@DanFessler Yeah that was my first thought too. But trying all day and can't get results I'm happy with (artifacts, still visible after normal transfer). Keeping intersections would be nice on for polycount (and not having to repoto at all) but :|

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

Is there a better, more automated way to smoothly connect things together. I have these "fur tufts" (left) that are just intersecting, and I want to merge them into the main mesh smoothly. Doing it by hand (right) is annoying (and time consuming lol)

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

@tamamogram Just a simple multiplayer game about sailing to magical islands and catching fish! Can also find scenic locations like next to waterfalls to plop down a house and decorate it, and also build little villages with NPCS

Pirate Froggy NPC DONE. He works the shipyard and sells you boat upgrades, different sails, and other decorations to put on your boat! (needs a name though!)

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

@OverJumpRally Yea >.< I've been doing this too but with no luck!

ARE YOU A 3D MODELER WHO LIKES MODELING SIMPLE ANIME CHIBI HAIR? CAN I PAY YOU TO DO IT FOR ME?

I have way too much on my todo list, and hoping to find someone help lighten my load a bit and take care of this task for me!

Bunny clothing shop NPC done I think! How's she look? Any name suggestions?

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

My solution, make a version of the body with the legs combined as if they were a dress, copy the weights from the body mesh, then adjust the weights between the legs on the simplified mesh (fewer verts = easier!) then copy weights from that onto the final dress!

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

Getting in the groove of making new clothing pieces but every time I make a dress/skirt having to manually paint the weights is KILLING me

I have a great system for most things, just copy weights over from a base mesh, and transferring morphs, but UGH fixing weights

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

@OverJumpRally @mattworkman Doesn't Marevlous Designer just give you a static mesh at the end?

@IndieGameDAV I already just copy the weights from the base mesh (red in the gif), and it works perfectly for like 99% of mesh of 99% of the clothing's I make, with very minimal tweaks. It's just dresses always freak out between the legs.

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

@dannyaroslavski How does that even export to game engine? I already have my entire pipeline working great fwiw, just this one step is a bit tedious

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

@OverJumpRally Like what? Making the clothes isn't the issue, it's the weight painting that's just annoying

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

@esotericsean Would be great, but the way I have my equipment system working (layering different equips) I couldn't find a way to do dynamic cloth that would work (especially with body customization blendshapes that would need to change the leg collision shapes, etc)

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

@Imran92658176 lol you don't say!

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

@xen_studio No such thing as dumb questions! More subdivisions _can_ help smooth things, but it can also make things messier! More verts to weight = more work = more potential problem areas, too!

[Dylan Meville @DMeville]

Its a pain because there's thickness to the skirt, so I have to make sure I weight both sides properly otherwise the backside clips through the front. And it NEEDs to be thick because of how I'm doing outlines in game. Need to come up with a better way
