Hello,
So I made a post on here a while back about a mesh I was trying to make using the base women's biker vest. Specifically, the coloring of the exterior clothing mesh was being copied onto the Sim's body underneath the vest, and I needed help fixing it.
On that post, I received some very helpful information (which I am greatly appreciative of, just to clarify), however I've been trying to make sense of what it means since then.
This being said, can someone explain to me or walk me through what the following advice means? I'm pretty new to creating CC, so any clarification I could get I would be grateful for.
" Hi again. All CAS items share the same uv space, meaning the garment and the body underneath it are using the same uv space and the same textures. If you look at your uv_0 map, you will see that the garment's uvs overlap with those of the body in the chest area.
Since the garment is symmetrical, the easiest way of dealing with it would be to just flip one half onto another and edit the diffuse, specular and normal maps
Or you can edit the body's uvs but that will affect the skin's and the bra's textures (well, not textures but how they are displayed)
- in UV editor enable sync;
- select a few faces on the left front side of the vest, Select - Linked to select the rest;
- disable sync to isolate it, select everything with A, UVs - Mirror - X axis;
- enable sync again, move this uv island on top of another one;
- do the same for the back;
- select the front two, type R -90, then G and move them like this
- select everything, UV - Export uv layout and use it to edit the textures "
Thank you so much to anyone who's willing to help
