hello everyone, i hope you are all enjoying yourself and staying safe...
i finally made some progress with my understanding and creation of clothes, but seem to be having trouble applying and saving material presets.
with my first few runs of making clothes (i have stuff available for the community), i was importing my clothing meshes already textured, and when i would save the clothing item, the material also saved as a default loaded with the clothing item. i dont even remember having an issue with the makeskin plugin, but something in my workflow must have changed, the textures are not saving with the clothing, the materials load with the clothing item, but go away during the save. if i try to check the texture view in blender, the clothing item becomes invisible, and in makehuman, the texture/material doesnt even show, the item in question is shiny white.
can someone explain very slow, step by stem, the process of making and saving texture/material presets for the clothing items we generate?!? i must have forgotten something in the process, its all a mess on this end. can we simply load a clothing item, apply textures and materials and save the preset w/o having to go thru the "make the clothes" process? i wanted to make several variations for the same clothing item, the practice will be good for me.
thanks in advance...
