Help making belt and texturing

Question 1:
How can I make a belt in the same way (wrapped around itself) as seen in the image? (red circle), would it be better to make in other software? I have been told to use zmodeler but I triedd and messed up the topology horribly at the wrap around bit.

Question 2:
How can I wrap a texture around an arm/leg the same way in the image? (green circle) I tried in substance painter but it keeps getting warped and I have no idea how to fit it perfectly. Thanks!

  1. I would make the belt as an Insert Mesh (or download one from the IMM Repository thread) and wrap it around the figure.

  2. I would probably use Lightbox to copy the tattoo on the arm.

How would you go about making the IMM then? the trouble is creating the knot mostly!

will lightbox wrap textures naturally? or would I have to rotate the arm at the same time?

I figured it would be imm based but the issue is making the knot itself, how would I make the loop?

Can spotlight wrap by itself or do yI need to rotate the model with it?
