I have a line of clothing (although a shirt is not one of them) called Real Wear which are basically clothing that are implemented as props. Once of the benefits of such clothing is that it can be removed in scene. You should be able to do a similar thing with the shirt but you will probably want to bone the shirt so that you can control it better while animating the taking off process. 1. Export the shirt mesh: Open character with shirt in 3DXChange, select Shirt and Replace Mesh | Export Mesh or Export from CC). 2. Bone the shirt (with a character skeleton) so that you can easily manipulate it during the taking off process (i.e. match the shirt bones to the character bones): Open in mesh in Blender. Open armature (character bones) in Blender (you can get an FBX free from RL). Apply shirt to armature. Transfer weight maps from CC Body to shirt. 3. Once it is off the character, swap it out with a second copy that has soft cloth applied to it so that it can be tossed aside (or whatever you want to do with it): Animate character in iClone. Animate shirt to match the bones of the character initially and then translate the shirt "character" off the arms. Hide the shirt "character" and unhide a version of the shirt "character" that has lots of soft cloth applied.

I did this twice so far. Lord Ashes' same principal. Basically, you make shape keys to distort the shirt like buttons detaching and such in Blender or alike. A shirtless character is animated taking off their shirt. The same yet invisible character with only a shirt seen has the same motion at the same time and coordinates. all is in sync until the shirt is dropped or tossed.
