SIMTexturePainter | Paint SIM textures directly onto clothing in VaM
Give them some breathing room!
SIM textures control how cloth simulation behaves: black areas simulate freely and hang loose, red areas are pinned in place. By painting these values directly onto your clothing, you can fix clipping, shape how fabric drapes, and get realistic cloth behavior without ever leaving the game. A big use case (which was my main reason for making this plugin), is that often times clothing is designed for the base G2 model, and not models with larger breasts. This would lead to unrealistic wrapping of clothing around the breasts. Using SIMTexturePainter, you can easily make your own SIM textures for you models to give them more "breathing room"
