I accidentaly moved the bip_head at some point. Moving it back into position fixed it.

Is anybody else getting this in the importer. I don't know if it's a bug related to the recent update or if I'm doing something wrong with my jigglebones.

Edit:

I think I nudged the bip_head at some point. So I'm trying to roll back to an ealier save. The problem I have now is that it has an old UV map. After an hour of Googling, there does not seem to be anyway to import a UV map into Blender.

If there is, please tell me. Thanks.

Edit2:

I did nudge it. I went back and looked at the coordinates in the transform section for the bip_head bone and they were different. So I copied the original numbers and now the hat is back in place. Noticed there's a lock button to lock the bip_head bone in place and I'm using it now.

I unwrapped a mesh and the islands cannot be resize, moved, or anything separately. The whole unwrap is treated as a whole as if the whole thing is selected. They're glued. Inseparable. They won't separate. I'm adding keywords here so if this gets solved, anyone else googling for a solution can find it. I've been googling for an hour and can't find anyone else who has encountered this problem.

Edit:

I found a solution. But I don't understand the logic. For this particular project, for unknown reasons, I have to toggle the "Keep UV and Edit Mode Selection in Sync" button and select the islands. Then toggle it again to make the rest disappear and then I can move them independently.

But now I have a new problem. For this particular project, for unknown reasons, it doesn't show the image texture I made. But if I open up my Babochka file and apply the image there, it shows up. I must have skipped a step or pressed a button or something. But comparing the settings between files, I can't figure it out.

Edit 2:

I forgot to put lights in. That's why the texture wasn't showing up. The hat was dark.

I need to see the reference model underneath. Wireframe display is not helpful for me. It's far too cluttered.

I need a view like in the below photo. Which looks like that because the other boot is in front.

As it is it looks like this and I'm having to guess where the boot is.

Edit:

There doesn't seem to be a way to do this. But I found a way to make the Mesh display easier to use. In user interface, you can set the color of the wires. So I set the background wires to red and the foreground to green.

I'm making shoes. I've followed Helljumper's excellent tutorial up until I have to make the other shoe and export. That's where I'm on my own now. I don't know if I need to join the shoes, assign them to the foot bones (or toe bones or both?) and export as one model. And if so, is there a way to edit the texture after it gets messed up. Or should I export them as two separate models. But Helljumper mentioned that uploading multiple models doesn't work I think?

I have lots of questions. So are there any in-depth tutorials like Helljumpers out there? I can't find anything at all about shoes via Google.

Or does anyone have lots of shoe experience here?

Edit:

I did some tinkering and figured it out. The shoe I duplicated was inverted but it didn't look like it in any of the modes. When I selected it and inverted the normals, the texture showed up properly.

So for anyone else out there having the same questions, the process seems to be to join the duplicated shoe with the original, then if the texture is inverted on one shoe, select all the vertexes in that shoe, and invert the normals. Then assign the shoes as a whole model to the feet, toe, and knee bones.

I'm still tinkering. But I had my shoes assigned to just the foot bone and in the workshop preview, the shins moved back and forth through the shoe. Also, it looks like the shoes just cover the existing shoes, so that's something to consider in design.

Also, I may need to re-align the whole model again because one shoe was attached sideways.
