Question about painting new textures...

Question about painting new textures for an existing outfit:

When you are wanting to convert a long-sleeve garment to a short-sleeve one, but with a new texture, is it just a matter of painting the shorter sleeves onto the template? Or does one have to make a corresponding transmap as well to "cover" the "bare" part of the template?

Thank you!

You would need a corresponding trans map as well to "hide" the geometry you didn't want showing.

Very well, then! Thank you! :)
