Tips: Things that I wish I knew earlier in Clo.
🕑 Added 2024-04-07 00:16:12 +0000 UTC1. Shoulder length
Whenever I drafted from instruction that requires shoulder length measurement, I noticed that my shoulder-line seems shorter. Turned out that I've been measuring the shoulder length of Clo avatar wrongly.
For years I've been measuring the shoulder length while the avatar in A-pose. What I should be doing is to measure while the avatar in is attention pose, like in real world. The discrepancy is about 1.5 cm which is huge.
Shoulder length in A-pose = 13.5 cm
Shoulder length in attention pose = 15 cm
2. Easily round the corner.
There is this tool call "smooth curve" under edit tool group. For years I been wasting time doing it manually.
3. Notch tool.
A non-destructive way to mark along a curve is to use the notch tool. It behaves the same way as "add point" or split tools. If you delete a point along a curve, the curve will be destroyed, but if you delete the notch, nothing will happen.
4. Use "add point" tool instead of split.
To add a point, I used to right click the line, then choose "split" in context menu . It is actually faster and easier to press shortcut X (add point tool), then right click the line, which will immediately bright the split input dialog.
