Plugins + Scripts ClothingThickness

ClothingThickness​

ClothingThickness adds adjustable thickness to clothing worn by a Person in VaM. Choose an equipped garment and adjust its outward and inward thickness independently. The added surfaces follow the clothing as the character moves, with connecting rims along its boundaries.

You can configure an entire garment or work with its individual material groups. Optional indentation and tension tearing provide additional interaction, while several mesh display...

Hi Servo， great thansk to your work, is there a way to smooth out those rim horizontal edges shown in the pic?

Played with it more, and seemed to have encountered an issue with one setting?
Noticed that my fps suddenly dropped 5 (use NR with FG4x on a 5090), so actual loss was 5x4=20fps.
Isolated it to Physical Resistance.
Disable that and get my FPS back.
My test consisted of 3 outfits worn at same time, each with Thickness PlugIn added.
VL 13's skirt was included. And a top with a bra under it.
Interestingly the bra when all on was good for about 30 seconds, and then it also lost that 5 fps too. Not sure bra delayed that long. 100% repeatable.
fyi: VL13 doesn't have PhyResist On, or few other things, but i added and made own presets.
Screencap just to show PhysRest toggle used,etc.

Hi. Yes, this problem with FPS drops when physics is enabled exists, and I haven't fully solved it yet. VaM is quite finicky when it comes to resources, and I need time to think about how to make it work better without reducing quality.

Good to know. Was a little surprised that just for that setting, that it dropped so much. Reminded me of when do big VAM physics setting changes. Hope you find a way!

2 Vids below.
1st vid has a bra in-between, as extra challenge.

Purpose is to showcase the tearing feature.
Both showing pretty heavy tears developing to almost nothing left for fabric. Goal is to show extreme possibility.
Do wish VAM physics (in this scene used TM) would play nicer with clothing. Or more plugIns could be made for that.
Had to make the top bit thiccer, so get least amount of clipping from both bra and breasts. Still not 100%.

As for Torn holes on thicker top in 1st Vid- do kinda wish for some sloping of the hole edges to dull the holes.
Not sure how that would look. Would it help you think? Or is there another way?
Less thickness is better but means more clipping may likely happen. Tradeoffs.

2nd older vid shows no bra - so less thickness, but did increase sim collision so more space under the top for breasts to dance about.

Really enjoying playing and testing this. So thanks again!
