FINALLY, i find someone who shows how to actually change the proportions to get it to fit. I kept scaling and deleting vertexs and made a hot mess 😂😂 Definitely saved this video for later when i add clothes to my character. You rock!
Amazing video, you're a good teacher! A lot of these VRChat tutorial creators, especially on the Booth side, tend to think they're comedians so their tutorials end up being unbearable but also just not in-depth at all. Yours are however, so easy to understand and consume because there's none of that filler content. Thnk you very much, I'll attempt this tomorrow when I wake up
For many pieces of clothing, adjusting the mesh manually with sculpting will lead to increased stretching of the UVs, meaning you would need to re-unwrap and re-texture your model for a professional quality result for clothing that requires major adjustments to be properly fitted.
That highly depends on the amount of sculpting you do. If you just adjust it a little, like he did in the video, there will be no real benefit from retexturing ;)
I love you so much I could start crying right now lmao. I was able to attach some pants I made to my character but for some reason the jacket wouldn't work no matter what. This got it rigged when everything else failed at 6 am. You're a river to your people.
This tutorial was fantastic! Thank you so much! I ended up having problems with my jacket's sleeves clipping into my avatar's arms when I run but I just ended up retexturing my avatar's arms to have my sleeve texture LOL
thank you very much for your tutorial ❤- helping a friend to edit their avatar and your clothing tutorials, both in blender and here in unity have been great assistance and she looks the best 😸
Hi Pinky! You're my hero for doing this, as I learn so much from your videos! I can't wait to one day say thank you in vrchat with my own diy avatar! Stay amazing!
This will definitely come in handy when I’m trying to add cybernetics to my body because the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah. Thank you for making this video!
Thanks so much for that great tutorial. Data transfer is such a great tool. I had some problems with cat's so I just skipped that step and added it directly onto my model.
This is such a great video! I did however have an issue that once I used FACS to apply some pants I took off one avatar (I wiped it of everything from the old avi) to put on a similar body avi, when testing for clipping with Gesture Manager and Go Loco, when placing the avi in to a cross legged position (or other large degree joint bend positions) the butt clips through the pants severely and the front of the waist of the pants sinks inside the lower tummy area. Is there anything you can suggest to fix this issue? Amazing video though. I genuinely feel like my blender skills leveled up after watching this! ^.^
Thank you for the great video, it really helped. but I put the fbx file into Unity and Material was look fine but if I touched the blend shape key of cloth, the modified clothes break, how can I fix it?
I love the tutorial and how well it guided me but sadly my blender crashes whenever I get the weight paint and I don't want to do it all over again a third time.
One issue I'm having though, I don't have the move/select tools you do for when you're selecting the armature to see the weight painting, anything on how to fix that..?
@@ludwigthedragon8645 that gets a little more complicated, you can either add those bones to the armature and then copy them + the normal armature or isolate them and just add them back after
You can lock those that you want and then hit "delete unlocked vertex groups" Alternitively you can keep them and just remove the meshs you dont need / want
Heya! I followed both of your tutorials (this one + import with VRCFury), in unity everything seems normal, but when I import the cloth (Rex's Latex Swimsuit2), it's clipping in my Archer model. How can I fix this?
This is a late comment, but hopefully you'll still come across it for an answer. If I want to refit clothing to a edited nardo base with clothing rigged for a regular nardo, do I still have to worry about messing with the bones or can I just sculpt it to fit? Thanks in advance
Depends if the edited nardo base was just mesh or if they modified the weights / bones. If its the ladder then id suggest fitting it to the modified base
what if im trying to add pants to a model whos legs are in a different pose, or adding a tpose shirt to an apose model? sculpting the model that far off always ends up very distorted
You can try using the base armature (if it comes with one) and pose that, then set the pose as default and remove the armature Alternatively you can pose your model and do the same thing, just note to pose it back if you want.
I used this guide and the same jacket model as you. After importing the finished fbx into unity it loses all its textures and also loses the "inside" of the jacket. (looking inside the jacket you can see through it). Was wondering if you had any issues when you imported into unity?
The inside being lost is due to no back-face on it, most materials will fix these automatically Materials aren't fully automatic, it will either give you an untextured or grey material, I would recommend making your own!
You may have messed up somewhere along the path, remember that the order that you combine / join stuff is extremely important! additionally make sure it has the armature modifier on both meshes
i have a small issue on a model and the elastic deform when i move it the faces apears making it look weird and if i use the subdivision boolean it will just freeze blender
unity package is a file archive (like .ZIP) you need to open your unity package, inside of that should have your model. this model will be a .fbx (or .blend/ other file types) that's what you want to import
hi I have a question. I did everything to the letter but when I try to put it on unity using av3 creator I'm left with the dress in t pose. What could it be ?
Ok so this is frustrating. Tried to figure it out myself but no luck. Would you know why I go through the trouble of sculpting clothes to fit perfectly and work perfectly in blender but the second i get it in unity its like it shrunk and even manually upping the size in unity it refuses to fit the base like it did in blender. What am I missing here?

