I'll do weight painting. Weight painting refers to the process of setting weights for each vertex, which indicate how closely it follows a bone. This is done by painting the weights onto the vertices. As shown in the video below, settings are applied one bone at a time. Vertices painted red follow the bone most closely, those closer to blue follow less closely, and black means they do not follow at all.

This is a movement check. Since this character is layered with underwear, a shirt, skirt, corset, and blazer, I check whether inner layers appear through outer layers when the body moves. If clipping occurs, I use clothing visibility toggles and repeatedly reapply weight painting. This is an extremely tedious and exhausting process.

That concludes the progress report for this time.
