Ped preview and outfits

Ped Preview

Ped Preview puts clothes on a real freemode ped in 3D.

How to get clothes on the ped:

• On a piece page, click Preview on ped. Each piece you preview is added, so you can build up a whole outfit.
• Right-click a piece in the Explorer → Preview on ped.
• Drag .ydd files from Windows onto the page, or click Add clothes files….

On the right, On the ped lists what’s on. Pick a colour for each from its list, or remove it with ✕. Take everything off clears it.

Buttons along the top:

• Walk plays a walk cycle (Stop ends it). Good for checking clipping.
• Body files… picks the folder with the bare ped body, if the studio couldn’t find it in your GTA V install.

Mouse: drag to turn, right-drag (or middle-drag) to move, scroll to zoom, double-click to reset.

Where the ped body comes from

The bare body under the clothes comes from your own GTA V install. The studio finds it by itself (Steam, Rockstar Launcher and Epic installs, including Grand Theft Auto V Legacy) and keeps a copy in %AppData%\Noxsware\baseped. If it can’t, previews show the clothes without a body and say Shown without a body: the ped body from GTA V has not been found yet. Use Body files… or Settings → Base ped folder to point at it.

Note

The 3D previews need Settings → Performance → Draw the interface with the graphics card. If it’s off you’ll see 3D preview is off. Tick it and restart the studio.

Outfits

Outfits builds a full outfit from your project’s pieces, one per slot.

1. Pick Male or Female.
2. Pick a piece for each slot you want. Leave the others empty.
3. Click Preview on ped to see it.
4. Type an outfit name and click Save outfit. It appears under Saved outfits.
5. Export preset (JSON) writes the outfit as component_id / drawable / texture values for clothing menus and scripts.

Gallery

Tools → Gallery shows thumbnails of your pieces in a grid, filtered by gender and kind. Handy for spotting duplicates and missing textures at a glance. It shows up to 400 at once.
