AVT File Format Details What It Stores AVT files store avatar-related data such as mesh/model information, skeleton rig data, sizing data, pose, motion, accessories, bounding volumes, and arrangement points. They also contain specialized metadata like arrangement bounding volumes, points, and default poses or motions. Primary Use Cases Digital garment fitting and draping. Customizing human body measurements for virtual sizing. Consistent avatar handling within CLO workflows. Saving preset avatar poses and hair/accessory configurations. Strengths Native integration with CLO3D and Marvelous Designer. Preserves avatar-related data such as sizing, poses, motions, bounding volumes, and arrangement points. Stores sizing data that can be used to adjust avatar proportions within CLO workflows. Limitations Proprietary format with limited support in general-purpose 3D software. Motion or avatar interchange with other 3D tools may depend on external formats such as FBX or COLLADA rather than AVT alone. Common Software Support CLO3D, Marvelous Designer, and CLO-SET 3D Viewer.
