Vin-

 

So I tried the second method to keep UVs.

 

I tried a simple, two-panel shirt front and back with some draping detail just to keep it simple but not too simple.  Particle distance of 5.

 

The problem occurs Maya.  When I select both flat and 3d versions and try to transfer attributes the flat quad version becomes smaller and distorted terribly.

Needless to say when I take it into c4d after that, there is no usable quad model.

 

What do you think I might be doing wrong?
