UV map for thick objects

lmoire

Hi there so I'm trying to do my first proper character (high and low poly, UVs, bake maps, etc) and the first doubt I have is this: how shall I treat thick objects like this shirt?

I understand is a general-open question but perhaps there's an example or some doc that can get me on the right track.

Thanks in advance

If you want to know, this is the concept I'm after

Select a couple edge loops deep into the backside and cut it off the there. You can discard the inside faces that won't be seen. Then just unfold like normal.
