G5 CloneCloth



What is G5 CloneCloth?




G5 CloneCloth is a feature that enables you to customize the clothing of your iClone characters by using template maps and textures. You can use G5 CloneCloth to create different types of outfits, such as casual, formal, sporty, fantasy, sci-fi, and more. You can also mix and match different parts of clothing, such as upper, lower, and shoes, to create unique combinations. With G5 CloneCloth, you can make your iClone characters look more diverse and original.


The concept and benefits of G5 CloneCloth




The concept of G5 CloneCloth is based on the idea of cloning the cloth meshes of the iClone characters and applying different textures to them. By doing so, you can change the appearance of the clothing without changing the shape or structure of the character. This way, you can preserve the quality and compatibility of the character while adding variety and style to it.


Some of the benefits of using G5 CloneCloth are:


  • You can create unlimited outfits for your iClone characters with minimal effort and cost.



  • You can customize every detail of your outfits, such as color, pattern, material, opacity, wrinkle, and more.



  • You can use multiple layers of cloth meshes, such as inner sleeve meshes, undershirts, and different kinds of collars, to create different layers of clothing.



  • You can use high-quality textures to produce dazzling and eye-catching effects.



  • You can share your outfits with other iClone users or sell them in the City Marketplace.



The features and components of G5 CloneCloth




G5 CloneCloth consists of three main components: bases, textures, and wrinkle maps. Let's take a look at each component in detail.


  • Bases are the cloth meshes that are cloned from the iClone characters. They are divided into three categories: upper, lower, and shoes. Each category has several bases that correspond to different types of clothing. For example, the upper category has bases such as bodysuit, casual, hoodie, suit, and overcoat. Each base comes with an individual template map that shows the color contour lines and guides for editing the texture.



  • Textures are the images that are applied to the bases to change their appearance. They are also divided into three categories: upper, lower, and shoes. Each category has several textures that correspond to different styles and patterns of clothing. For example, the upper category has textures such as denim jacket, leather jacket, plaid shirt, tuxedo jacket, and trench coat. You can use any image editing software, such as Photoshop or GIMP, to edit the textures or create your own textures from scratch.



  • are the images that are used to add realistic wrinkles and folds to the clothing. They are also divided into three categories: upper, lower, and shoes. Each category has several wrinkle maps that correspond to different types of clothing. For example, the upper category has wrinkle maps such as bodysuit, casual, hoodie, suit, and overcoat. You can use the wrinkle map editor in iClone to adjust the intensity and direction of the wrinkles.



With these three components, you can create endless combinations of outfits for your iClone characters. You can also use other features of G5 CloneCloth, such as opacity maps, normal maps, specular maps, and displacement maps, to add more details and effects to your clothing.
