-- Description:
- Inspired from blender's Sculpting, a plugin that allows you to sculpt clothing mesh in real-time inside vam, primarily made to edit & adjust clothing after import from daz/ blender if wrap doesn't turn out nice from first try. Avoiding the tedious going back & forth from on app to another.
-- How to use?
- Simply load the ClothingSculpt.cslist on a person atom, select the clothing you want and start sculpting.
- Once you're done with sculpting, save the clothing item then finally force reload the clothing.
-- Features:
- GPU based real-time sculpting for clothing within vam with save, load & backup features.
- Ctrl + Z & Ctrl + Y keybinds for Undo/ Redo with 64 undo steps memory.
- Handful of useful brushes inspired from blender: Grab, Draw, Inverse Draw, Inflate & Smooth.
- Sculpt directly on the wrapped clothing mesh, useful to sculpt deformations on clothing in a specific problematic character pose.
-- Additional Explanation:
- Saving the clothing sculpt overwrites the current one whilst saving a backup of current state, you can later restore to any of the saved backups selector.
- For X mirror to work correctly you should freeze person physics first & reset person pose, then sculpt on the clothing item.
(this is necessary as clothing items each have their own unique vertex count & vertex order and are almost always asymmetric in topology so mirroring can't be done automatically, this is how blender solves it for sculpting mirror)
-- Preview Clip:
-- Snaps & Plugin UI:
-- Limitations:
- Can only edit local clothing files, packaged clothing items need to go through clothing creator & be saved locally first as a duplicate before editing.
- Can Max out RAM usage if the clothing item selected is very high poly, only edit clothing under 100K vertices to prevent vam from freezing up & potentially crashing. (vam natively issues a warning upon clothing import if poly count is higher than 50K so you'll rarely come across this issue)
