How could I render the character for a character customisation script?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I want to achieve a character customization system like in the popular game MeepCity by alexnewtron.
My issue is to render the character and show all the assets from the catalog.
I’ve tried many solutions, even free models. :laughing: I have not found a solution on the DevForum.

Could we see some of the code you tried?

local function Render()
	ViewPort:ClearAllChildren()
	--Render the character
	local Char = instance("Model")
		Char.Name = ""
		Char.Parent = ViewPort
	RenderHumanoid(Character,Char)
end

--Handle changes
Character.DescendantAdded:Connect(Render)
Character.DescendantRemoving:Connect(Render)

--Initialize
Render()

CameraUpdater = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if Character.HumanoidRootPart then
		Camera.CFrame =  cf(Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame:toWorldSpace(Offset).p, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p)
	end
end)

Unfortunately I was not able to figure out the customization part of this system.
