Adding clothes to a rigged character in Blender is a fairly simple process. First, you'll need to add a mesh for the clothing. To do this, go to the Add menu and select Mesh > UV Sphere. This will add a UV sphere to your scene.
Next, you'll need to add a modifier to the sphere. To do this, go to the Modifiers tab and select the subdivision surface modifier. This will subdivide the sphere into a more manageable number of faces.
Now that you have a mesh for the clothing, you'll need to add a material to it. To do this, go to the Materials tab and select the Add New button. This will bring up the Add New Material dialog.
In the Add New Material dialog, select the Cloth preset. This will give the clothing a realistic cloth material.
Now that you have a material for the clothing, you'll need to add a texture to it. To do this, go to the Textures tab and select the Add New button. This will bring up the Add New Texture dialog.
In the Add New Texture dialog, select the Image or Movie button. This will bring up the Open dialog.
In the Open dialog, navigate to the folder where your texture is located and select it. This will add the texture to the clothing.
Now that you have a texture for the clothing, you'll need to add a UV map to it. To do this, go to the UV/Image Editor tab and select the New button. This will bring up the New UV Map dialog.
In the New UV Map dialog, select the Unwrap button. This will unwrap the clothing onto a UV map.
Now that you have a UV map for the clothing, you'll need to add a vertex group to it. To do this, go to the Object Data tab and select the Add Group button. This will bring up the Add Vertex Group dialog.
In the Add Vertex Group dialog, enter a name for the vertex group and select the Add button. This will add the vertex group to the clothing.
Now that you have a vertex group for the clothing, you'll need to add a weight to it. To do this, go to the Weight Paint tab and select the Add Weight button. This will bring up the Add Weight dialog.
In the Add Weight dialog, enter a value for the weight and select the Add button. This will add the weight to the clothing.
Now that you have a weight for the clothing, you'll need to add a bone to it. To do this, go to the Armature tab and select the Add Bone button. This will bring up the Add Bone dialog.
In the Add Bone dialog, enter a name for the bone and select the Add button. This will add the bone to the clothing.

Q: How do you attach clothes to a rigged character mesh in blender?
A: There are a few ways to do this, but the most common is to use the Weight Paint tool.
With your character mesh selected, go into Weight Paint mode and select the clothes mesh. Then, use the brush tools to paint weights onto the character mesh. The areas that are painted white will be affected more by the clothes mesh, while the areas that are painted black will be affected less.
You can also use the Vertex Groups menu to manually assign weights to vertices, but this can be a bit more tedious.
