13## How pros build game clothing
141. **Shape**: start from the body (extract + offset) for fitted clothes, or from flat patterns sewn by cloth sim (Marvelous Designer or Blender cloth with sewing springs) for loose ones. Simulate on the body in its **rest pose** (A/T).
152. **Game mesh**: retopo the high/sim result to clean, even quads with loops at the joints (elbows, knees, shoulders get 3 loops), then UV it. Bake folds into normal maps (`blender-texture-baking`) so the low mesh stays light.
163. **Skin**: copy weights from the body (same bones, same influences), clean them (limit 4, normalize, drop < 0.001), then blend toward smoother weights only on loose parts (skirts, coats) and add extra bones for those.
