Taylor is designed to take a piece of clothing designed for a specific figure, and add morphs from that figure to a piece of clothing designed for that figure. V2 clothing is not designed for V3, so it shouldn't work. Taylor isn't designed to take the morphs from one figure type and apply it to clothing designed for another clothing type. You can't take dork clothing and add Mike morphs. Taylor is great for adding morphs (like Muscular1 through 4) to clothing that doesn't have them. Very helpful since most clothing for sale is designed to fit only the base figure. Taylor is also designed to work with only P4 file types. The new P5 file types are compressed, and don't read in properly. Saving as a P4 type should correct any problems. I don't believe Codetwister is doing an update for Taylor. I hope I'm wrong. Someone mentioned in another thread that Codetwister thought that dynamic clothing for P5 would replace any need for Taylor. However, since there hasn't been any kind of real output of dynamic clothing for any figure, other than a very view pieces, it looks like we'll have a use for Taylor for quite a while. Dynamic clothing also takes so long to pose/drape, with so many possible problems, that I never use it anyway. Taylorized clothing is often done for specific body variations. There's a set of cloths for Young Comic Hero (Poserstyle Mike variation), Slim Michael, Boris, and a number of Vicky and Stephanie variations. These may or may not have actually been done with Codetwister's Taylor. They just include morphs used to fit the base character's new morph set. Daz also sells a set of modifications to their Mike base clothing that include all the morphs that come with Mike 2. More clothing for each figure is also coming out with more morphs built into it as part of the base. Beastmaster for Mike at Daz has many of the base morphs included. As far as I know, there's nothing that will take a piece of clothing for one figure, and make it fit another.
