  2. Create a hair/shoes OBJ according to the avatar file.
    Avatar Prepare an avatar suitable for the hair/shoes to be registered.
    CLO's default avatar or user avatar can be used. 
    Mesh For the sharp angular expression, add an edge to the mesh to be reliably simulated in the CLO.
    Dummy Mesh For complex areas (shoelaces, heels, etc.) where the faces come into contact, wrap in a transparent and flat dummy mesh.
    Make the spacing between dummy meshes smaller and more consistent than shoe meshes.

    Hi, I would like to know how to name the mesh if I were to make the shoe obj in CLO itself. Is it the fabric's name? I keep getting error noti every time I try to import a fbx file as shoes as below:
    Failed to make shoes file. No matching mesh name below:
    shoe_l
    shoe_r

    I get an error message even though I have specified the mesh name.

    Failed to load the ZACS file. Please create shoes file again after changing the mesh name of the 3D file to the one below.

    What should I do after the file is created?
    I need a more detailed manual.
