#HIDDEN AND DANGEROUS 2 SAVEGAME EDITOR SKIN#

To save yourself time, most applications will allow you to only skin your mesh to certain joints. Luckily, unlike the base body, you don't need to split up your clothing, so the suit top can be a single mesh and skinned as such. By skinning it, you're also telling the animations how the clothing should bend, including which parts are rigid or move with the character. Skinning clothing is required to have it bend properly with the base body. Without roughness, the surface appearance defaults to 0 roughness, or a smooth surface. Other than those areas, you'll see that the cage fits as best as it can outside the body, including the face cage matching the distance and shape of facial features. We decided that we wanted the outer cage to cover the skin, but not the gloves and boots. It uses a 'twin' cage in the clothing to essentially snap clothing to this outer cage (we'll go over this in more detail below). As with clothing, the outer cage should always fit outside the body mesh, so that clothing knows the shape of the body itself. When you first start with the cage, it's very likely it won't match your character, so you'll need to adjust the 'editable' cage, or the parts directly, to fit to the outer bounds of the body mesh. Below is the 'editable' cage which is a single mesh, the cage parts which are deformed by editing the 'editable' cage, and the mesh itself. The cage for the body is largely the same as that of the clothing, except the final result is a cage that has 15 parts (each corresponding to a body part mesh). You can use the cage supplied by Roblox to start. The first pass of fitting the cage, for now, needs to be done within an external DCC application. The clothing's inner cage defines how tight the clothing's fit is. The body cage tells the clothing the shape of the character without all the fine details of the mesh itself. Both the body and the clothing have the same cage, deformed by the user to define the clothing's fit. Cages are the way that the clothing and body interact. Once we established the base body, we needed to cage it so that layered clothing could fit on it. This cuts down confusion and helps users know what is safe or dangerous when a lot of things are going on. The silhouette, or the shape of your character, should also be distinct and discernable to another player at a distance, which is important for multiplayer experiences. We also posed the hands in a natural posture that could still hold onto something if we wanted items or gear in our experience. The following examples show a very small bend in the arms and legs to allow for this. Implied directionality means that when you're building your character's skeleton, the joints have a small bend in them to know which way they should naturally bend.

This allows a more full range of motion when animating, and also gives you implied directionality to movement. You should model the character in a neutral and natural pose. The only requirements are that they be bipedal humanoids. Layered Clothing lets clothes fit on almost any kind of body, whether it be a fishman, a rock golem, or a human space explorer. This can be anything from our character's body in underwear, to a fishman or even a blocky avatar.Ĭharacter size cannot exceed 2000×2000×2000 units. The base body is essentially the lowest layer of the layered clothing system. As a creator, you'll be able to do the same soon, so follow along to see how we did this. We ultimately settled on a single character design that we named 'The Visitor,' but layered clothing allowed us to create a main character while also releasing the clothing to the Marketplace as a modular component. Because of this, we decided to make the clothing a separate component which would allow flexibility in our design. We weren't sure early on what our actual character would be or if there would be multiple types of characters, but we wanted them to wear space suits. We wanted the users in our experience to embody someone sent to the station to investigate some disturbing events.
