Heya all, decided per my last post to try MD for some more realistic results on clothing, after getting an avatar into the program and fiddling around with a tutorial it seems my object does not react the same too cloth? It will not drape and form folds, an it is rather far off the body. I changed the distance to skin down…
Hi! I'm an artist in games with around 10 years of work experience. Always wanted to post here but never did.
