When your garment has some close-up details, it is important that they retain their original structure.
Automatic adaptation is never free of defects and unexpected results in the mesh and textures.
Fortunately, Character Creator 4 can overcome these problems in a very simple way.
This tutorial is based on a complete outfit available on the Reallusion Marketplace and which is available in "trial" mode.
Different techniques are covered: skin weights, mesh editing, use of garment morphs, Hide Body Mesh Tool and are explained especially to those who are new to Reallusion's Character Creator, the software suite that drastically simplifies character creation and animations!
Note: some deformations have been exaggerated to better highlight unexpected deformations.
Tips: you can also execute this tutorial by transforming any garment into an "accessory" in the "Modify" panel of Character Creator 4... and follow the instructions, even without the "morphs" included in the garment used in the tutorial.
I hope you find this tutorial useful.

Hi wa marhaba bik ya peacekeeper6799. It all depends on the mesh and its design, but yes, you can adapt any garment. However, for the skinweight transfer technique... I'd advise you to use a template provided in CC4... and do the adjustment work using the "skinweight" tool and the brush... it's not the easiest thing to do, especially if the mesh is complex, but you should be fine. The next step is to balance the skinweight using extreme poses. The "smooth" brush can help in some cases, but in general, you need to be very careful that parts of the garment are correctly balanced.

Thanks for the tut! Do you have any plans to do any British WW1 soldiers?

Hi Mr H Makes...Yes and thank you for your interest. I have started to gather documentation on the subject... For the moment, I have switched to the Kriegsmarine (WW2) and in particular to the personnel serving on U-boats. But of course the famous "Tommy" has its place with the "Poilu". I hope to be able to start the realization of the complete uniform very soon.

@@Pixel4Fiction wonderful! I look forward to it as I have a project in mind and your assets and their customisable morphs will be perfect!

I always atruggle with skin weights. I always get these huge spikes. Then try and resolve but just doesnt go away. In the end its always a mess :(

Hi! I understand... especially as version 4.2/4.3 was... buggy in exactly that respect, and I had to go through CC3 to get around this major bug.... The developers seem to have solved the problem with the new 4.4 update. One more tip, especially if you have a very dense mesh... try using a proxy. Let me explain: reduce (on your favorite software, don't worry about whether unwrapping will be preserved: it's not necessary and you'll understand why afterwards) the number of polygons in your mesh... then import it into CC4. Perform the skinweighting (and it's much easier when there are fewer polygons!), frequently using the "smooth" tool (it's more effective with very low poly). Once you're happy with the results, save your reduced "cloth" somewhere in your content. Then, instead of the usual templates, apply the previously saved garment file. CC4 will only apply the saved skinweight "design" to your original garment. I frequently use proxies for complex drapes... otherwise, it would be technically impossible with CC's interface, which still doesn't allow you to import skinweighting from your favorite 3D software (which are better suited to the task!).
