HWM Cosmetic Fixes/Improvements - Fast Suit

This addon adds custom models made to REDUCE clipping when using SFM's HWM models with specific cosmetics.

The cosmetics fixed/improved in the pack are the Fast Learner and the Xeno Suit

Clipping is UNAVOIDABLE (Thanks to Valve's "Optimizations"), this addon simply reduces the clipping by a lot. You'll have to pull off some perspective tricks with renders to "Remove" the clipping errors. As for animators, you'll just have to deal with them.

If you want to use the Xeno Suit with one of your renders/animations, you'll have to do a few things to make it looks good:




Finger Fix:

I tried my best, but the clipping on the custom fingers are excessive. Just follow these steps to fix it:

1. Add your HWM Scout model (Scout1)
2. Add your HWM Xeno Suit model and link it like you would any other cosmetic item
3. Duplicate your HWM Scout model (Scout2)
4. Make Scout1 invisible, but not hidden (Not shown in Viewport, but shown in List)
5. Unlink all of Scout2's fingers (except for his thumbs)
6. Add scale transforms to each of the base finger bones (ex: bip_index_0_r) and set them to 0
7. Add scale transforms to bip_thumb_2_R/L, and scale/position them as needed
8. Make Scout2 hidden, but not invisible (Not shown in list, but shown in Viewport)
9. Pose/Animate using Scout1's skeleton

Wrist Fix:

Currently, I am trying to get the helper bone data for the HWM Scout (rotates certain bones while rotating others, Ex: rotates hlp_forearm_R while you rotate bip_hand_R). Until then, you'll have to manually pose the hlp_forearm_L/R bones

1. Add your HWM Scout model (Scout1)
2. Add your HWM Xeno Suit model (Ai_legs1) and link it like you would any other cosmetic item
2b. If you linked it by just dragging Scout1 onto ai_legs1, expand ai_legs1 and find hlp_forearm_L/R under "Unknown" and use the "Default" Slider to fix them
3. Pose/animate Scout1
4. Rotate hlp_forearm_L/R as needed
