Texturing

Experimenter

I made different clothings in Hexagon for DAZ. I have problems with the texture for my clothings. Here are a few examples of my problems. When I placed textures on it the texture was to much streched at a few points or the texture was cut. I created four material zones at a shirt. When I sent it to DAZ I have five surface tabs. The fifth is named "def_surf_mat". I saw a few videos about uv-maping but they did not solve my problem.

What do I have to fix the texture problems?

Thank you for your help

In Hexagon did you unfold the uvmap?

After exporting out the .obj from Hexagon, close Hexagon. Open Hexagon and import in that .obj file. Delete/remove any and all "materials" not in active use, export out the .obj file again. Check it in D/S. Once in awhile this has to be done twice. I call it "washing the .obj".

If you send items from Hexagon to D/S over the bridge, that extra "def_surf_mat" can be gotten rid of using the geometry editor tool and having the Tool Tab open. Find it under "surfaces" and right-click/remove it. ALSO check the pathways IF you had any other texture images applied because Hexagon changes all that. Best to simply clear off all the images brought in from Hexagon and re-apply them from their correct locations in the Runtime > textures > whatever subfolders.

Stretching in textures means bad UV Mapping. You need to unwrap the UV's to relax them

Sorry I can not find the remove button for the "def_surf_mat". You you write it in detail, please?

def_surf_mat isn't always visible with the geometry tool for whatever reason. Venetian Mask by Nikisatez loads in with a def_surf_mat in the surfaces, but unlisted in the editor tool. I haven't figured out what causes this. It doesn't show up in Blender, either.