It does not help that you block the right corner making it hard to follow what your doing over there smh

Thank you once more
👍
I’m very very confused on what to do for the add shapekey to basic it doesn’t show up on mine
I believe this was a feature with CATS. You can also just hit the "apply all shapekey" button imstead
very nice model
Thank you so much for this! Such a life saver :']
One issue I'm having though, I don't have the move/select tools you do for when you're selecting the armature to see the weight painting, anything on how to fix that..?
you didnt add the "armature" modifier
7:29 I’m not getting the “Apply Shape Key to Basis” option for some reason
Must have the CATS plugin for it to show.
thanks this is what i was looking for as well, went spiraling through comments just to see if anyone else had this problem xD@@awsomeusername100
Brother, your sona is in the way of a good chunk of info. I can't see where "this tab here" is.
Apologys, this is an older video, and I do believe I forgot to edit in the screenshots
do you have a tutorial for how to edit clothes that Do have bones on em already?
Remove the bones then follow this video
@@PxINKY what if I want to keep some of the bones for physbones later, like strings and such?
@@ludwigthedragon8645 that gets a little more complicated, you can either add those bones to the armature and then copy them + the normal armature

What if you were do a video to how to make wheels move on vehicle avatars that would be cool ^^
I don't have the Dyntopo tool like you do in the layout level, only in the sculpting level :/
is there no faster way to do the vertex group part? the nardo has so many vertex groups lol
You can lock those that you want and then hit "delete unlocked vertex groups"
Alternitively you can keep them and just remove the meshs you dont need / want
Heya! I followed both of your tutorials (this one + import with VRCFury), in unity everything seems normal, but when I import the cloth (Rex's Latex Swimsuit2), it's clipping in my Archer model. How can I fix this?
does the archer model have any shapekeys that increase the size of any body parts? that could cause clipping
How’d you get you character in the bottom right corner to moves its hand and mouth with yours? That’s cool
I commissioned someone for it, its a custom program they wrote and did the art for"
link to them is in the description ^-^
what if your clothes has additional bones?
for example a drawstring on the hoodie
you can separate those parts and re-add them at the end, thats what i personally do
This is a late comment, but hopefully you'll still come across it for an answer. If I want to refit clothing to a edited nardo base with clothing rigged for a regular nardo, do I still have to worry about messing with the bones or can I just sculpt it to fit? Thanks in advance

1:17 This timecode just for me, nevermind ;)
Why remove the unneeded vertex groups? How do they affect the data transfer?
Its just bloat, you don't need bone data on parts that don't exist
my clothing has a skeleton in its armature, do I delete that, or do I leave it on there?
You should delete the armature and remove any vertex weights it has
What would I do in the situation where the clothing model is in an A-pose rather than a T-pose?
you can either re-pose your avatar to be in T-pose and apply the transforms
or try sculpting it on A-pose
Shapekey to Basis not appearing
