Help me create hijab cc :(

Hi. Please always provide the blend file, the package files and preferably the picture of the problem.
We cannot give you a specific answer without knowing what exactly the mesh looks like. It being a hoodie says nothing about its length.

But in short:
- clone a lingerie set, export the blend, open it, make head_1 visible and selectable;

- select head_2, in 3d view press Shift D, then Esc to duplicate;
- select head_2.001, shift-select the lingerie set, join with Ctrl J. This will be your reference mesh;
- import the hoodie in the scene, transfer weights and uv_1 with Nearest face interpolated, vertex paint;


- Remove unused vertex group from the mesh with this addon ( enter 0 and click on purchase, in Blender go to File - user preference, switch to addons, choose install from file, choose this file)

Haiya, I'm too trying to make a hijab. And it's.... hell.
It's much harder than a normal top or even a skirt.

From my experience in creating a hijab, you can't expect to use data transfer modifier and get the weight paint job done. It probably only give you a half or a quarter job done. Thus you have to weight paint manually, to fix the rest.
And that's where the gate of hell will open.

My suggestion, you should make other thing like pants or skirt. It will give you a little bit higher level of difficulty. You'll learn something more gradually. In my opinion making a hijab is a too far away of a leap. More complications. But continue if you please.

Now, the reason why the data transfer wont give 100% the job done is, even if you done it correctly, CMIIW yours and my hijab are usually puffier than any cloth on the TS4. So some areas may not get the transfer.

Another basic problem of your hijab is, it's still still in high poly. You haven't retopologize it. Make it low poly. If this term is alien to you, well new stuff you ought to master. Although high / low poly doesn't have direct influence the data transfer result, but it influences another aspect of the game.


My answer won't give you a direct solution, but Mauvermorn usually can give you a more thorough answer.

I started also from YT. I also get confused as a beginner.

I have a guide to make a CC, it's not a start to finish guide on how to make one.
But it may give you some direction hints. It's a compilation of my journey on learning to make a CC.

It may shades some light (or confuse you to the darkness ahahaha...).

You will not be able to adapt this item as it is right now no matter what because a portion of it exists in front of the arm. When the sim will move, the arm will clip into that area of the mesh. If you were to try to avoid it, the mesh would be shaped weirdly in other poses.
The only way to make it work is to reshape the mesh in MD so that it is not in the way of the arm.


there are other issues:
- in md either model in quads and keep Particle distance high or retopologize the mesh;
- accessories come without the body attached to them. You must not join them with the top;
- there is something crazy going on with the weights. Did you use "head" from the rig as a reference? This is the mouth cavity, not the head itself. Always make sure to check what is what because they are named differently for different items. You need to join the duplicate of the real head with the duplicate of the nude top, transfer uvs and weights from it, then remove unused ones. You will also have to delete some of the facial vertex groups from the list and normalize weights (you do not want an accessory to move with eyebrows or the mouth, right?)

- transfer uvs and weights with nearest face interpolated;
- you will have to paint the mesh with multiple colors. 007f02 at the top (until the jawline ), then either with 007f00 or with 00ff00, whichever will work best.

In short, unnecessary difficult choice of the garment for a beginner, so it is best to postpone finishing it

mauvemorn I experience the clipping too on my hijab project, I don't see a way to avoid it. The mesh area between upper arm and body is always problematic in animation.

I start to think that in TS4 there are certain type of clothing that aren't suitable for TS4, looking from the rigging style.

I also look at somebody's works who made a lot of hijabs. Most of them only covers the neck, head, a bit of chest, but not so low down to covering the arm.

My guess he/she avoided the same problem.
