Layered clothing export settings

Export your mesh or model as a .fbx or .gltf to take advantage of all of Studio's 3D import features. When rigging or skinning a layerable model, these file types contains all the mesh and texture data, including the rig and influence data, you need to later import into Studio.

Before exporting

Before exporting, ensure that you are only exporting the Roblox supported objects related to your model. If you have any modifiers to your mesh or project objects, make sure to apply or delete them before export.

You can export layered clothing models with the following object structure:

• Armature parent

  • Bones / joints
  • Primary mesh object

• Cage parent object

  • Inner cage mesh object
  • Outer cage mesh object

You can also export shoes together. Even though left and right shoes are separate accessories, you can either export the left and right shoe individually, or export both shoes at the same time using the following structure:

• Armature parent

  • Bones / joints
  • Left shoe mesh object
  • Right shoe mesh object
• Cage parent object

  • Left shoe inner cage
  • Left shoe outer cage
  • Right shoe inner cage
  • Right shoe outer cage
