How to Register Shoes

[@CLO3D]

UPDATE DECEMBER 2022; There has been a change in the EXPORT process. Make sure when you Export as FBX for Scale you choose "cm (DAZ Studio)"

[@GIRLSWORKSHOP]

What scale do I use if I'm exporting from blender? its giving me a failure to add message

[@niallodonnell9355]

I can't believe that I only just discovered this video. Thanks for this. I look forward to following your instructions.

[@CLO3D]

you are welcome! good luck!

[@mazharulislam2071]

would you plz share a video about "how to register hair". it would be a great help for all of us.

[@CLO3D]

We are planning to do this in the near future.

[@dragana14991]

@pranjal kumari I agree, I am struggling so much with the fabric for heels and soles, and there are no tutorials for this at all

[@stevennarbona484]

Hey! If shoes are not created in Clo what can i do ?

[@CLO3D]

We recommend still bringing them into CLO (as FBX or OBJ). So you can then adjust the positioning as needed to match with the CLO avatar foot position. Then follow the steps in Blender and back to CLO as normal

[@xthnderxpnchx]

How would you register shoes if you did not create the shoe in CLO3D? I keep getting the error "The position doesn't match the avatar." Despite me lining the shoes up well in blender on an imported avatar and ensuring the transform is all set to 0 and scale to 1.

[@CLO3D]

Did you try importing them into CLO and positioning them there? Then exporting as FBX from CLO and go to blender.

[@dragana14991]

I am working on the shoes in clo3D but I am struggling so much with the fabric for heels and soles, could you tell me what is the catch, what are the physical properties you use or is there some other setting that helps making them rigid and in place? I tried strengthen, solidify, bond etc. but didn't help completely. Thank you so much and I am looking forward to see the tutorial about the whole process of making the shoes in the future

With same way My blender doesnt import the shoes with colurs textures in to blender. Do you advice what the reason can be?

[@CLO3D]

Hi. Have you checked the description section. As of 7.1 you no longer need to export to Blender to register shoes

[@boomondedesigns]

Would it be possible to register shoes without the use of external software?

[@CLO3D]

Hi. Yes with the newer addition of Register Accessories you can now register shoes without Blender (which is free) or another software. support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/24450919383961-Register-Avatar-Accessory-7-3-

Thanks so much, that's a big help

[@tessakraak6101]

Hi! When I import my FBX file into Clo3d it says: Fails to make shoes file. No matching mesh name below: shoe_l shoe_r Is there any way to solve this problem??

[@CLO3D]

When you export from Blender, be sure to SELECT both shoes in the window and in the FBX options choose "Selected Objects"

[@GeorgiaMT98]

@@CLO3D I am sure I selected both and chose selected objects, but it still says the same

[@CLO3D]

If you are creating high heels you must specify the heel mesh as separate from the rest of the shoe. You are missing a small step somewhere.

[@Rananh90]

@@CLO3D same problem, i check very carefully every step but still it say the same but i notice that the pattern in uv editor of both shoes didnt have same size ( but my 2d wd they r same), maybe error from there?!

[@mponz]

hi! when I try to register the shoes I get this error message: "Failed to make a shoes file. Not all meshes matching the name found." The shoes are named correctly (shoes_l and shoes_r) how can I solve this? thanks!

[@CLO3D]

It is necessary to name the shoes correctly in the external application; shoes_l and shoes_r

[@mponz]

@@CLO3D I already named them but the problem still comes up :(

[@wie_der_mond]

@@mponz maybe because not all maps are in this folder. I got this message after few attempts

[@wie_der_mond]

@@mponz I just solve it by changing "Up axis" from Y to Z, forward axis I had Y. Try it!

[@ngan5564]

why when I followed the instructions strictly but when putting shoes in clo3d it said "Failed to load Accessory File." can you help me?

[@CLO3D]

We would need more information on this. If you would like you can search in our support forum here; support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us and our Discord channel; discord.gg/XHSFgPYT

Hello. I'm getting an error: - Failed to load the ZACS file. Please create shoes file again after changing the mesh name of the 3D file to the one below. - shoes_l - shoes_r. I'm not good at Blender but I don't anderstand where else to check. Could you help me please?

[@CLO3D]

Sorry you are having an issue. You will need to have a basic understanding of Blender to move forward.

[@tanyablanding5446]

Hi Jim Thanks for this was a long-term question for sure, Nice Job! Question, What if you do not have blender? is there a way to do all steps in CLO and then import them back to CLo without the help of blender?

[@CLO3D]

You need a 3rd party app to help; as long as you can set up the file in the same way you could also use Maya, 3DS Max, etc.. As Blender is free, that is why we suggest it.

[@tanyablanding5446]

@@CLO3D did not know it was free Thank you

[@raraworldTV]

hello, I want to ask if it is necessary to unstrenghten and unfreeze before export to fbx, or it is ok if the shoes is still strenghten and freeze?

[@CLO3D]

You can leave them Frozen/Strengthened if you want.

[@BIRNAVIDEO]

Hi! Thank you for a great tutorial. I managed to make a .zacs file but the positioning of the avatar v. the shoe becomes wrong ( the avatar is slightly higher above ground and therefor a bit of the toes show). What can I do to fix this? I exported in Daz cm in clo3d and changed the blender cordinates to 0,0, and 0,010 for scale.

[@CLO3D]

Hi Gigja. Are you using a Custom Avatar from Daz? You may need to the change the scale or position of the shoes in Blender first before you export and register them in CLO

[@NguyenHangofficial]

THANK YOU!

[@CLO3D]

You're welcome!

