What is interchangeable character and cloth, and how Clothy3D works?
An interchangeable character is a special rigged tetrapod base character whose skeleton and skein weight map can be interchanged with any other interchangeable character of any shape. It is generated by either Character Convertor or Skeleton Transfer , and used as a body double for a traditional rigged base character which shares the same skeleton, skin weight map and shape.
An interchangeable cloth is a special self-adaptive cloth which can be dressed by any interchangeable character using Dress3D . It is generated by Cloth Convertor by converting a traditional 3D cloth model (static mesh).
Via interchangeable character and cloth, any traditional 3D cloth model can be dressed by (i.e. rigged to) any traditional rigged tetrapod base character instantly
