While working on my 3D model I experimented with multiple different ways to create my character’s bandages but in the end, most of them resulted in messy topology or it took up more time than I initially thought it would. After many attempts, I was able to find a quick and efficient way and workflow that gave me the exact look I was going for as well as clean topology. First, mask off the area of your model that you’d like the bandages to be and extract it with 0 thickness.
