So through all of the little issues I've been able to find and fix online, this one has be stuck....

enter image description here

????Where are these extra shapes coming from and why can I only see them when I texture paint???? I can't select them through the uv panel or in edit mode. I've searched my mesh for double verts and such...the only thing I can think of was sometime in the past I may have made the faces double sided, the sleeves I think. But why can't I edit the uvs if that is the problem.

Please help I've been stuck on this one all day.

You have mesh artifacts and double vertices from modeling in your geometry.

unselected faces

There are two possibilities to solve this.

  1. Tab into Edit Mode, hit W and select "Remove Doubles". You need to unwrap your model after that again.
  2. In your UV/Image Editor window, hit A to select everything, turn on "Keep UV and edit mode mesh selection in sync" (see image below), switch to Face Select mode, then select all the faces you want to get rid of. Move your mouse to the 3D View and hit X and select "Faces" to remove them.

mark faces in UV Editor

Make sure to check and recalculate the face normals after that.

Thank you! I found that the artifacts were actually from the mirror modifier I had turned on. Followed the steps and #2 was definitely the answer. Thanks for teaching me a new button :) I appreciate you adding the gif and not a still
