Clothing adjustments WIP - basic profiles

In this demo video, I'm just experimenting with a few different clothing items to show how different items can have their own profile that gets applied automatically when the item is enabled. 

Select 1080p from the wheel icon on the lower right - if it looks blurry it probably selected 720p automatically.

The profile in the demo consists of the X-Y-Z force components. The plugin simply applies the force of the last selected item to the breast joint. The profiles are just in the plugin's memory as of now, it's not saving them anywhere. And the current UI is just for testing purposes, of course.

In the playable version it'll automatically combine the forces of multiple clothing items if wearing layers. This will probably be done simply by taking the maximum of X, Y and Z from the profiles of all items that are currently enabled. That kind of makes intuitive sense because if e.g. a bra is pushing breasts up, and some layer on top is pushing them up less, then the breasts have already been pushed up beyond what the layer on the top would've pushed them up. But the top layer might still have a higher X or Z component that gets applied. 

I'm wondering though if it would make sense to be able to configure a negative force, and also if it should be possible for a combination of clothing items to have its own profile that takes precedence over the individual profiles. For example, you might want some tight jacket to apply a downward force but only if breasts are being pushed up by a sports bra underneath, or something like that. 

One problem with clothing in VAM is that nipples either protrude through sim clothing, or get tightly wrapped by non-sim clothing. Preventing these issues should be automatic if possible. One pretty simple solution would be to just auto-apply a negative value to the "Nipples Apply" morph, for example. In the case of sim clothing, the plugin can detect if the cloth actually covers the nipple, but for non-sim clothing it'd be guesswork. The value could be calculated so that the skin gets smoothed out, or it could just be a fixed value. A multiplier for the effect could then be adjusted in the profile.

Also, I will make it possible to configure a profile for left and right breasts separately. Breasts are mostly the same size so the same physics works for both, but clothing might be very asymmetric, like a dress that covers just one side or something like that.

I hope you liked this demo!

Yes, it can already be applied to any clothing item in the version shown in the demo :)

This will be awesome! Hoping it can be applied to any clothing item once completed?
