ReCloth - The unbearable lightness

ReCloth

This a plugin that, when enabled as a clothing plugin, replaces most of VaM's clothing rendering pipeline.

Key features:

• Bone weight skinning
• XPBD cloth simulation
• Bilateral smoothing for better detail preservation
• Built-in guide mesh simulation for multi-layer garments.

This is truly amazing! I see infinite potential here. Thank you for this great gift, wizard.

By the way, does this support custom shaders?

Thanks!

Not yet it doesn't, but it will come at a later time

Can I simply understand this plugin allows us to use standard skinning weights? This would make it ideal for things like jackets, hats, and rigid props that we don't want warping with the body mesh？

Pretty much. Please refer to the tutorial on how to transfer and export weights

I really like this plugin! amazing features.

I'm probably missing some nuance..

How to avoid clothes falling behind the skin ?

Look at my problem

Thanks for trying it out!

The problem seen when you untoggle "sim enabled" but leave "Use Guide Mesh" on, it is a known issue, I will fix it in next update. For now just make sure if you untoggle Sim Enabled and Use Guide Mesh together, so everything fall back to bone weighted skinning.

On the other hand the issue you see when sim is all disabled can have many causes. Most likely due to morphnodes not generated properly. It will need some digging to root cause. I have DM you on discord

I highly recommend trying to use blender to do all the weight transfer job to save the back&forth porting hassle，just need to first rig the clothing to the armature of G2F and then use a data transfer modifier on the clothing or use transfer weight command at upper menu in blender weight paint mode.
And a premise is that people know how to use Daz importer or other tool to import the daz character with armature to blender and it‘s good investment once for all. I love blender even more：）

Would this plugin be used for making t-shirts bridge across deep cleavage instead of falling into it?

regguise updated ReCloth with a new update entry:

Fixes and Updates

• Fixed an issue where when "Sim Enabled" is unchecked, and "Use Guide Mesh" is checked, the clothing mesh would be stuck in place
• Added smoothing (Legacy) for guide mesh. Iteration can be adjusted under simulation tab
• Added simulation passthru for hard pinned vertices in Guide Mesh Sim. Now if a clothing vertex has guide mesh nodes that are hard pinned, and their weight sum > 0.8, the clothing vertex will use its bone skinning result directly

Agreed. I have always used DAZ because it fits better with my work flow, but I have had people told me Blender transfer produce pretty much the exact same result.

If no sim, yes, as long as you have good weights authored.

With sim the breasts area are tricky, some fine tuning is often required.
