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.
Same here, I prepared my FBX file with mesh named hair and could create the hair in Clo 6.0.460 but once I want to use it I get the error message :
"Failed to load the ZACS file. Please create a hair file again after changing the mesh name of the 3D file to the one below.
hair"
Seems to be a defect, any update would be appreciate.
Hi, I keep getting the same error! how we should name the mesh I already exactly follow the above rules. Everytime I try import a fbx file as shoes always got same error window as below:
Failed to make shoes file. No matching mesh name below:
shoe_l
shoe_r
Is there any staff from CLO could ever answer a question here?
We are running in to the same issues here. This needs to be adressed, why isn't the clo team responding to these comments?
lol its look like nobody care)
same problem!
Here is a more detailed tutorial: https://styllle.com/how-to-add-shoes-to-clo-3d/
Fixed the mesh name problem! Sort of anyway.
I had labelled the mesh correctly but it didn't accept the mesh names until I copy and pasted the text from the error message into Maya as the mesh name.
@erinbennett Hi Can you please explain thoroughly how you managed to solve this error? I'd appreciate this a lot! Thanks in advance!
