Are you working on the Model side of trueSpace or workSpace side?
Any examples of the object you want to work on?

I'm interested in both sides (but I prefer the workspace view even if I know that the model side is more complete).
I want to build clothes for (and upon) human characters.

Hey Mick.
Sorry for the delay; too much stuff goin on.
First; what level of detail are you looking for, in the clothes? What style are your characters? Realistic? Cartoonlike?
I am not a specialist in clothing characters but starting a dialog will help others more advanced offer tips, and we can all learn in the process.
Are you short on time? Got a deadline?

Mick,
You could create clothes using the point edit tools like Jim B
does it.
http://united3dartists.com/forum/vi ... 49&start=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
You could also just select the polygons on the model themselves, enlarge their size
giving the appearance of clothing.
http://united3dartists.com/forum/vi ... =32&t=1911" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Another method would be to select polys on the model were a shirt would be for example, copy selection, separate object,
enlarge slightly then modify using the "soft paint brush" tool.

Thank you froo and Steine.
I would like to create realistic and high detailed clothing (and I have all the time of the world :lol: )
I've seen steine's post and it has really good explanations but I would like to build characters with an advanced level of detail.
Thank you in advance. :)

Steinie's way is the only way I can think off.. all you need to do is add good texture shaders of cloth folds with bump maps to make it look very realistic...

Using "Make Human" and "Poser"
http://www.free3dtutorials.com/clothing.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Dynamic Clothes using "Poser"
http://www.free3dtutorials.com/dynamic-clothes.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Other programs now have a "Shell" function that works on
open polys for this very reason.

Other then the methods I previously mentioned trueSpace is behind
the other apps when it comes to creating realistic clothing.