[@BIRNAVIDEO]

Hi! I created a leather like texture in blender shading and when I export the shoes to clo the texture does not follow even thought I export fbs path copy and embed the textures. How can I make the texture of the shoe follow to clo?

[@CLO3D]

Hi Gigja. This usually has to do with your export or import settings. Have you tested a few other options? For more design help we recommend posting to our Community Forums or the official CLO discord channel which both allow images for better help

[@BIRNAVIDEO]

@@CLO3D Thanks! Yes I've followed the export and import options and several videos but Blender textures become flat in Clo. Does anyone else have this problem?

[@GeSo8787]

@@BIRNAVIDEO i have same problem, textures dont follow with the shoes...did you find anything so far?

[@Mon-sk3oe]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! I'm struggling with registering a pair of flat platform shoes I've made in Clo. When I initially built them I made the mistake(?) of moving the whole avatar up a few inches so that the bottom of the tall platform shoe could touch the grid. I was getting the "position doesn't match the avatar" error. I have since repositioned my shoes to match FeiFei's default pose when she's standing with her feet flat on the grid, with my shoes clipping down through the grid, but I'm still getting the same error. Any thoughts on what i might be doing wrong? *Also, to add a potentially relevant detail, the shoe also has straps that wind up around her calf. Not sure if that could also be causing a problem.

[@CLO3D]

Make sure that when you line up the shoes in CLO your Avatar HAS flat shoes on. If the Avatar does not have shoes on you may still get the position error.

[@Psichari3D]

Is there the same feature in Marvelous designer ? I can't find the equivalent in the avatar menu. If I want to add hair or shoe to a custom avatar, should I set my bones with the same naming convention as Clo/marvelous or is it possible to specify the bone attachment ?

[@CLO3D]

have a look in their support forums. marvelousdesigner.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/topics

[@Sabrina-zp7gi]

thanks for the instruction. how about the hair? the same process?

[@CLO3D]

Actually, yes!

[@webtvhostitatibaweb]

Hello Good Afternoon would there be any video tutorial or video course - explaining how to create these same: tennis shoes and high heels from the beginning, as well as the design or the molds of your application so that we can download and study at Clo? Here are my suggestions and thank you in advance

[@CLO3D]

Creating anything in CLO starts with patterns applied around an avatar.The partner video that covers Tips & Techniques for shoes covers specific techniques to apply to the patterns for success with creating shoes.

[@film_on_film]

Hello! Please tell me why the shoes are registered without the original color? Not multi-colored, but completely white.

[@CLO3D]

Hi. This is because the designer later shows how to register the proper UV Maps for color as seen in the video. For shoes is is recommended to use UV maps

[@cigdemguldas8652]

What kind of file did it add to tumbnail part for uv map ?

[@TatianaRosmarie]

Hello, can you please tell me why my shoes look translucent in Blender? And after importing into Klo, it is also translucent. Thanks in advance)

[@CLO3D]

Try turning on "Quality Render" in CLO. This is a visual anomaly related to the 3D window. Your shoes will render fine.

[@bytribevision]

Hi Tatiana, mine are also translucent. The texture is there when rendering but not in 3d window. Did you ever figure out how to correct this?

[@TatianaRosmarie]

@@bytribevision I understood that it depends on the number of vertices of the mesh. I have high-quality shoes, so this is the reflection in the 3d window. Rendering is fine

[@goldmine1oak525]

It says failed to make a hair/shoes file- the position doesn't match the avatar

[@CLO3D]

The shoes need to line up with the feet of the avatar. Make sure you place them in CLO prior to registering to make sure this is the case.

[@macca_graphics]

Why does he write to me: "Failed to make an accessory file. The position doesn't match the avatar."? I can't continue

[@CLO3D]

Sorry about that there has been a change in the EXPORT process. Make sure when you Export as FBX for Scale you choose "cm (DAZ Studio)"

[@joneienleah]

How can I bring in shoes from Daz? For example if I bring in a Daz Avatar, convert to avatar and then register the shoes. This way I can use custom avatars in avatar and switch the shoes. This would be great to know for hair too.

[@CLO3D]

If you can export just the shoes out of DAZ, there is a chance you can follow the Registering Shoes video that was posted just a couple days ago. As DAZ is a third party application we are unsure of the ability to export like this or if it will work with CLO.

[@nh5729]

Could you please add subtitles?

[@ceesh5311]

automaticly generated subs works fine

[@CLO3D]

Thanks for the help!

[@viniSATU]

it simply doen't work, everything seems fine, but when i apply the shoes to the avatar, they simply doesn't appear... this happens only with the custom shoes that i create.

[@CLO3D]

​ @viniSATU I am sorry that you are struggling. I would suggest looking at our support forums for help. support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us

[@viniSATU]

I found out what is happening, for some unknown reason, CLO is exporting the fbx file with 0 opacity, in blender i can still see it, but when it comes back to CLO is with 0 opacity, now i don't know what to do to make it not do that.

[@bingcoolw]

Hi, I have problem when I input the transparent png to blank layer. It stays the same after all the steps. Can you explain more?

[@bingcoolw]

Also, even I have disregarded the blank part. When I registered the shoes to Clo, error occurred. It said, fail to load accessory file.

[@CLO3D]

Sorry you are struggling with this... the process works as long as you follow it exactly. If the issue is in Blender, you might need to work further in that application to sort out the issue.

If necessary post in our support forums with more detail and screenshots. support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us

Is it the same way to register in Clo V7? I have tried and watched your video many many times. There is still an error, saying the position doesn't match the avatar.
