So I'm here one and a half years after upload, but I just wanted to say that I'm really grateful for your videos. I'm not trying to make a game, but 3d printable models for DND characters, and learning how model, dress, and pose characters is suuuuper useful! Thank you very much :)
Since people are still clicking in on this, and i apologize if this is mentioned in the video if I haven't gotten to it yet, but you can also transfer the weight painting from one mesh to another and it'll almost perfectly match up, instead of this manual tweaking he shows. There's a couple short and simple tutorials out there, and it can be a bit picky, but it does produce really good results!
There's no need to transfer the weights in this case. As the clothing meshes are duplicated from the body vertices they keep all the weight shapes. He just adjusts them after scaling up the clothing meshes. It's basically the same as creating a new mesh and transfert the weights, then adjust them to fit the mesh. Just less work.
i havent even downloaded blender yet, i decided to take on the task of learning ue4 and blender, your tutorials are so straight forward, i can actually understand what and why youre doing something, thanks for going through the trouble, im subcribing
This is the first time I've commented on TH-cam, but I have to say, your tutorial series for modeling and animation are great! I've been following along and I already have a new character running around in my game project
Cool video, however, I do feel that you are going to end up having a fair bit of mesh bleed to correct for when adding other animations to the character, more so the more extreme skeletal movement your animations imply, say with a strenous climbing animation, or the like. If you have two (or more) animations to work with, the iterative model of simply correcting the bleeds where and as you see them becomes unwieldy, as corrections to fix one animation can break another. If you have loads of animations, that problem scales very poorly. I suppose the shape keys to shrink the character mesh selectively can work, but, if we're doing selective "culling" anyway: Why not establish a model where the character is actually culled entirely where appropriate? I think textured clothes, along with more selective 3d-meshes to add brims and such to them, would be more workable, at least for e.g. a computer game or the like. Love your videos! Lots of great work.
wow this video like your animation videos are a big help and a strong starting point to where i begin the improvements. using your content as a fundamental reference of how to do certain things!!!
Don't most games make the body and the head seperate objects so that when the player is wearing clothes, there is no body? Essentially treating a naked torso as a shirt.
yep, thanks too i made it that way and it worked almost perfectly(with the exception of the shadows showing the corners of each separated object ;-; but that's probably a blender issue)
That's really good. In makehuman there's a Make Clothes script but I wanted a more generic way to make clothes/armor. The shape key thing was really cool!
@@muhammadsaad4373 i am four months late but just select in object mode the pants, select the armature then press control or command +p and then select with automatic weights then position the pants in the right spot. Then test to see if it works
Hi Sebastian, I've really enjoyed your tutorials so far - they've been so helpful and easy to follow! I have a question - would it be easier to hide the body parts by just not rendering them when clothing is equipped to avoid fiddling with shape keys? Would this method also improve performance or am I just being naive? Thanks Sebastian
Hello, happy to hear it! Hiding the concealed body parts would be ideal (and there would indeed be some small performance gain as well). Unfortunately in practice it's a bit awkward, because we'd have to split the body up into different parts (potentially very many parts, if we have some clothing/armour types which reveal different areas of the body). Since the body parts would be separate objects, there will be inconsistent shading at the joins, making visible seams whenever those areas aren't covered up. For this reason I decided to go with the shape key approach instead. I know it may feel a little bit 'clumsy', but in the end I think it works out quite well.
The hair won't work for me. When i add thickness it morphs strangely and comes through the lower portion of the head whilst the hair on the top part remains the same
I heard in another video that it is better to do the clothes before rigging, because it saves you a lot of time weight painting. Can you confirm that is true?
I am struggling with the pants. I cannot make them fit. No matter how much I adjust Alt+S and then smooth, there is always a little bit down at the feet that's missing. I am sure as hell I selected that part. Help me, please.
I wonder though. For optimizing do other games usually just cut away the parts inside that isn't shown? TF2 does this with different miscs such as the zombie skin which has visible bone and flesh on the arm for example. Meaning that the default arm would cover up the skin's mesh. So they instead have a completely different model without the arm for those specific skins or certain miscs that "remove" parts of the default model. Also it would seen pretty wasteful to have 30 rendered legs you don't even see. Maybe the ankles and wrists but everything else is covered up which would take frame rate for no reason.
I'm having trouble in 3.37, cause even if I press "m", it'll show stuff like move to Collection and I can't seem to find the small unlabeled buttons in the header even if I go to Object Mode. (Btw I'm using Blender 2.8)
strange at the begining i pressed alt+g and alt+r to get back in normal pos but the characters right leg doesnt seem in same position as the left cause the pant doesnt fit the left leg although its ok for the right leg
blender 2.8 HA! you liked layers ? well they are gone , now you have to use collections ;) , which there ain't much difference between H and Alt H .... unless i'm missing something , oh blender why do you have to behave this way.
How were you able to keep the mirror modifier on with having animated already? I don't know if I did it wrong, but I had to apply the mirror just for the armature to attach properly. Not sure if I missed something. Also these videos are awesome! Thanks for all of your help.
Making Shape Keys for the arms didn't work out for me, so will probably have to skip straight to the Integration part with the complete model. When scaled down, the arms became completely separated from the torso. Edit: Found the issue. I did not do "Remove Doubles" on the model in Part 2. In Blender 2.8 and above, select the whole model, right-click -> merge -> by distance. HOWEVER, this screws up the whole armature and animations meaning, if you are like me, you have to go back all the way to Part 2...
I don't believe , today I said myself ("hmmm 3 week that I haven't had some notification"), I like your tutorial, but my PC doesn't accept 3D game :(. I'm going to buy a new PC next months :D.
Wouldn't it be best to have a system to hide different parts of the body like the legs, arms etc. ? This is how it's done in gta V depending on which clothes you wear
depends on the model , this one don't have alot of vertices so it's alright to keep it under , if on the other hand you have a body that have lot of vertices and on top you add the clothing which also have alot of vertices , then yeah removing the body part underneath is required as it's not used and just consume resources for nothing. But... Correct me if i'm wrong on this but i believe that some game engine will know if it's being draw by the camera or not and cull it out for you , i think unity does this by default, in which case it wouldn't matter
I apparently managed to get rid of his feet when I was making the shoes (I assume) and I didn't realize until I finished the hair so I can't even undo my way back to having feet :( Is there a way to get them back, or do I have to remake them?
Why are we doing clothes like this? I've been messing around with weight on the pants for over two hours now and it still wont stop clipping through the body. I'm about to give up on this entirely. I had a feeling this was how you were going to do clothes and I knew from the get go that it was going to be a nightmare. I appreciate all your hard work and tutorials...but this just isn't working for me :( I'm just going to stop now because I know Its going to be the same thing with the armor.
You should remove the body whenever your character gets some clothes (just separate the head from the body). It will solve the problem without causing any issue (it isn't seeable anyways) while also reducing polycount.
I'm having a problem with animating. Whenever I playback the animation, it only plays the idle animation, and I tried switching actions in the action list, but its not working. I need help!
When are you going to make the Armor Tutorial ? By the Way your tutorials are great and you probably had alot to do in Reallife the last 3 Weeks if i should be right i hope you got everything sorted. many thanks from my Side :)

It’s a really great tutorial, but I can’t help myself to comment on the outfit. Seriously man, would you wear pants like that and in medium brown? Did you have to completely emasculate Ken’s dummy version? :) You can never go wrong with denim friendly.
