5. Adding your Own Models

Difficulty: Intermediate




The character creator comes with a number of included wardrobe items, and you can make changes to the available items.


Options such as hairstyles, torsos and legs can be edited by changing the Data Tables in Characters/WardrobeItems


On opening a data table, you can change the names of each item, which mesh or texture it points to, its icon, and which body types it is available for. Keep in mind that meshes may have clipping if you use them on body types they were not designed for.


Ensure that display names are unique, Row Names are not changed once set (as it will invalidate existing characters), and be aware that editing any wardrobe items will change those items on existing characters


Also be aware that the data tables are moved out of the Characters/WardrobeItems folder they will no longer appear in the Character Creator.


Do you want to add heels to your avatars?

These are slightly more challenging to rig and add, but the interface is capable of handling a "heels" toggle which places the character into the correct position for a heeled shoe.
