I am SO glad you're back!

Now that I've done a little...I'll want to improve it and add more patches. In the end it was accomplished by adding the texture on the back and coloring the jacket to match the collar's code hex code. Critiques and Suggestions welcome.

Thank you Miss B! Thank you Rokket! Thank you Terre!

The only thing I would suggest is at the bottom of the Image map, there is a line labeled Filtering. You see a drop down arrow. Click on that and select Crisp. That will help your decal to not look fuzzy. Other than that, I think it looks great. Nice job, Rookie!

 

[Miss B]

Yeah, not bad at all!

 

[Rokket]

Getting better. The breast thing is gone. But I still have that weird thing going on on the leg.

 

[Miss B]

Well that's progress. I'm sure you'll figure out the leg thing too.

Rookie! Hey! I kinda like that! At least I have learned a little. Very little but still I have learned.

Miss B, thank you! I did check out your bomber jacket textures and quietrob likes! The price is more than reasonable. That jacket, however is more expensive than Dawn SE! Why does male clothing always seem to cost more? I might be wrong but it feels like it!

I don't know. I can't really see any stretching or distortion. Could what you see (again, my eyes aren't trained well enough to see it) be due to the slightly uneven application of the texture. I say that because look at that line running down her spine and bum. It's not centered. Still, as I said, it looks okay to me!

 

[Miss B]

Yes textures like that are hard to match at the seams.

 

[Terre]

Looks like both of you are coming along nicely.

The texture isn't lined up because I didn't create a texture map for this, I simply applied the plaid map to it. The problem area is highlighted in orange on the leg. That's supposed to be a straight seam, and it's got that warping in there.

 

[Miss B]

Oh, well that'll do it. Marking seams and creating the UV map will make it better, though some textures are just too difficult to use if you want to match seams.

That's untrained eye for you. I saw that distortion but thought it was natural. Soooo what's next? By the way, that looks the start of a great pair of over-alls!

 

[Rokket]

I am thinking I will try to relax the map one more time or remap it and make more seams than I did the first time, which was only front and back. I will go for realistic seams this time if I can't get rid of that distortion.

 

[Rokket]

Starting from another angle. I decimated the mesh in Blender and I am going to try mapping that, then I'll subdivide it again...

I have about 4 hours of school left and then I'll be on a plane and heading to Seattle. My mother is stoked that I am coming up there to see her. It's been about 2 years...

2 years is a long time not to see your kids...I haven't seen my daughter in Australia since March 2014. Your mum will be so happy to see you

I know she will. She is talking about breaking out the grill. My brother is going with me. I am going to see him first. He got me a ticket to a Mariner's baseball game for Saturday. Then we will go on Monday to see my mom.

 

[Lorraine]

Nice! Have a super swell time

 

[Rokket]

Thank you! I will. The bulk of my family is there. They all miss me.

 

[Terre]

That sounds great, Rokket.
When you can bring your wife and kids to such gatherings I think it will be even better.

If I were marking seams on this, I'd do side seams and across the shoulders. Or, you could cut seams where each shoulder strap meets the bodice, and then leave the straps whole so there's no seam up on the shoulder. You could also do a seam at the waist, though if you want a jumpsuit look, then I wouldn't necessarily do that.

Have a great trip. I'm sure you're mom will be very happy to see you.
