FiveM clothing tool: build your own clothing packs

Addon clothing in FiveM in short

Clothing in GTA V belongs to the freemode peds mp_m_freemode_01 and mp_f_freemode_01. Each piece consists of a model (ydd) and textures (ytd), sorted by body part and number. Addon clothing adds new numbers without replacing the originals. Well-known collections such as EUP work the same way: many uniform pieces as extra items for player characters.

Forge handles the sorting: you work on the piece in the 3D view and the build produces a pack with the right names and numbers. A detailed guide is in Build a clothing pack with Forge.

What the clothing studio does

• Painting and layers: colour, your own graphics and patterns over the original texture, back to the original at any time.
• Colour variants: GTA keeps variants of a piece as separate textures (_a, _b, _c). Forge edits them too.
• Clean UV with six sides re-lays a messy texture sheet; the existing texture comes along.
• The mirror hint shows where lettering would appear reversed on one side.
• Inventory image from the model for your inventory script.
• Open existing pieces from a folder, for example from a purchased uniform pack, and repaint them.

Your own models: OBJ to clothing

If you modelled your own clothing piece in Blender and fitted it to the ped, “OBJ to clothing” turns it into a GTA piece with ydd and ytd. Forge takes the skeleton and bone weights from a GTA base piece, and the original stays untouched. The piece lands in the pack as a new item with the next free number. You get the body for fitting with “Ped as OBJ”.

Paint and export peds

You open GTA peds such as s_m_y_cop_01 from the game files and add-on peds from disk. You paint them like clothing, for example with your own badge, and export the whole ped as a FiveM resource.
