Skinning skin tight clothing.

MamoruK

So I've always had a problem of not being able to effectively skin skin tight clothing on a character without having the flesh mesh protrude out in places, does anyone have any tips/tricks for this?

Make sure that the clothes have a topology which is similar to the underlaying body. Then just transfer the weights from the body to the clothes.

Yes this or,...
if possible delete the body skin polys.

The better way to handle this is to have a different model for skin-tight clothes, with no skin polygons underneath the fabric. Any skin that does show would be welded to the edges of the fabric. You can also have a little overlap if needed, for example a small flesh pocket for an open collar. This way you avoid excess overdraw, excess vertices, excess transforms, etc.
