Hi Guys,
Im fresh new to the forums and I literally just signed up. Dont speculate too much because I have seen all the beautiful work people have created for weeks but never bothered to create an account. 
hehe.
I need advice or help on how to do the really hard…A bloody sweater.
I have a vein on my head thats about to pop. I spent accumulatively about I don’t know 4 hours trying to recreate the general texture of a sweater.
Here are just a few lovely examples
Done by a Artist named Duncan I think with Zbrush
and I might aim at something like this for example
More or less maybe wider layers
See the stripes? and see how they are neatly aligned against each other. How do I recreate that? I tried masking, too messy. I tried Spotlight, and no deal 
I know for the smaller texturing, I could create an Alpha, or import an image into Spotlight, but if you guys have easier suggestions, please advice me 
I looked all over the internet. I mined the internet for a tutorial, a step by step yet really nothing. The closest thing that I got to was a 5 comment thread in another website asking the same question. Didn’t really thoroughly cover anything and all I perceived was “blah Blah UV Mapping, this and that and import”… I know there’s clothing tutorials but they only cover basic principals that I know like wrinkles and t-shirts.
Now I know the texturing can be done with spotlight, but Im specifying at the layers. If I can map it or something
Anything you guys or ladies suggest? anything? Tutorials? Common sense? or a link to what I need or a step by step?
By the way I have no 3rd party, or parent softwares to import or export
Thanks Guys, much appreciate it.
Juan
