Create Custom Clothing for GTA V with Blender and Sollumz

This video demonstrates briefly how to create an article of clothing from scratch, rig it to a ped skeleton, and convert it to a GTA game file. This video does not cover how to get the clothing into a server or single player game because there are many ways to go about replacing or adding clothing.
Software Used:
CodeWalker / RPF Explorer by Dexyfex - / discord

please make an updated way to do this, cant do anything with this vid since sollumz and blender have updated

[@waschgespielt9388]

Hey I saw that you have already done some tutorials on how to change things in Gta with Codewalker and Blender. I would be happy if you could also do a tutorial on how to create an MLO and so on.

[@shadya7med728]

That would be cool, i would really appreciate a tutorial on making an interior in Blender.

[@AlmaPenadass]

Soon as possible I finish work under my beta protoganists mod which will include in self beta clothing for players, check it soon if be not problems with author rights. For example here's Franklin shirt remade and Michael face remade (only texture). I took the normalmaps from franklin house interior, upscaled the normals and textures, edited under textures looked like in beta and voila!

[@MoogieSRO]

On export I get an error: "No materials on object skel, will be skipped." Nothing gets exported, the process fails. I thought we didn't need materials on anything because they don't get exported? Why is it complaining? And I ticked "exclude skeleton" so why is it even looking at skel's materials to begin with?

[@koteuek2305]

Thank you so much.

[@MendigaX]

We all love Dunuts, isnt?

[@Alex_Naki]

The best tutorials, I'm waiting for more

[@MohammadRajabloo]

Can you make tutorial about making GTA V Custom Ped With Blender Please????

[@MatheusSouza-cy3xq]

Hello, I did all the steps. When I open the game and try to wear the outfit, it becomes invisible, other default mods clothes works fine, but when I export it from the blender, it doesn't show up in the game. Any fix?

[@OfficerTim_]

did you ever find a fix to this? having the same issue :/

[@Mattulf73]

i dont check the part from minute 9... how do i create the lod level iam going crazy

[@wyruZzah87]

Nice.. i just started to mess with Blender and Sollumz plugin. Can you do short tutorial for applying Armature Modifier for converting mp clothes to normal peds. For instance: I have hair from mp ped with different skeleton and i wanna add that to normal ped. Thats a thing i dont know how to do.. :(

[@chunkybeatz]

do you need a drawable geometry for each drawable model ?

[@Prettydays_]

when i parent the drawable model to the skel it changes the positioning of the geom and no matter how hard i try i'm unable to line it back up the way it was before. Do you, or does anyone that sees this, know how to fix that?

[@Torquatus_Invictus]

Same problem here

[@juakorf7438]

Can you make a tutorial about how open and edite xml on Blender? Wich Blender version did you use?

[@masonlequia6284]

so if i were to make my own clothing item, how to i get the textures from blender to codewalker?

[@tallylore712]

So nice, thanks u

[@BuzZedJustNotDizzy]

Is it safe to assume that doing clothing models for Franklin is a similar concept?

[@apessmurfer4796]

the top does not sync with my character's walk cycle & also it doesn't fit on the character (it was on the body in blender though)

[@cazh666]

Were you able to fix it ?

[@DeadP1xl]

It's possible the skeleton you parented the clothing to is not the same skeleton your character is using. If you use a custom ped then using the Freemode male/female skeletons may not line up exactly. There's also quite a bit deeper you can go with shapes/styles, painting weights, and how they move with the skeleton, but I couldn't fit that in a 15 min video.

[@chizy8i8]

i wonder if its possible to do that in other 3d programs like the new adobe 3d software...

[@-kye]

My skeleton doesn't have as many bones for some reason?

[@vanessaafrika7659]

can creators get paid off these clothes or is it just for individual use?

[@santiagodiaz1424]

Hello, could you do a tutorial on how to make sims clothes for gta? Thank you

[@x-_arthurmorgan-_x5528]

I would assume you can just use some program to export Sims models to Blender, then rig it to a GTA skeleton using Sollumz and then weight paint it

[@itsmecc2454]

Would there be something that makes the export of this 0 face value and invisible?

[@pulse7933]

Howdy. Codewalker crashes when I view the model I imported and OpenIV shows nothing when I view the YDD. Any solutions? Thanks :)

yea i am too, did you manage to figure out a way?

[@Bhadges]

Can u show how to rig hair?

[@josefstalin3259]

Can you make a tutorial about add-on peds pls?

[@DeadP1xl]

Add-on peds can be made as a set of clothing that makes up the ped, or even for some peds (especially the animal ones) the entire ped model is basically one piece of clothing. A ped is essentially one or more pieces of clothing making up the full body, and if you can attach it to the skeleton it will move with the skeleton motion.

[@sertoaluns]

If we replace the model and export it, if we replace the material file on the original file, do we accept it or does the export feature work?

[@adultcringe]

When I export, it only exports the Drawable Dictionary and skel. I also don't have all the options you have on the sollumz import/export file screens (Sollum Types, nor Geometry). Any help?

[@nikcowhatmore692]

[@awesomephai7832]

cool vid. what about texture?? can we add texture to the shirt and export it to codewalker too? also about texture made in other app like substance painter or marmoset. will it work?

[@DeadP1xl]

Yes, you can export multiple versions of the clothing's texture each to their own .YTD file. Usually the Spec/Normal maps don't change. I believe this is how it lets you switch clothing styles in game.

1. Export the YTD/YDR files to selected folder using Codewalker (must be in .xml format) 2. Import the .xml files to Blender

[@x-_arthurmorgan-_x5528]

I'm by no means an expert 3D modeler, but I just gave it a try. I looked up tutorials for Blender and kept going at it. I'm starting to understand more and more the mechanics of Blender and Sollumz. You should at least try, and don't expect to make brilliant models right away. Takes a lot of trial and error, but you'll eventually get the results you want

[@backupmemories897]

how to make it glow?

[@x-_arthurmorgan-_x5528]

Set material to "ped_emissive", go into vertex paint mode and make two color attributes for the mesh, "colour0" and "colour1". Vertex paint the whole mesh black in colour1 attribute, then for colour1, color everything orange (Hex:FF8000) and color the parts you want to glow pink (Hex:FFBAFF). You can also change how bright the glow is, I think the setting is somewhere in the materials tab called "emissive multplier". By default, this option is set to 1, but it's already pretty bright in-game. I figured this out when trying to make zombie ped variants, I wanted to make their eyes glow, so in vertex paint mode, I select the "colour0" color attribute and paint the eyes pink to make them glow. The rest of the head should be orange unless you want the entire head to glow for some reason

[@backupmemories897]

​@@x-_arthurmorgan-_x5528 yeah but this make all the shirt glow .. tons of shirt that uses this same model. will glow. what if u want it to be unique and only works on one .
