Hi all! I'm trying to make a minihat. In blender, s4s and castools, it shows as it should. However in CAS, the hat splits into triangles slightly and the lace text is a little strange (and somewhat crispy)? I triangulated the mesh in blender but it didn't solve the issue. I cloned glasses for the transparency but changed the sort layer to 11000 (for hats).

Hi. Yes, this happens because of quads. For some reason, s4s ( or the game ) does not like how blender triangulates the mesh.
The only way out of it is to export the mesh as obj, import it back, re-adapt
Also, hats are painted with 007F00 and do not need uv_2

Thank you for the reply! The lines are still showing however :'[ These were my steps: export triangulated mesh as obj > import obj into blender > re-do weights, vertex + uv_1 > save and reimport into s4s.

oh thank you so much!! That fixed it and those weird flickering lines I've been seeing in CAS sometimes.

One last question: Is there a way to make the lace less sharp in game? It's completely fine in S4S. Could be a texture thing?
