I'm trying to MakeClothes for a male and female figure - starting with a female figure. Here is my work flow for making a long skirt:
1. Load the "Average Female With Helpers"
2. Delete all the quads except those of the body mesh and the skirt (blue material).
3. Duplicate and then separate the vertices that make up the skirt and rename the new object to "aSkirt". I do not alter the mesh geometry in any way.
4. Select the "Human" mesh and delete the original blue skirt vertices.
5. Remove all materials from this new aSkirt object and then create a new one (pink material). Create a seam down the back and uvunwrap the aSkirt object.
6. Make sure the mesh type is set to clothing for this new object
7. Delete all the vertex groups from this object then hit the "Create Vertex Groups" button - get mid, left and right groups created. ***
8. Select the Human and new aSkirt objects and hit the "MakeClothes" button
It throws an error everytime that it is unable to find vertex 0 in one of the vertex groups (left).
*** I have also tried omitting this step and letting the "MakeClothes" script create the vertex groups - get the same result.
Anyone any idea why I get this error? I'm using Blender 2.71 and using MakeClothes version 0.949
cheers, gryff
