview on the real character. Every change is baked onto the menu rig instantly, with turn and camera-zoom controls (the camera follows the face when you edit a face tattoo).
- Chest, arms and face. Author tattoos per body part, each with its own name, shop price and auto-generated shop id.
- One-click export. Produces a complete Inkorporated pack: a
manifest.json, the baked textures, aREADME, aLICENSEand a 256x256icon.png(auto-resized from any source image), zipped and ready to publish. - Pick your icon in-app. Choose a cover image from your imports; it is resized to Thunderstore’s 256x256 on export.
