Well, I’m making progress. I mentioned in an earlier post that I’ve built a stage for MMD with Blender and today I made an attempt at making a sweater.
The download page for my stage is here. It came out smaller than I intended, but this is all part of the learning process. I feel pretty proud of myself for getting it done.
As for the sweater… I still need work on UV mapping more complex shapes. Somehow the texture on the sleeves flattened. No idea what I did or how to fix it, other than to take a break and start over later.

Hopefully my next attempt will produce results closer to what I am aiming for.
