It's probably a good idea to do a quick test to see if this works. It's maybe not necessary to have the animations, just the skeletons. Apply the skeleton to the cloth and then export the cloth with the exact same name as the avatar's mesh. F.ex. in case of Jack, the cloth mesh should have the name 'Jack.mesh'. After exporting you can rename the mesh to whatever you want.
The above step is important so that the cloth mesh will internally reference the same exact skeleton file as the avatar. You should ignore / delete the exported cloth skeleton file, but make sure one is still exported. This should allow you to have basic animated cloths that do not morph when the morph modifiers are adjusted. If you want to have morph targets on the clothes as well, see wiki: http://wiki.realxtend.org/index.php/Creating_morph_targets_for_custom_cloth_meshes - Heikki > Hi Heikki! > > thank you for your answer.. very usefull for static objects.
