Complete Outfits​

Getting Started​

Creating a complete outfit means that the user will be able to wear it directly on their avatar, without having the possibility to combine it with modular assets. An outfit could be a full-body asset or a combination of top, bottom and shoes. Outfits need to have shoes.

Download our Base Bodies​

To start the model, download our base bodies (female and male). You should create your garment using them as a base, this way they will fit in our system:

3D Mesh and Polycount Requirements​

caution

Polygon (triangles) limits:

  • Outfit: no more than 15k polygons.

Union Avatars use low-poly assets, optimized for real time platforms. Please ensure to create outfits with a clean topology and don't exceed the maximum polycount.

For detailed information on how to create the model, please check our 3D Model Documentation.

Textures and Materials​

For detailed information on how to create the textures and materials, please check our Textures and Materials Documentation.

Rigging and Skinning​

For detailed information on how to do the rigging and skinning, please check our Rigging/Skinning Documentation.

Garment Metadata​

To tell our system how to combine diferent garments, we use an extra file in json format. This file contains all the information required to be able to use your garment. Find all the information on how to create the metadata for your design in the Garment Metadata Documentation.

danger

It is very important to follow this rules. Otherwise your garment will not be compatible with our system and we will not be able to add it.
