Creating clothing for our character
In this section, we will model a basic clothing item for our character that we will later use for the cloth simulation. Feel free to follow along or try to create something completely different. It's time to be creative!
Let's get started!
- Let's begin by hiding the rig from the 3D Viewport – this will make modeling the clothing item easier. In Object Mode, click the rig in the 3D Viewport to select it and press H to hide it.
- Click the character in the 3D Viewport to select it, and then press Tab to enter Edit Mode.
- Press 3 for Face Select Mode.
- For the next part, I prefer to use Circle Select Mode to easily select certain faces of our character. Press W to toggle between the different select modes until your cursor changes into a circle.
Next, we're going to select the faces from which we will create the clothing item. We will be creating a basic shirt item. Feel free to create your own design...
