Animated clothes

KurtR · Jun 2019

I am trying to use some clothes I made in MD with an already animated character. I use the skin modifier on the clothes in max, and attach the bones needed, but when playing the animation I don't seem to figure out how to get an offset from the actual geo, so it goes slightly inside the body at times, which do make sense since its attached to the bones. Is there a way in either max or ue4 to get an offset from the geo?

I am also new to animation so I am not sure if this is the correct way to go about, but it do seem to be only an offset issue at this point. It follows the animation nicely.

You can use the push modifier in max to apply offset.

I was just contemplating that maybe I modeled it too tight in MD. It do however sit nicely over her body in a t-pose, when she bends backward the front is still nice. But I'll do a test with the push modifier and see what that gets me. Thanks, man.

I did get some results, but it's still not good enough. It might be my lack of understanding of proper skinning, when I think about it.

I've identified probably the issue, but I don't know what I am looking for. When I bring it in as t-pose it sits nicely. But when I add the animation asset it jumps out of wack. What am I looking for to resolve this?
