I’ve been trying to import this blend into S4Studio. I followed all the steps I usually do but I keep getting an error after about 30-60 minutes. Right now, I'm waiting for the error to pop up again but it's been spinning on 'Importing Mesh' for about an hour. Could anyone take a look at the file to see what might be the problem? I've recreated it twice in Blender, checking my steps pretty carefully. Hopefully it's just an overlook on my end. Here is the blend file in case you need it.And I apologize if this is the wrong area to post. I didn't see a 'Create New Thread' in the Apple Blossom error forum area. Thanks in advance! |

Hi. Do not use edge split modifier or do not split the mesh with everything selected. The whole mesh is split along every single edge
- select everything with A, remove doubles with merge distance set to 0.0001
- select uv_0, in uv editor select everything, UVs - Weld/Align - Remove doubles with Merge distance set to 0.0001;
- do the same with uv_1;
- your garment has no sharp edges, you did not create them yet, no point in splitting anything
Unrelated to the problem:
- the garment's polycount is 4 times higher than of maxis's most complex meshes, yet it still looks jagged;
- select all patterns when quadrangulating them;
- you need to subdivide the avatar in MD when working with low particle distance
- Nearest face interpolated accomplishes what subdividing the reference is meant to and in a better way, there is no need in subdividing it;
- hide or delete the reference before importing it, it has the same cut as the garment, so s4s will import either it or your garment;
- uvs in uv_1 are stretched because of dense topology in the back;
- again, no point in keeping body parts covered by clothing. This body will do nothing but clip into your garment and occupy valuable uv space that could have been used on making uvs bigger and textures better
