The process in Blender can be omitted depending on individual differences, or it doesn't matter if you use other tools.

• The avatars you use in the blender process for that method are used as simple dummy.

1.Load the avatar and clothes you want to dress up into Blender.

  1_1. Turn on the two options displayed when importing FBX.

  1_2. Adjust the size and shape of the costume to your avatar.

    1_2_1.  Depending on individual differences, this step may be omitted.

2. Modify the name of the clothes bone to be the same as the matching avatar's bone.

  2_1. Copy the avatar's bone name and paste it to the matching garment bone.

  2_2. This can also be done in Unity.

3. Select the armature of the costume and necessary items and export to FBX.

  3_1. Settings for export are set as shown in the image.

Settings in Unity

• This guide is one of the application methods, it doesn't matter if you use another method if you can apply the item!

• The avatars shown in the guide are for reference only, and are not included in the costume you purchase.

1. Import the exported FBX into Unity. Set the Inspector settings of the FBX by referring to the image.

2. After uploading the costume FBX and avatar to Hierachy, turn on Avatar Assembler in Avatar tools.

  2_1. Click the blue + button to add an object.

  2_2. Put the avatar in Base Object and the clothes in Combine Object 1 in the green marked slot.

  2_3. Click Check in blue to confirm that there are no abnormalities in the log.

  2_4. Assemble marked purple! Click to merge the costume and avatar

  2_5. If you look at the orange-colored Hierachy, a new avatar combined with the costume will be created.

  2_6. Self-Test Results Assemble! There is no problem in the work process up to this point, but there is a bug where the bone data of the avatar and the costume are different and do not merge properly.

This part is in the process of being corrected, and when it is resolved, we will provide additional updates and notices.

3. If there are no errors in VR SDK Builder, upload it to Builder&Publish for Window.

If there are any other errors or bugs, please contact us.

We will do our best to help resolve the error as much as possible for the costume.
