INTRODUCTION

---

I was developing a game with thousands of Humanoid NPCs, causing performance to crash.
Switching to AnimationControllers fixed this issue, but introduced a new limitation:

❌ Only Humanoids Can Render Clothing.

TUTORIAL

---

You can now finally dress R6 and R15 Rigs with Classic Shirts and Pants without having to use Humanoids at all! Press the Import button in the Plugin UI to use special optimized Rigs! (v3.0+)

NOTE:

Since v2.2 you’re not required to upload Templates anymore! Simply insert your AssetIDs and you can proceed to apply clothing onto your Rigs in just one click.

How to obtain an AssetID?

v3.0+ does it automatically for you!
Here is a tutorial if you’re using an outdated version of RigWrap.

Step 1/2:

Find a Classic Shirt or Pants on the Catalog . Click on it and you should see the URL at the top of your browser look something like this:

https://www.roblox.com/catalog/607785314/ROBLOX-Jacket

This is the AssetID. Now go ahead and copy the number, which in this case is 607785314.

Step 2/2:

You can manually use InsertService to insert the Asset as a ShirtTemplate or PantsTemplate, then print its Template ID. Run the following code in your Roblox Console:

WARNING:
InsertService could potentially be used by Exploiters to insert malicious code into Studio. Therefore you should never insert unknown IDs into your game.

local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")
local Asset = InsertService:LoadAsset(YOUR_ASSET_ID)
print(Asset:FindFirstChildOfClass("Shirt").ShirtTemplate)

Replace Asset:FindFirstChildOfClass("Shirt").ShirtTemplate with Asset:FindFirstChildOfClass("Pants").PantsTemplate if you’re trying to get a PantsTemplate instead of a ShirtTemplate.

Can I still use Humanoids and benefit from RigWrap?

You are not required to use Non-Humanoid Rigs. You will absolutely benefit from using RigWrap even if your Rigs contain Humanoids. As long as you do not use Shirt and Pants Instances, you will notice significant increases in overall performance by letting RigWrap handle clothing rendering for you.

How do I make my own custom Clothes?

You can upload your own custom Shirt or Pants by downloading the Official Roblox Clothing Template, designing it in a Software of your choice and uploading it via Roblox as a Decal here.

Any suggestions, questions, issues or feedback?
Make sure to share them on this Topic!
Furthermore, here are some frequently asked questions or concerns about RigWrap.

Issues that were solved in v3.3 BETA:

Black spots on my clothes

Black spots are caused by transparent areas on your ClothingTemplate. RigWrap used to render Clothing by modyfing TextureIDs of Meshes due to Roblox’s past internal limitations.

If you are using an older version of RigWrap and want to fix this issue, you can manually insert SurfaceAppearances into the limbs that are affected by black spots. Change their ColorMap to the AssetId of your Shirt / Pants and Roblox will now support alpha texture rendering.

This issue was fixed in v3.3 BETA, meaning you don’t have to manually insert SurfaceAppearances any longer.

Black/white blurry outlines

Black or white lines that appear on transparent limb parts are caused by pixel bleeding. The only solution is to update the plugin and use the new rig with updated UV-maps. This issue was fixed in v3.3 BETA.

R6 Rig can't animate

If you are using RigWrap v3.3 BETA and are unable to animate the included R6 Rig, do the following:

Solution 1: (Easiest)

• Update RigWrap, replace your Rig with the new fixed Rig and proceed with your animation. I have published a quick, untitled update.

Solution 2:

• Select your R6 Rig
• Check each Motor6D and assure that each of their Part1 value is set to the corresponding body part (NOT nil). This includes:

Where to find?	Motor6D	Correct “Part1” Property
Torso	Right Shoulder	Right Arm
Torso	Right Hip	Right Leg
Torso	Left Shoulder	Left Arm
Torso	Left Hip	Left Leg
HumanoidRootPart	Root Joint	HumanoidRootPart

Also, unanchor all limb parts and confirm that your Rig contains an AnimationController.
This will solve the issue.

This issue was fixed in an emergency update on 09/29/26 15:20 UTC.
If you require any assistance, contact me immediately.
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you for using RigWrap.

