I'm trying to texture this sleeve, and I'm getting a weird stretching in the middle section. I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not, but I did "morph" this section of the sleeve to stretch it and make it longer (it only came to mid-elbow). Any idea why it is doing this, if it has anything to do with my "morphing" it, and what, if anything, I can do to fix it?

Yes, by stretching the geometry with morphs, you've also "stretched" the texture attached to it. There's very little you can do to retain the texture detail in that region, short of remapping the mesh with a UV-mapping utility.

Sorry. This is why you don't see a lot of long-sleeve morphs for short-sleeved clothing.

Ah, no worries, I figured out another way using a different "shirt sleeve" that I think will work better, at least texture-wise. Thanks!

You can try "pre-shrinking" the texture over the section that will be stretched.

Thanks, Phil, but I actually tried that first, and it still didn't seem to look right.
