Fitting

Epsil

Here there, very new to the whole 3D modelling thing. I thought I'd start out just playing around editing armors in Skyrim, and had a quick question.

I'm converting an armor from one body type to another, and so of course the armor doesn't fit. Is there a tool that I can use to wrap the armor around the body? Preferably something that I can choose how tight it is wrapped, as I don't want every little indent showing up.

This is all for 3DS Max btw.

Heres some pics of what I mean:




Thanks for your time,

I think you can do something like the push modifier with a base object in the newest 3ds Max, but I haven't used any of new software for years. I would do this making a new topology over your body model, with TopoGun. After importing your new mesh to the scene, give it a shell modifier.

I'm using 2012 so the push modifier won't work sadly, but thanks for the tip.

And I don't think Topogun would do what I want, because I don't want to have the armor cling to every part of her body, like the underside of her breasts.

Thanks for trying though!

in 3ds max 2012 the conform brush was introduced

graphite modeling tools -> freeform -> polydraw -> conform

it allows you to paint a mesh onto another mesh conforming one to another

look it up in 3ds max's help and it will tell you how to use it
