Solution: add positional sliders much like body size sliders to certain costume parts so we can adjust them. As it stands now you already have them automatically adjust with the physical characters body so if people are really this worried about clipping this works for everyone.

Don’t really care though so long as we dont have half our belt clipping through a skirt or something.

As you'll have different costume slot, i think you could do one with the beard without a mask, and one without a beard with a mask and then you can turn on the one or the other :)

It's a clip on beard ...

As long as costume pieces don’t clip with body parts (or, if it’s part of a set, the rest of the set), I can manage (unless, of course, you put a shirt over jeans and the waistband of the jeans is poking through the shirt, or things like that). Reasonable exceptions apply, such as if a piece is supposed to be implanted cybernetics, of course.

During our re-work with costume data, we have been running into the question lately:

[b] How much clipping is REALLY important for the player? [/b]

When Champions Online "Unlocked" and gave the players the ability to clip multiple pieces together, it proved rather successful than a failure, and we were thinking about the prospects of having a 100% clipping-allowed Character Generator rather than one that has occasional limits

Let me give you an example:

[i] You (t.Player) choose a hairstyle for your character and you want to put on a hat. But your hair clips through the piece! Now you, as the player, may have to look for more appropriate hairstyles that will not poke through your hat. Is this an acceptable scenario for you? [/i]

Another one.

[i] You (t.Player) choose a Beard for your character and you want to put on a mask. But your Beard clips through the piece! Now you, as the player, may have to look for more appropriate beards that will not poke through your mask. Is this an acceptable scenario for you? [/i]

So yes, let me hear your thoughts.

I will personally be monitoring this thread as well for potential responses. Please keep it civil. :)

Honestly - I think its resonable to expect me to accomadate stuff like physical feature clipping
In your examples - I think its realistic to expect me to remove the hair.

A example of a issue from the character creator though - if I am wearing a armored chest and a trench coat - currently the vest is clipping through the coat - it defeats the purpose )as both are in different locations - but they overlap in others)

In your example - both the hair & the hat are expected in the same place (on the head) but in the other case - my Trench coat is EXPECTED to be worn over other cloth (I am not expecting to be bare-chested) I could not imagine someone trying to wear a mowhawk under a baseball cap...the two conflict.
