Catalog Avatar Creator Update: New Menu Layout for R15 Customization
By James H. Sterling
Switching to R15 unlocks deeper adjustments beneath the initial toggle. Once activated, the CAC Body drawer reveals several granular calibration sliders: Height, Width, Head Scale, Body Type, and Proportions.
These sliders directly dictate how layered clothing shrinks or expands across your torso and limbs. If a 3D coat appears bloated, dragging the Body Type slider closer to 0% pulls outer meshes tighter to the inner torso geometry. Moving the Proportions slider toward 100% stretches the avatar into realistic human dimensions, while dropping it toward 0% retains classic block proportions with modern joints intact.
R15 layered clothing compatibility relies on internal shrink-wrap cages coded into UGC assets. If you combine multiple jackets, skirts, and bags, mesh intersections can clip through one another. Use the layered clothing ordering tools inside CAC’s accessory menu to reassign layer depth, ensuring external jackets render over internal shirts without tearing.
