Hi, I have an issue with a mesh I am making, and are wondering what is causing it.
I'll sent some photos here so you can see it.

The outfit looks overall okay ingame, unless they move their legs out, then they appear weirdly shaped in their upper part of the legs.

That is the only issue, and I can't figure out what causes it. Does it have something to do with the vertexpaint? I used the skintight one with the color #00FF00

Or maybe it is a weightpaint issue??

Hi. You must not join the body with the garment until the latter receives weights, uv_1 and vertex paint. Right now legs received data from the skirt and are behaving as such.
You need to delete the body from your garment’s meshgroup and add a new one.
Also, dresses must be vertex painted with two colors
It is best if you just transfer all this data

- Unhide the reference. It must be visible ( eye icon ) and selectable ( cursor icon );
- Select your item;
- In Modifiers tab add Data transfer modifier;
- Choose Reference as Source object;
- Enable Vertex data;
- Enable Vertex groups;
- In Mapping choose Nearest face interpolated;
- Enable Face corner data;
- Enable UVs;
- Choose uv_1 in Layer selection ( don't forget, otherwise uv_0 will be overwritten as well);
- In Mapping choose Nearest face interpolated;
- Click on Generate data layers;
- Apply the modifier;
- Add Data transfer again and transfer Vertex paint the same way, apply;
- Switch to Edit mode, select everything with A, in Tools tab expand Weight tools;
- Clean with All group;
- Limit total with 4.

I did datatransfer, but there could have been something I forgot in the process. I'll try again

I did remove the body like you mentioned, so I only have my reference and my mesh, and the new body. Everything is seperated, and I am using an older savefile, to not mess it up.

Is it only the uv_1 that should have data transfers?

Also, I am doing my best understanding, since english isn't my first language.

I hope I understood the data transfer correctly.
