Hey!! I'm new to posting here so bare with me lol. I hope someone see's this and I hope I am in the right place. I am trying to do a custom recolor of a motorcycle helmet and i have done recolors in the past and they are pretty straightforward, but this one is acting really weird. I am trying to recreate this:  but it ends up looking like this in S4 Studio :(  is this a specular problem or what and whatever the case is, would someone mind explaining how to get rid of it that way I can move forward with the recolor! Thanks to anyone that attempts to help!!!! |

if you share the package and blender file, someone can take a look.

Can you share the .package also. On a side note, you can have your images in the thread by choosing the direct link on the imgur page and using the little picture of a landscape button at the top of the box here.

hi! The 3D model that was used isn't mapped in the way you'd think.. the uv is all squished so it's never going to look like the way you want to.. that's why the texture looks like that in S4S. So it isn't really your fault.  |

Is there a way to change the UV map and make it so that this retexture will work? =D

If you modify the mesh, then your recolor will not require the original mesh. You should check with the original creator of the package if it's okay to do that.
You'd need to export the mesh, edit it in blender (links to download on S4S' download post) and import the modified version in all LODS. You do need at least some basic knowledge of blender (know how to work around the program) in my opinion.. but this tutorial is quite straight forward. Just so you know, the background music of the video is really creepy!! so be aware of that
instead of 7, press one for front view.
