Hi all, some time ago I was using a demo version of Rhino and, following a tutorial, I made a close fitting body suit for Victoria 3. I did very little else with Rhino and didn't buy it because it didn't do much with meshes.

The bodysuit I made looks good in Poser and fits really well. I would like to use the bodysuit as a base to make other clothing so I am looking for a program that will allow me to use cutting planes on a obj type mesh to make t-shirts and shorts etc.

It would be good if I could also thicken up or add detail to the cut edges. I know there are a lot of box type modellers around but I don't think they will do what I want. I may be wrong of course.

I don't find it easy learning 3d programs so I would rather not try lots of demos only to find I can't accomplish what I want.

There must be a program where you can load in an obj and create some curved cutting planes, slice the mesh and fold the edges.

Most all modeling programs can do what you want. You can just select faces of the suit and delete them. You could also use transmaps to make parts of the suit invisible.
