I have a SMPL mesh whose vertices have been modified by a displacement map representing clothing on top of the template SMPL pose. As mentioned here, when converting to a SMPL-X mesh, the vertices of the SMPL-X mesh are calculated using the nearest SMPL vertices/faces. Shouldn't I expect to see the clothing displacements in the SMPL-X model as well in this case? However, I get the undressed SMPL-X model as the output. Why is this the case? Note that the displacement map is not a separate variable in the SMPL file, but has already been added to the Mesh.v variable.
