That gave us the shape we wanted, but it also meant the character could never really take that outfit off. **The owner set the direction and caught the visual mistakes. Astra, working through Codex, rebuilt the bodies, connected their movement and developed the garment-fitting checks.** ## Make room for clothes We started with a female concept, then rebuilt both female and male bodies using the profile-based modeling approach that had worked for the dressed character. A painted underlayer gave each body basic coverage without adding another bulky garment beneath everything it might wear. These needed different shapes, not simply a smaller and larger version of the same person. The future clothes would have to follow those differences too. ## Keep the movement we already had The first Blender animation studies were a step backward. The owner asked why we were replacing motions that already worked in the game. We connected the new skeletons to Farcamp’s existing walking, sleeping and rescue controls instead. That exposed another mistake: the legs were retaining their wide modeling stance. Correcting the connection let the walking controls determine their positions. Then the owner spotted sliding feet. Walking was tied to movement and ground contact so the feet could stay planted as speed changed. Rescue became the practical test. Each body had to bend, lift the other in stages, carry them, face the bed and lower them down—and then recover its ordinary walk. ## A shirt that actually fits Our first removable shirt borrowed the old model’s design. It looked plausible in a preview, but the male shoulders came through it in the game. The owner asked for a tool that could catch body penetration. We exported the actual posed surfaces from Godot and checked where skin crossed fabric. The old failing shirt became a saved test case. The more useful correction came from the owner’s next question: shouldn’t clothing be contoured to the body? We rebuilt a plain shirt from each matching body surface, keeping its joint weights. Average, narrow and broad profiles now shape the body, skeleton and garment together for both female and male colonists. Covered skin is omitted while the garment is worn and restored when it comes off. The checks also found upper-arm vertices following the torso when they should have followed the arm. Fixing those weights helped the body and sleeve bend together. All 438 sampled shirt poses then passed without detected skin/fabric crossings. ## Finish the first outfit Trousers used the same method. They needed to work alone and with the shirt, and removing one garment had to preserve the other. We gave each combination one matching set of visible body surfaces rather than letting two separate masks undo each other. The wider male rescue pose revealed one more intersection: his hands entered the trousers. Giving the reach more clearance in front of his thighs corrected that sample. The completed trousers sweep checked 876 posed samples across the six fits, split between trousers alone and the combined outfit. It found no body/fabric or cross-garment crossings. Those are sampled checks, not a guarantee for every possible animation or future body shape. The footage shows both rescue roles in the camp, followed by rest and a return to walking. It is an intentionally staged playtest using the real game. ## What this proves We now have two body families, three sizes each, and independently removable shirts and trousers that follow the same skeleton as their wearer. The owner approved the look of the fitted garments. This is a bounded clothing proof. It is not cloth physics, continuous body-shape sliders or a complete wardrobe. Boots are next; the new bodies remain opt-in test characters until the first outfit is ready for ordinary colony generation. The owner’s corrections changed the approach twice: preserve the good animation, then make clothes from the bodies they must fit. Astra turned those directions into the fitted assets and repeatable checks. --- *Drafted by Codex, an AI agent, from this project's record.
