Solved How do I make a high poly necklace?

[TI_vam]

Above is CUA, below is Cloth.
They are made from the same Obj file.
Why does the necklace imported by Duf bulge out?
Do I need a repository for this?

A cloth will conform to the skin's mesh, a CUA doesn't.

Too many vertices seem to have been affected by the morphs.

The way the system works was kind of explained by Atani above, but to make it clearer:

• Importing an "object" as a clothing piece will try to conform said object to the character. Polycount does not matter, shape does not matter, it will try to make it conform.
• Importing as a clothing piece imports the object like a cloth. So, smooth and "soft" (just like cloth). Anything that should feel hard/rigid will completely loose it's original "aspect" using the clothing import system

For a necklace, you should make a custom unity asset, eventually with a physic simulation (like with hinges / joints) and use it as a CUA in VAM.

Jewelry as clothing works if it is really low poly, where each part which moves is a single polygon, sim painted to act as joints, as a single face won't deform. You can then fake the geometry with alpha masking and normal map/textures. Making a chain like this could be a challenge though. SupaRioAmateur has a great guide that breaks it all down.

High poly cloth are not video game friendly when come to rendering and physics sim, Please use UNREAL ENGINE, bye~ JK. 1 earring could be easily over 20k. For props needs high rigidity like the earrings you might want to consider using low-poly...

Fortunately, thanks to some plug-ins, I found that I could make it look like clothing. Thanks hazmhox.

It was exactly the guide I was looking for. Thank you Origin69.
