Thoughts on developing clothing for a character creation system

I suppose that the cloth is rigged to the skeletal rig, right?
What you can do is to set ( depends what software you’re using, but doable ) a push/shrink operator which will be linked to the morph target value, so whenever you modify the morph target of the body the cloth will follow based on the morph target value…basically you’re setting morph targets, but it does everything automatically.
Anyway I suggest you to take a look at Apex, it will do the job for you

Yes, the clothing is skinned to the skeleton. I’m using Maya. I’m assuming that operator is in U4 then?
