Full HDT Dress

fighter139 · May 23, 2016

I thought I'd share this impressive piece of HDT work I found on a Korean tistory blog: http://hetia.tistory.com/806

GGX for UNPB

I've been interested in getting a full-length dress or skirt HDT-enabled (DEM Victorian, TM Ballgown, etc.), but for me there's a lot of difficulty getting the proper .xml export from HCT working in 3ds max. I've used Canderes' tutorials and a lot of trial and error, but usually my constraints are messed up and the mesh goes haywire in-game. I'd love to see a how-to video from the creator of this mesh.

It's a little twitchy in-game when standing still, but I think GGX is pretty good considering how few fully physics-enabled clothing items there are. I'm going to re-attack the DEM Victorian full-length skirt mesh using this .xml as a guide.

Why would you use HDT PE for skirt?

Only thing its good for is... well anything bethesta made, and still there would be better alternatives even for those.

But for real, try HDT SMP you wont need HCT and it does wonders for cloth.

Also https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/3800385-a-guide-to-hdt-smp-usersmodders/ there is greate quic quide for SMP in first 2 posts.

And for reference there is few long skirts few short skirts, few boobies / asses, and accessories (earrings and eyepatch), and lots of SMP hair. (pm me if you dont find some of theese, i propably wont answer instantly because i rarely visit here, but ill get back to you.)

I agree that the cloth physics are way better with HDT-SMP, but I keep getting this error where the physics-enabled mesh "falls" on to the floor. I've read the guides here and on the nexus where it says you make the keyframed bone's weight zero, but that didn't solve the falling mesh problem. I'm still scratching my head with that one. Besides falling off, the mesh did seem to behave properly (looked like floating cloth) until it fell on to the VirtualGround object.
