Thoughts on developing clothing for a character creation system

Got it…full character customization…

Inside the AnimBlueprint you need to look for the ModifyBone SkeletalControl, which allows for full scale/translate/rotation of the bones, which you can then link to a slider.
Since the slider will have a min-max that value will also affect the scale/translation/rotation of the cloth itself, so you’re modifying two meshes with a single operation.
For scale, translation and rotation the weighting on the mesh will do the job for you for both the character and the cloth, but for the “skinny/fat” component I suggest you to set it up inside Maya ( kinda like the push/shrink operator mentioned before ) and export it inside UE4…basically a morph target
A quicker and better solution without any extra work would be to use Apex for some of the cloths ( trench, skirts and so on ) while use standard weighting for shirts, jeans, and so on…

Sounds good. Thanks for the tips!
