Sorry im dummy and most of tutorials hard to reach or assume that i already know. i made a mesh using some of EA meshes but i dont want to merge into one piece because i want one of parts, outer skirt to be exact to be sheer/see through. from what i understood i need to change some sittings for the part i wish to be see through from warehouse, i found tutorials on that but i dont know how to import in first place or if i should do fixes on blender first?  |

Hi  It is explained here : sims4studio.com/thread/16685/add-transparency-clothing-adding-newYou need to separate the mesh in a different mesh group into blender, assign a cut  Then into S4S, you'll need to create a new material if it doesn't already exist and change the shader for its to be transparent (follow the steps 2 in the link, it's well explained) Let us know how it goes ! |

Hi. Because you need to change the export settings from 1024x1024 to 1024x2048. Or just set the base texture as the background, the dimensions will be adjusted automatically

sorry one last question. i want to add rest of LODS according to this its the best way to ensure that the shape will come accurate as possible. but i edited part of the chest to get it to work with mesh, so is there easy way to get each LOD nude top exactly same without having to reshape it once again? so they will be also all exactly same shape not random. i already tried decimate, its not bad but there's still slight lines off |

It does take a lot of time, and it's advised to do it at the very end of your process, after testing the mesh and everything, or you'll have to do it again everytime. My recommended process to reduce polycount is using the edge loops removing. You shouldn't be too afraid to change the apparence of your mesh as the LOD will be the appearance of your creation while zoom out, or very zoom out for the Low LOD. So it doesn't matter if it alters a little the shape (except for decimate that does that in an ugly way...), as long as it doesn't destroy the whole model. |
