cant give you a complete tut, but maybe some advice. first: there is a very very good amapiforum at WWW.3dcommune.com brycetech offers a very good cd with amapi tuts that cover Amapi 4 to 6.you can get it there. Try to get amapi 5.1 somewhere, they sell it very cheap at ebay ( got mine there,50$ ,no warez ,with manual) Some magazines offered a free copy of 5.1 awhile ago. the modelling posibilities of 5.1 are much better than 4. the way i use most, i draw a couple of horizontal and vertical curves around a body( export your figure from poser as 3ds file and import in amapi) and than i use the gordons surface to modell the cloth. The top in the image was done that way. if you want something for your own use and not for selling you can use the imported figure,cut away parts you dont need,size the rest ,do some tweaking and you have some cloth for your figure.
