Hello to everyone, I'm sorry if this question is not in the right place.
I've made the mesh of dress in the Marvelous Designer and moved it into the Blender. The mesh is ok, but now the problem is that I am noob at making UV maps. Also the mesh is solid, and dds texture of clothes like dress or tops are apart. I've already seen thos tutorials about uv-mapping with bottle and others, but I'm just interested if there are some uv-mapping tuts specially for TS4 clothes?

Hello vfsims, Marvelous Designer is not the best thing to use to create clothes for the sims (or any game really) the poly count is usually too high and like you have discovered you still need to uv map it, and to make things trickier they need two uv maps. This a tut on how its done from scratch in blenderOne of the best ways to learn however is to get an existing item of clothing and edit it. |

Hello MisterS, thank you for your reply, I'll watch this tutorial for sure. And if so "Marvelous Designer is not the best thing to use to create clothes for the sims" could you please tell me what soft fits more? Maybe there's some other programs, cause it's still complicated for me to create clothes in blender.

From the few items I've seen made using MD the program is semi-viable to use for the Sims 4. I say semi because of the issues MisterS pointed out. You end up with something that's fairly high poly and it still needs to be mapped. 3DS Max and Maya are viable choices in addition to Blender although I think Blender has the most tutorials written for it because it is a free program that lots of people use and the other two are pretty expensive which limits their use among hobbyists. I agree with MisterS that one of the easiest ways of getting started is to edit an existing EA garment. Once you've done a few projects like that, or frankenmeshed a few items, then you have a better idea what goes into making your own garment from scratch.
