hmm so far they are not uvmapped at all.. it is just plain pictures i forced upon cloth material. It would need to be shaped better, to fit the uvmapping of each clothes. that's why i realised some odd/strange thing about casual style top: watch the upperarms/shoulders.. the texture there is symmetrically mapped and distorded, and it was not intended. on different clothes so far it would have looked different. I guess it is because of the way casual style top is made. i face a dilemna: make plains square pictures one could use as he wants, but seams maybe visible depending on clothes, and without MAT files but one can put them on whatever they like, or try to work a bit more (intended) and adapt the textures on each clothes, andmake MAT files, but it will multiply the number of time a same texture is made, thus the file size of archive. well there are really good texturer artists there and sure you can be discouraged to even start your own ones compared to them. Don't ! you are not here to match out top merchangts, just try to do a texture that suits YOUR need first, and once you are satisfied with it, watch if you can improve or correct it a bit. Once they are satisfactory beyond your own need, share with others. Depending on what you do/want, if may be easy to make some good things. We don't always need top 3000x3000 textures all the time, sometimes top merchant can not look down on most lower needs of ours and not make something simple but yet needed; here is where you come in :) Also don't be ashamed, even if foer you the texture was simple to make, it is the idea that matter. At start, my strawberry collection was DUMB to make, in a painting point of view; any newbie (i am one) could make it in a couple of hour. What took me time was details, and fitting them to some different clothes, figthing againsts visible seams and so on; yet people seems to liek it (i saw many gallery pictures and even freebie products thumbnail .rsr files showing them)
