Nightly Build - Feet on Ground

[duststorm]

I wonder if there are any MD developers on this forum who could answer some questions regarding
how accessible\automatable their draping pipeline is for outside devs.

I doubt it. I think you will have more luck with these questions on the MD forums directly.
If you can import or programmatically modify the bounds data in MD then it should be doable to make the bounds auto scale with the human, similar to how we already fit clothes and rigs.

Good point. I will contact them directly.

Regarding the way MH does it: are you basically treating the clothes as skin and linear blend skinning it
according to the same mesh deformations you are applying? Im guessing there is no clothing animation happening behind the scenes?
Also, I have had quite a lot of trouble with the MH T-Shirtt. It interpenetrates with the body.

For posing/animation, the body's vertex weights are transferred to the clothes, and indeed linear blend skinning is used to animate them (you can add physics simulation in blender).
The fitting is done using the makehuman proxy algorithm (makeclothes) which linearly interpolates vertex positions based on reference vertices on the human.

Because it was an outdated garbage item remaining from A7. It has meanwhile been replaced by a better version in the latest nightly.
