Use Cases

Allow the character to use game-created textures as custom clan emblem in relevant clothing, like a tabard, cape or shoulder.

For the preview, the bottom part textures (Preview Texture Parameter Options) will be selectable for all the Texture Parameters in the object. In this case only ColourMap Param.
