#Changing custom avatar not working vrchat skin

Sleeves need hidden in the either arm bone, torso in the hip/spine/chest bones, pants in the hip/leg/knee bones, and so on. Every part that is linked to a bone needs to be compressed to that bone. The complex part is how you go about shrinking all of that mesh and having it all work in motion as it needs to follow the armature.Ĭan't simply shrink it all and stuff it in once place for example.

1 for shrinking the clothing inside the base skin, and 1 for shrinking the base skin inside the clothing. Minor clipping can be allowed just as long as the cloths take the shape of the base skin. Breasts mainly for human or more overall for a furry for example. Then alter/shape the cloths to better fit the shape of the skin. In Blender, roughly lay out the cloths so that the 2 (clothing and base skin) armatures line up close enough to be merged into 1. This is the complex one, but allows you to use almost any outfit on almost any base skin. Is purely in Blender and using Shape Keys to hide clothing inside of the skin. It is also often on the Customer to add any/all extra outfits themselves unless they want to pay extra for the Creator to do it in a combo package. What makes that rare is finding a Creator who goes through the effort of making all the outfits and selling everything in affordable packages. This also nearly instantly prevents said avatar from being cross platform due to total number of objects. This is also the not so optimized way to do it as each added mesh/object to an avatar drives up its performance needs and raw stats. A number of clicks really as the original Creator already did the hard work making it all work together. In Unity, all you need to do it make an animation to turn one of those objects of clothing on/off. But that's often the case with higher end creators who made the base skin and cloths. The cloths would need to already be made for that skin base and be their own objects in Unity.

The Unity cloth swaps are mainly turning clothing on/off. And any other way to change it would be with unity or Blender somehow which I have 0 understanding in, correct? It's so complicated I just don't get it xD If you like, I do take commissions and can make something custom for you with that feature and/or other gimmicks.

It legit can double, if not more, the amount of work for that one avatar and most don't see that as worth it for public avatars. Id done a few avatars that can swap outfits, limbs, or even the entire body in one case. Press R on desktop or hold your menu button to open the action menu to see what all each avatar can do. Having something like that on public avatars is gonna be even more rare. Outfit swaps are also a rather rare animation as it QUICKLY complicates the avatar and adds a lot more work to it. Could be split up over several avatars, could be someone else's private version.
