Overview
Cloth Tool is a standalone Windows app for building GTA V clothing packs for FiveM and singleplayer. Import your .ydd / .ytd files or a whole FiveM resource, preview them on a real freemode ped, fix what the checks find, and build a ready‑to‑drop resource — for GTA V Legacy, GTA V Enhanced, or both — all from one window.
What it does

- Live 3D preview — see your garment on an actual
mp_m/mp_ffreemode ped, with your own textures, in GTA's light at any hour, walking, running and jumping. See 3D Preview. - One‑click building — a clean FiveM
streamresource with correct GTA naming and a generatedfxmanifest.lua, a singleplayerdlc.rpf, or both. Packs too big for one collection are split for you. See Building. - GTA V Enhanced — build for Legacy, Enhanced, or Legacy + Enhanced, without Cfx.re's Alchemist. See GTA V Enhanced.
- Problems panel — checks catch broken naming, missing textures, limit overflows and rig problems before they reach your server, most with a one‑click fix. See Validation and Logs and Problems.
- Import anything — loose files, folders, whole FiveM resources (
.zipor folder), Durty Cloth Tool projects anddlc.rpfpacks. See Importing. - Live Link (Premium) — edit textures in Photoshop, GIMP or Substance 3D Painter and meshes in Blender, and watch the change on the ped. See Live Link.
- Creative tools — Model Studio, Texture Creator, Tattoo Creator, Ped Creator, Photo Studio, Scene Creator and more for Premium users.
