Creating Custom Clothes

In addition to deploying the embedded clothing templates, you can also generate custom clothes with your favorite 3D tools in order for more variety in your 3D wardrobe.

There are two ways to create your custom clothing.

Method 1. Modification from Existing Cloth

Video Tutorial

You can use the existing cloth templates in Character Creator as the base for modification, turning them into custom clothing with your preferred 3D tools.

For more information, see About fbxkey file.

  1. Add a clothed character to a new scene.
  2. Execute File > Export to Fbx > Clothed Character.
    ClosedNote:

    For more information, see Exporting FBX Characters.

  3. Click the Export button to export the character in FBX along with its FBX key.
  4. Open the FBX file in your preferred 3D tool.
  5. Modify the cloth with the features provided in your 3D application.

    • For more information on using the nude character for creating custom clothes, see Creating Custom Clothes.
    • For characters, subdividing the mesh is fine as long as the original FBX key is loaded back into Character Creator.
    • For cloths, gloves and shoes, editing without changing the topology or deleting faces is allowed. However, if the mesh is subdivided, then you must manually re-bind it to the bones.

Method 2: Import Designed Assets

After creating assets (cloth, hair, etc.) using your 3D tools based on the exported character, load them back into Character Creator to create custom outfits or assets.

For more information, see About fbxkey file.
