hi! i have a question. is there a way to bake textures onto my sims skin? for example the straps of a tank top or bra? i was looking in game and saw a lot of textures were baked on the skin rather than being its own mesh.

Hi! I think, using "bake selected to active" in blender is gonna work for this. You need to first choose your tank top mesh and then choose the sim body mesh with ctrl. The body mesh should have the ea's body texture as a target image onto which the straps are gonna be baked. Uncheck the "clear image" in output prefences in the bake tab

Hm. That's strange. Do you always use the "Full render" mode for baking?

Try using the diffuse mode

And I've just reallised that the bra straps are gonna be visible. That means that you have to bake the straps not the ea body texture but just to a clear transparent image.

Yes, you can delete straps from the top mesh. You'll have only the texture of them Well, I think it's an appropriate place for asking many questions  |

Here is an example of baking one object's material onto another. Instead of diffuse you use Ambient occlusion. The most important thing is to find the right Extrusion and Max ray distance - create a new image node with a new blank image with alpha at 0, select this node; - separate stickers from the suitcase; - s elect the stickers first, then the suitcase, Bake type to diffuse, Indirect and Direct disabled, margin to 6; - enable Selected to active, change both Extrusion and Max ray distance to about 0.0002, bake;
