Merging Geometry - ousnius/BodySlide-and-Outfit-Studio GitHub Wiki

Functionality for merging geometry (shapes) can be found under the "Shape -> Merge Geometry..." menu in Outfit Studio.

The following dialog will open where you will need to choose two shapes for merging:

There are a couple of things that need to match up on the source and target shapes for merging to work. Essentially, you can only merge shapes that are set up in a similar way and use the same shader/texture to prevent any unwanted results. Any mismatches will be displayed in the dialog for you.

Potential situations that will prevent merging include:

• Target shape must be different from source source.
• Partitions do not match. Make sure the amount of partitions and their slots match up.
• Segments do not match. Make sure the amount of segments, sub segments and their info as well as the segmentation file match.
• Resulting shape would have too many vertices.
• Resulting shape would have too many triangles.
• Shaders do not match. Make sure both shapes either have or don't have a shader and their shader type matches.
• Base texture doesn't match. Make sure both shapes have the same base/diffuse texture path.
• Alpha property mismatch. Make sure both shapes either have or don't have an alpha property and their flags + threshold match.

Delete source shape:
By default the source shape will be deleted after the merge, but there is an option to keep it. By keeping the source shape, you will receive a shape with both of their geometry merged but also still have the original left to work with.
