Wanted to experiment with making a LoRA for applying textures/patterns to things, so I picked a strong candidate for the most famous texture of all: The Source engine default texture, used when a user is missing a texture in Source engine games. It doesn't seem to have worked though, as only one of the 45 epoch pics showed anything.

Tag: mtex [item]. e.g., “mtex shirt”, “mtex socks”, “mtex couch”

Made with 21 pics: 7 2D parodies, 8 3D examples (more deliberately added to other games than the actual error), and 6 real items with the texture.

I've seen this kind of thing work by accident (texture of a piece of clothing that wound up applyable to anything) several times so not sure what failed. Wonder if it needs a recognized word to "overwrite"? Maybe it needs a primary article of clothing to apply it to?
