Hi everyone. First, sorry if I wrote something wrong; English isn't my first language.

I'm trying to subdivide my reference mesh in Blender 4.2 for a better UV_1 transfer. The problem is that I can't find a way to 'subdivide smooth' like in version 2.79 without seeing those edges.

This is the process I follow to subdivide in 2.79:

drive.google.com/file/d/1OUnPjAFBzAhfz0BjyHvtgxXYtk4cMqPR/view?usp=sharing

And this is the process where i'm stuck on 4.2:

drive.google.com/file/d/126VQp-GAyieUbOgxm3apci3Z7bq-piao/view?usp=sharing

I really don't want to try anything without knowing that it won't affect or cause errors in the final process.

In short, can someone explain to me the process of how to smooth the mesh after subdividing it in 4.5 for a better UV_1 transfer?
I hope I wasn't confusing in the post, and thank you very much in advance.

Hi. Instead of subdividing the reference, you need to change Mapping to Nearest face interpolated, this is what gives better uv transfer.
By default, the data is transferred from the nearest vertices, so when you subdivide the reference, you just create more of them to shorten the distance. Instead, you should be transferring from faces, without subdividing. This way it would be 100% precise.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES OF CREATOR HELP:

• describe your problem and provide a picture of it (if possible);

• provide download link(s) to .package and .blend files.

- find a maxis item of the same length as yours, clone, export, append in the scene with your garment, join if needed, rename to Reference;
- if your garment already contains body parts, select them and separate with P - Selection;
- if working in blender 2.7x, make sure both the reference and your item are visible and selectable;
- select your item, add Data transfer modifier;
- choose Reference as Source;
- enable Face corner data;
- enable UVs;
- change Mapping to Nearest face interpolated;
- choose uv_1 in the drop down;
- if you havent created uv_1 yourself, click on Generate data layers to create it;
- apply this modifier
