How to set up modular character

[L.F.A]

@TheSceriffo

I don’t have clothes, I have faces, upper body, and lower body and I swap the whole body part, like in the picture above. I don’t have a base character in underwear it’s a bunch of faces, upper body parts and lower body parts

@TheSceriffo

I’m having trouble with the bones/skeleton. Which skeleton should I use as a base for all the parts? I tried already importing them with the same skeleton but an error message comes out saying impossible to merge bones

If your character has facial bones and you want a modular design, it’s better to export head skeleton separated from the body’s. Perhaps that is the reason for the “merge errors”. Take a look at Metahuman Sample project and see how it is setup. So, all body parts and accessories will share body skeleton: shoes, hats, helmets, backpacks, clothes, etc. Hair meshes and assets will use Head skeleton, including the alembic groom assets.
