Updates Announcements

#159

I have a few questions.

  • Will this be compatible with R15 & R6?
  • Would we be able to control clothes thickness?
  • Will the clothes be material based or textured based?
  • Will the clothes fit on every avatar?
  • Would the 3D clothes overlap 2D clothes
  • Can developers add this into the game?
  • Would there be different thickness locations? (Jacket over shirt)
  • Will the 3D clothes overlap t-shirts, or will the t-shirts go over the 3D clothing
  • Will the 3D clothes be free or for robux?
  • Last but not least; Will the clothes be animatable / wind effect?

Youā€™re forgetting the important key factor here, Roblox is made to be easily accessible and make children able to create their own games.
That, plus the fact itā€™s supposed to support all type of games, itā€™s not as easy as just making something for one game, itā€™s an entire engine used by a whole community.

Had you not seen this? This gives you a good perspective on why youā€™re wrong.

Whenever I enable this feature my custom avatar system becomes this horrifying mess of triangles :frowning:

Any idea on how I can fix it? Iā€™d love to use this to further aid in-game customization, but I hope to god we fix this particular side effect before it graduates beta, otherwise I will have legit lost 7 months / 800 hours of work :sweat_smile:

EDIT: So it looks like the update took the C0 and C1 of the meshpart welds into account, whereas previously they were largely ignored. I think I can get things working under these constraints, but if anyone else is having a similar problem hopefully this saves you some time :+1:

I managed to get layered clothing to work on my avatar tonight which is pretty neat!

However Iā€™ve observed a really unfortunate side effect to the way my Character Realism system interacts with layered clothing. Iā€™m worried my system might be screwed if thereā€™s no possible workaround, since I reckon this is done for optimization purposes.

The system works by patching Motor6D.C0 on the fly, using the characterā€™s rig attachments as an origin point. These Motor6D patches unfortunately donā€™t seem to be permeating into the system, and even make it fail to bind on occasion.

I would hate to have to ditch this system just to have layered clothing in our game. If thereā€™s anything that can be done about it, I would greatly appreciate it :slight_smile:!

I would love to see Roblox fix this for Realism, something about moving your camera and the layered clothing attaching properly just makes me go yes!

This looks really interesting! Iā€™m going to try to try using this for fun and see what limits the deformer has!

I think we need a plugin for this, we could customize the thickness, and put it on our avatars n stuff easily. From what I read, it looks pretty difficult and time taking to make 3D clothes.

I canĀ“t activate it, it will not be saved, and when you open the roblox studio it deactivates, which can be about it.

I have been waiting for this update since it was announced! the is going to be the best Roblox update ever

#178

These features are amazing, thank you Roblox for doing this!

Anyways, I tried doing this, everything worked except one thingā€¦ When I use the plugin and do what is told, the mesh becomes very long and doesnā€™t look like it did itā€™s job AT ALL.

As you can see, the mesh is stretched and very weird, maybe Iā€™VE done something wrong, but it could be like that because itā€™s in Beta still. :kissing_heart:

'cuse me, but what the hell is this thing

#182

Probably not gonna happen. I donā€™t think Roblox cage deformation is that accurate.

Just something to be aware of before fully releasing the feature in every gameā€¦

What I recently experienced in Studio:
While having the cage mesh beta feature turned on, resizing the animated skinned mesh custom rig broke the animation (Mainly for rig with more than 1 part; the bones moved, but not the model). Turning on this feature also broke some current skinned mesh custom rig (mainly for rig with more than one part; some parts are not where they supposed to be). Turning off the cage mesh feature fixed the problem.
