kungfubellydancer Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) is it possible to fix this kind of clipping that naturally occurs with large dresses in games? Or must I either tolerate the clipping or downsize the dress? http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj27/kungfubellydancer/ScreenShot83.jpg(For the record, the textures shown are only testing textures.)

baduk Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi! Its good timing for your question as there is this new thread that maybe some other people will offer rigging tips on.http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/287629-avoiding-clipping-with-armor-meshes/ The main clipping issue you will find in your sneaking pose. since you have a double layer skirt. First of all you can shorten the under layer skirt if it is not too conspicuous, you will only see the underskirt terminate prematurely if you look up the skirt. You can fade it out to transparency also, I have used alpha transparency to help remove clipping issues before. It is just like cutting out part of the underskirt but it does not appear so abruptly when seen from the other side. When using bone weight copy on the skirt you can first copy weights to an intermediate mesh and then to the skirt to get a different result. It is tricky to rig skirts in a way that mininizes stretching and still eliminating any clipping. So its particularly useful to import skeleton.nif with animation or posing while tweaking weights. If the butt is a problem cliping also you can move it forward, shrink it, or you can add large bloomer style underwear to occlude everything from further down the thigh, and just remove the geometry above that point. It is going to be the pelvic bone influence that pushes the underskirt through the outer skirt. be reducing the weight by small amounts with x mirroring on you can tweak this effect.

Quetzlsacatanango Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Just delete the vertices that you're not supposed to see anyway. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfubellydancer Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 All the unwanted vertices are gone. What's happening in the picture is that the skirt's lacy top layer, is going through the dress as the lady runs. I can't just delete the top later. I'll take Baduk's advice and see what I can do about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzlsacatanango Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 So you are supposed to be able to see that inner skirt part? If you can't/don't want to delete them for some reason, just pull the inner skirt part in toward the middle until it doesn't clip anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