[Silly_Genius (S_G)]

Thanks a million. This really helps a lot. However, I would suggest that instead of making GUI for this plugin, you can use the widget UI thing ( like the one Archimedes plugin does ), it is easier to move it around and place it wherever we want

But another question : Won’t there be more draw calls for loading the Decals ? It didnt have that sort of thing in normal shirt and pants

[MrTumbleWede (TumbleWede)]

I noticed that the plugin doesn’t work properly with R6 NPCs with MeshParts:

The left is the NPC with a humanoid, and the right is the non-humanoid rig. I used the body part meshes to keep the standard chamfers, but it messed up the alignment of the textures.

The fix was easy, though: add half the size of each axis to the texture offset. I think in a future update, you should have some sort of option to have more control over the offsets. BTW I have not tested the texture alignments for R15 avatars.

Anyways, thanks for the plugin!

[oohypr]

Thanks for the feedback, I’ve been working on a new version for a a while but honestly I’ve been running away from it because all this R15 mapping takes a good while… but I’ll hope to release an update soon

[oohypr]

Thanks for the idea, I’ll add a widget option for the next update!

@Silly_Genius

But another question : Won’t there be more draw calls for loading the Decals ? It didnt have that sort of thing in normal shirt and pants

And yes, there would be more drawing cells

[BlueDeveloper24]

These are not clothing, these are body paintings, or “Classic clothing”.

[Terzilion (Horikita)]

Hello, you need to add Top and bottoms faces to all limb parts

[Punkalox1]

wonderful feature, works well for my case. it could be one of the big tools later in the future.

[sheyler1j (sr_animaciones)]

is it possible that you are working on a way to make it work on roblox player?

[asydisco (porsbal)]

I bumped into this but i have no idea how it works, can somebody shows me an example? And also what rig do you guys use??

[dodorider (RUINED)]

There is a slight offset in R15 models, it seems like an easy fix because its so close to being right, but I wouldn’t know

[asimo3089]

Super helpful thank you. Just needed this for the police clothing displays within Jailbreak.

[oohypr]

I’m happy to hear that! Glad you found it useful for such a huge game

[oohypr]

Hey there,
could you clarify your problem with the Plugin?
For me it works perfectly fine when I’m in Roblox Player:

[oohypr]

Version 2.1

New Features:

• Bug Fixes
• Widget UI
• ↔️ Custom Offsets
• Plugin Video

[oohypr]

Hey there,

apologies for answering late - here is a more detailed explanation of your issue:

The red parts in this image are the Front Face of the mesh (This happens because of UV Mapping) and cannot be fixed. This is the reason why there is a slight offset in R15 textures.

The only solution i know is to make your own limbs (such as in Blender). There you can fix UV Mapping, reduce faces and make more changes to your Character.

Hope this helped!

EDIT: FIXED IN v3.0!

[Sylmat]

Hello,

I’ve tried it and for R15 it doesn’t render a shirt or pants on the top of the lower tower (and hands) and the bottom of the upper torso (and lower arms)

EDIT: Actually it would also be the same for the lower/upper arms

[oohypr]

Hey there,

that’s a Roblox Face Orientation Issue you can only fix by using a SurfaceAppearance or making custom Mesh limbs in Blender.

The part in gray cannot be rendered precisely by Textures or Decals.

Left: Humanoid Clothing
Right: Texture Rendering

Now this is what happens when you render a Texture on the Top face:

The light blue top texture doesn’t render correctly because it
recognizes the beveled sides as a “Top” Normal too.

This is how it is supposed to look like:

Texture Offsets cannot fix this issue.

It’s a small detail that is unlikely to negatively impact the atmosphere of your game.
You can also recolor the limb part in Roblox to make the gray go away (And set Material to SmoothPlastic), which is the quickest solution for your situation.

But the RigWrap Texture Rendering massively reduces loading time and increases performance (like shown in the Benchmark video). It was developed to fix all performance issues for games with many NPCs.

→ If you only have a few NPCs and want the best possible rendering Quality, stick with Humanoids.

I hope this helped!

[EDIT]: All of this was fixed in v.3.0!

[Sylmat]

Hello,

Yes this helps, but couldn’t you still apply a decal, even if its not 100% accurate, it’d still be better than nothing?

Right now if I make my NPC skin-coloured, it’s very apparent that there’s nothing, but if there were to have something (even just a stretched bit of clothing), it would look way better

(I have A LOT of NPCs in my game, we’re looking at potential alternatives to humanoids)
