3D Layered Clothing is Now Available!

Is there a reason for the layered clothing not being able to fit/wrap properly on blocky avatars? I’ve tried almost all of the new layered jackets, and they don’t seem to fit well.

Can agree on that one, they look horrible on blocky avatars. Almost as if roblox didn’t care.
Guess i will stick with “classic” clothing on my main avatar.

“at this time.”

So there’s a potential interest in them working on it :eyes:

Taking a look at the character base for modeling layered clothing, the body is a lot thinner and rounder than a cubic avatar, so it’s harder for meshes that are intended to wrap around this kind of geometry to match the vertex normals of a 1.0 character

Im getting very confused, I just want to find a file containing necessary items to use in making Hoodie and a Shirt. Can anyone help me?

I’ve noticed some very strange behavior with the new Layered Clothing beta.

For some reason, when putting layered clothing on NPCs with blocky R15 (no package), the clothing seems to stick to the middle of the character. It still bends with the arms and legs though.

However, when you apply the EXACT SAME configuration to the player’s character, it works properly.

When using any package it works as expected on NPCs.
The method I’m using for adding the jacket to the character is the following:

humanoidDescription:SetAccessories({{
	AccessoryType = Enum.AccessoryType.Jacket,
	AssetId = jacketID,
	Order = 10
},unpack(previousAccessories)},false) -- previousAccessories is humanoidDescription:GetAccessories(false) with any other jackets removed

If anyone has any info as to why this is happening, please let me know!

can you elaborate on how to put layered clothing on NPCs?

Layered pants only seem to be layered to the template rig correctly, the rest have issues with it even though they all have correct caging.

All you need to do in order to add layered clothing to NPCs is this:

local NPC = workspace:WaitForChild("NPC")
local jacketID = 0

local humanoidDescription = NPC:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):GetAppliedDescription()
local previousAccessories = humanoidDescription:GetAccessories(false)

humanoidDescription:SetAccessories({{
	AccessoryType = Enum.AccessoryType.Jacket,
	AssetId = jacketID,
	Order = 10
},unpack(previousAccessories)},false)
NPC.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(humanoidDescription)

Note that this will reset the NPC to the default HumanoidDescription settings if you don’t already have a working HumanoidDescription for the humanoid. Also, if it already has layered clothing on it will stack them.

This seems to not work with StarterCharacters, is that intentional?

(It worked on regular avatars.)

Best. Update. Ever.

Joining in the conversation because I know things have probably been said about this but they really need to be emphasized. And I’m speaking as a player first and foremost.

I love this update but the deformations done on non RTHRO characters are a bit extreme.

Trench coat as shown in the catalog:

Trench coat on my avatar:

These are two completely different items at this point. For some reason, the coat bulges out in random places and the cuffs on my non-rthro character are so unnecessarily exaggerated. And this isn’t just for the coat. There isn’t an article of clothing that isn’t ridiculously thick (and I don’t mean that in an appealing way.) It’s misleading and it makes the entire layered clothing feature feel like a push to force players into the rthro body type. Players do not like ‘pick your poison’ features. I was trying to look like Neo, but I look like I’m in Hogwarts. And there’s probably not gonna be a trench coat in the catalog that won’t make me look like I’m in Hogwarts. And we’re not even getting into the fact that the free t-shirt makes me look like a football player.

Speaking of rthro, as far as I know, there aren’t any basic rthro packages players can buy to actually wear these clothes as advertised, which is even stranger than the weird cuffs, because you would think for a feature that obviously prioritizes the rthro body type, Roblox would have a selection of rthro avatars that don’t already have an outfit gorilla glued onto them to wear. I can’t even wear the trench coat how I want to because there’s no basic rthro avatar that I can pick.

There are a couple of ways you can tackle this problem:

  • changing the deformation setup for non-rthro avatars to bring the clothes closer to its original look and make it look more consistent on everybody
  • making new rthro AND non-rthro characters (with customizable skin tones and no built-in clothing) that players can use if they want to adopt 3D clothing
  • adding one or more flexibility sliders to either the body scaling setup or the clothes themselves so players can at least determine how the clothes will fit on them.

I understand that proportions are going to make clothes look different, and I also understand that cartoony body types are naturally going to make clothes look cartoony by nature. However, that does not mean you can’t make the clothes deform consistently. I don’t think it’s impossible to make this all work, but if you don’t, UGC creators are going to do what they have already been doing for accessories and make duplicate clothes for different body types just so the clothes can look right on different avatars. Roblox already did not have any infrastructure for grouping duplicate or alternate colored items, and as a result, all the duplicates are going to hang out on the catalog, ultimately making the 3D catalog clunkier and closer to the mess that still is the 2D clothing catalog.

Can the avatar catalog API documentation be updated, specifically the assetType Id’s? With the release of layered clothing we now have more asset types, and while I was able to figure out the types using the process of elimination, it would be helpful for the official documentation to be up-to-date. Subcategories also need to be updated.

Is there a way I can apply this to a Dummy?

not bad honestly looks great for some avatars if you can style it that is :wink:

There are still plenty of reasons to use R6, Layered Clothing is completely different from all the other things you’ve listed there.
