Meshes for Multiple Bodies - How?

[LovelyLouise3]

I have a quick question about making mesh clothing and the different mesh bodies.

For example...Say I made a t-shirt style top for the Belleza bodies and Maitreya body. The top or mesh is going to lay different between each Belleza Bodies (Freya, Isis & Venus) and the Maitreya Body. However if I make different Mesh models that requires different Ambient Occlusion & Texture maps, then how can I make a universal HuD that can change the textures on all the tops if they are using different Texture Maps?

I'm sorry if I'm not explaining well. I'm still just learning.

Best approach would be to use the same mesh, for the bodies,  but fitted and aligned to each body by pushing the verticles around, this way you keep the same UVs, same maps. Whenever possible, I do this.

Thank you for your response. I did try this just didn't look right to me, thought maybe there was another way. I'll keep trying.

If you’re using blender, try the lattice deform modifier? I think maya has it too.

import your mesh into the scene with the new body and then lattice deform it to fit the other body. It would be a little faster than using straight proportional editing. Once you have the general size and shape you’d just need proportional editing to touch up errant vertices.
