GDC Wardrobe Editor Plugin Announcement

Hey guys!!!

You're probably wondering, "Where has GDC been?"

I haven't posted anything for the last 6 days because I've been working nonstop on a brand-new GDC Wardrobe Editor Plugin! I'm tagging everyone because this is a plugin for HS2 in general, but it's especially designed to work with my clothing content.

What does this plugin do? Exactly what the name suggests!

All upcoming GDC clothing releases will be compatible with the new GDC Wardrobe Editor Plugin, and over time I'll be updating older releases to support it as well.

We're currently aiming for a Tuesday release.

Keep in mind that this is a plugin that will receive frequent updates as new features are added. The goal is to make character creation easier, faster, and more powerful while giving you greater control over your outfits and customization options.

We have a huge number of ideas planned for HS2's character creator. At launch, we are not expecting the plugin to work in Studio yet, but I will do my best to bring Studio support in a future patch.

For now, I only have two preview images showing part of a new clothing system being integrated into the plugin. Initially, these features will be focused on GDC clothing, but I plan to expand them further over time. if you want to see the video of this 2 in action, please see my discord!

Release Features (Version 1)

1. Unlimited Clothing Layering

You can now equip multiple clothing pieces in the following slots simultaneously: Top Bottom Inner Top Inner Bottom Pantyhose Socks Shoes

There is no longer any need to ask a modder to move an outfit to another slot, replace an existing clothing category, or edit XML files just to make room for additional clothing pieces. Want to wear two tops at the same time? Three? Go for it. This system works across every clothing category in the game, allowing you to freely layer and combine clothing items however you want.

2. Integrated Extra Texture System

Sometimes I release clothing that includes multiple texture overlays, requiring numerous extra coordinate files to access all available options. With the new GDC Wardrobe Plugin: Extra textures are displayed directly inside the plugin. Simply click and apply them. No more storing large numbers of coordinate files. Cleaner folders and easier organization.

This is a huge quality-of-life improvement and greatly reduces clutter.

3. Easy Blendshape & Material Controls

Many GDC outfits include a large number of blendshapes and material options. Instead of hunting through Maker or opening Material Editor repeatedly, the plugin provides: Dedicated blendshape controls Quick-access material sliders Easy-to-use customization windows Everything is available in one place.

4. Material Presets

You can now completely change the appearance of clothing with a single click. No Material Editor. No texture swapping. No complicated setup. Current planned presets

include:
Leather
Knit
Denim
One additional style still being finalized

These presets don't simply adjust details—they change the actual visual appearance and texturing style of the clothing itself.

5: GDC Wardrobe Environment Effects

This is one of the most experimental features I'm currently developing. Certain GDC clothing will support dynamic environmental effects, including: GDC Snow Effect GDC Rain Effect with Real Clothing Drip Simulation The previews shown below are early testing versions and not final implementations, but they already demonstrate the direction this system is heading.

🚀 Planned Features for Future Updates

Creator & Poser FK Points

Create and save your own custom poses directly inside Character Creator.

Texture-Based Wrinkle System

Clothing will react to character poses by loading different bump maps and wrinkle patterns based on movement and body position.

Colormask Preview

Switch between normal and colormask views to easily identify RGB mask locations.

Colormask Expansion

Expand clothing customization from traditional RGB channels to up to 10 color channels.

Seek & Hide (Cyan Body Brush)

Paint directly on the body to make specific areas transparent and hidden beneath clothing without creating separate body masks.

Auto Fusion

Automatically combine coordinates and clothing pieces to generate random outfit combinations, similar to Character Fusion.

Auto-Matching Materials

Edit one clothing item and automatically apply matching material changes to other clothing pieces using the same material setup.

Example:
Change a detail on a top and the matching skirt updates automatically.

Global Material Override

Apply a shader or material setup across an entire outfit with a single click instead of editing each material individually.

Asset Favorites

Save your Material Editor settings, detail textures, and clothing customizations as presets and quickly apply them to other outfits.

Take Me Back (Undo System)

If you make a mistake while editing your character or clothing, simply revert to a previous state and continue working.

Material Inspector

Hover over any clothing piece to instantly view:

• Material Name

• Shader Name

• Current Texture Path

• Texture Resolution

• Material Parameters

• Active Sliders

Auto Coordinate Generator

When enabled, a coordinate file is automatically generated and saved whenever you save a character, eliminating the need to save coordinates separately.

Keep in mind this are future pluging updates.

Thank you all for your patience and support while I've been working on this project. I'm incredibly excited to finally share it with you and see what everyone creates with it.

❤️ Thank you everyone!
