MetaTailor, the 3D clothing adjustment tool, announced a new plugin that will allow users to transfer 3D characters between Character Creator and MetaTailor with a single click. This plugin, available starting April 2025, will simplify the clothing and accessories adjustment process for characters, optimizing workflows in video games, visual effects, and motion graphics projects.
Improvement of the 3D Clothing Adjustment Process
MetaTailor, launched in 2023, is a tool designed to fit 3D garments to humanoid avatars. It allows converting clothing sets between characters and even between different applications, importing any type of 3D garment and automatically adapting it to any bipedal character. Users can refine the results using sculpting brushes, add accessories like weapons, and export the models to digital content creation (DCC) applications or game engines in FBX format.
This plugin eliminates the need for manual file export and import, streamlining the workflow.
Simplified Integration with Character Creator
The new plugin will allow users to send 3D characters from Character Creator to MetaTailor with a single click. After adjusting the clothing, an "Export to CC" button will return the dressed character to its original place. This process is similar to other Character Creator integration plugins, such as those available for ZBrush, and is designed to improve efficiency in character design projects.
- Character transfer with a single click.
- Semi-automatic 3D clothing adjustment.
- Export of dressed characters to Character Creator.
Compatibility and Availability
The MetaTailor plugin for Character Creator will be available in April 2025. Although the price has not been announced, all Character Creator integration plugins are free. MetaTailor, on the other hand, is offered under a rental system, although free accounts are available for users who wish to try the tool.
Conclusion: An Efficient Solution for Designers
With this new plugin, MetaTailor and Character Creator offer an integrated solution that simplifies the 3D character design and adjustment process. This tool not only saves time but also allows artists to focus on creativity, establishing itself as an essential option for industry professionals.
