Hi there,
I'm new to CC creating, but want to make some clothes for my sims. I'm working with Blender and got up to the UV mapping stage but each tutorial seems to explain it in a different way....
I have a mesh for a top that isn't yet joined with the nude mesh. imgur.com/a/BeqEg
So here is what I'm confused about:
1. Do I have to make seams in my mesh for UV Mapping?
2. For the UV Mapping background image, should I use "base texture" that came with the nude mesh, "diffuse map" that came with the shirt I initially exported from S4S, or the colorblocked/colorcoded image that goes along with this imgur.com/a/X6LVP ?
3. What's the point of moving around the pieces of the UV mapped mesh?
4. I heard something about not putting clothing pieces below a certain point because it would mess up any other CC someone has downloaded. (https://youtu.be/nVzw0nVb4VE at 16:20) How do I know how far down I can place the mesh pieces in the UV Map to not mess it up?
Thanks in advance, Siggy
