Hi!
I’m just wondering, I want to develop a system where my players can swap their character’s clothing. I understand there are tutorials for implementing item-changing systems, but my question is, should i import my initial character in their underwear (stripped down to the bare minimums) or would importing in clothing that would be swapped out later work just as well?
Thank you!
Hi Cmdr.Kokoro!
Great question! You will absolutely want to import your character with as little on them as possible, because separating the base model from the clothes they came in with is going to be a huge pain! Once you get them their attachment nodes etc. set up, you can give them a default outfit so you don’t have to stare at their nakedness forever. 
Thank you! Do you know of a good tutorial for setting up the clothing mounts and making clothing in general?
You’re welcome! So I was thinking of something like swappable armor but here’s the thing… I think what you’re wanting is going to be more along these lines. It’s going to be much much easier on your system to do things this way, but it is kind of advanced. At least it seems so to me, I’m not a very good modeler
