this is probably a dumb question, but what happens when you pose the character? I'm figuring join the meshes to make the shirt move with the character, but that won't work for posing, will it?

you know ^^
But the real problem was the low volume of the video so i had too turn up the generall sound volume, which caused bangs in my 5.1 system each time pidgin notified me with sound samples.

I'm going to go ahead and ignore that last comment.

Ho many times do Americans have to say "I'm going to go ahead and.." or "let's go ahead and.." It drives me nuts. :)

Great tutorial! Also you can weight paint vertex groups to make the clothes fit tighter or looser in different places. I'm just glad that all my character children can have new clothes for Christmas ;-)

JoOngle, never anything wrong with having multiple solutions :)

Hey Jonathan,

I didn't explain it well enough, sorry about that. ;)
I meant shrink wrap modifier in COMBINATION with duplicating parts of the mesh, as for shoulder straps
you're right – but then again I'd prefer to use a curve for that, there are many ways to do things. When you
work with it every day in the business where you have deadlines within every hour – you tend to pick
the most time-effective solution, and therefor having many ways of doing things – is like an extended toolbox.

JoOngle, with the shirt I created in the tutorial you are correct, it would have been faster to just duplicate the mesh. However, what if you were making a tank-top, or a shoulder strap for a bag, or suspenders, then shrinkwrap would be much faster and easier :) Also many times the topology of a body isn't suitable for clothes, particularly if you plan to use cloth simulation. For simulations you want as even a poly distribution as possible.
