peteradam6, sorry for some delay with the answer and I'd like to thank duchess110 and Alley for assistance!

I just published PR5 Cloth System guide in my portal on marked place. Hope it will be helpful.
If You still will have questions feel free to contact me by PM on forum.

If you are having trouble with a particular purchased outfit, you could post which one or send a note to the developer and perhaps the creator could help you.  It is a bit confusing at first, but it's because Vit is very organized and has created groupings for you to create just about every sort of combination.  This is useful to save polys when you don't need all the layers or vice versa when you do.  It also lets you apply the same texture, i.e. shirt to two different bases.  But it does take some getting used to compared to other systems.

I know that I include the name of the upper or lower used in Full in the name.

For example

PR5MC_CL2_L4_UPPER(RL_UpperB)GreenCamoHoodie

So add the PR5MC_CL2_L4 Upper to the character.

Name stands for.....

PR5MC (photo realistic 5 Male Cloth)

CL2 (Cloth Pack 2)

L4 (name of upper used)

UPPER (meaning it is an upper layer)

RL Upper B (select this from the drop down in the Upper Tab)

and load this material on the RL Upper B.

Follow same logic for lowers.

Not having done much texturing for Vit3D lately due to beta testing etc, but just a quick reply with some possible solutions.

1 - Check the Upper Layer and see if it has a drop down to select another layer. As I know some have collar etc on a different upper layer.

2- In your other post on iClone thread https://forum.reallusion.com/Topic125829-281-1.aspx  you mention shirt and jacket. Now it could be a lower combo. This is where Vit combines a lower and upper cloth all on the lower. So you could have jeans and tshirt on lower and on the upper a jacket.

Hope this might help.

This system looks great, but I find it ususable. It's so complex that it takes an hour or more just to work out how to apply a simple set of clothes. You need to supply project files with ready-dressed characters, not expect people to study for a Ph.D in your character system. :angry:

About thumbs...
I know about this issues (legs distortion on thumb) and have the same thumbs for both PR5 male and female. I can expect that it's some iClone 5 issue with thumbs generation for G5 body parts for characters with custom bone scales. Complete PR5 characters look normally on thumbs.
Sorry, I have no idea how to fix this issue :(

About ready-to-use materials..
I already started to make fashions (materials) for this collection and they will be published separately as soon as will finish them.

Cloth designing...
There is no difference in designing cloths (creating materials) between this collection and any standard models for texturing -- methods absolutely the same. So I did not planned to make some special tutorial.

Only difference -- this collection allows more upper-to lower combinations and if You will create material for one cloths part it can fit to other cloths part with the same texture layout (see info in first post). But it's more important for creating materials for sell. If You going to make materials for "internal use" just create them as You usually do for standard models for texturing (CloneCloths).


Vit

Thanks sjonesdc ! :)

Skirts, dress, coats, overcoats and shoes already in my plans, but they will be published as separate packs or addons. Of course models in this packs will be cross-compatible with models from this collection.

As I told it's first but not last cloths pack for PR5 female and I did not forgot PR5 male too ;)

Vit

Mike, I understand your question. As I told this counter from "Project Info" inside iClone and if I'm not mistaken iClone calculate triangular polygons.
And of course I do not make any secrets from my UV (it visible in cloths templates as white hair lines) -- see attach to this post.
So these UV pictures also shows topology of cloths models in this collection.


Vit

These look great!!! Is it too late to add a skirt to the pack?
