I keep thinking I need to list all the stuff I had to learn on a project to make it work or remember how to do it again.
-Decal using the clothing instead of an imported image plane, using a new set for UVs
-Using a solidify modifier for clothing thickness instead of bringing over the thick clothing from zbrush
-using the wave texture for bump for socks and rib knit
-make crossing shoe laces by using just the topology brush in zbrush. (keep it simple)
- subdivision surface on hair will only respect the imported creases if it has enough subdivisions
