Wearables for Animals

KevinGrant

During some recent searches I was looking for wearables for animals and found very little to choose from, aside from stuff like "cat suits", and a lot of stuff related to "furries".  For instance, if I wanted to put one of the stock animal characters, Millenium Dog, in a tux, I don't think that I could get a tux intended for a Genesis Male to adapt to that.  I understand that the market for that sort of thing is so small that nobody would want to work on it.  But even such obvious stuff as dog collars was difficult to find.  Perhaps animal sweaters would be useful as well.  And I wonder if you could get some kinds of hats and eyeglasses to conform as well, depending on the animal.

 

Thanks,

K

I've had tolerably good results with careful application of scaling and collision (if an object doesn't have collision, add it with Edit > Objects> Apply Smoothing Modifier).

Once you scale the tux around the rough shape of the animal (or robot, or armoire, or...), you can then set collision of the tux to the wearer, and that should make it conform pretty well.

The problem lies in outfits with layered materials. A tux's pockets or buttons will behave poorly with collision.

Another option is dynamic outfits, which will more naturally drape over ANY figure. For example, a robot in a dress:
