Hope I'm not too late to add some info here. I also hope that you can let me know whether there are any issues with Vicki's body protruding through her clothing that I am not aware of, and which need to be fixed. There are few issues that Zygote is aware of that can cause Vicki's body parts to poke through her clothing: - Not using the final Vicki update .cr2 file. This is a free download from Zygote's site; follow the link from the front page. This latest update (check it's entitled "Vicki" and not "Victoria") alters the collar joint parameters slightly. If you put the clothing on the original Victoria .cr2 files then body parts (particularly the shoulders, forearms and wrists) can poke through the clothing. - Having the "Soften Hips" morph targets set to different values. The Vicki figure reads in and restores with a full body morph target called "Soften Hips" set to one. Corresponding "Soften Hips" morphs come on all of Vicki's clothing as the natural state. These morphs can be altered, of course, but you must be careful that the clothing and Vicki's settings correspond. If not, Vicki's hips will poke through her clothing. - Using extreme poses with skin-tight clothing items. While skin protruding is simply an inherent problem with tight-fitting conforming clothing in Poser, Zygote has tested and optimized Vicki's clothing pack so that these issues can be worked around as well as possible. (Much better than with the standard clothing items in Poser4, I might add.) Still, we know that there are many areas where a little skin will poke through the clothing in extreme poses. The most unfortunate area for this issue is typically the buttocks, which are usually best turned invisible. Also in areas like the knees or elbows, a tiny bit of skin will show through tight clothing when the joint is extreme. For these types of areas, scaling is usually sufficient. - Custom morph and scale settings. As has been pointed out above, once you've customized your Victoria model, you'll have to customize her clothing as well. - Intentional protrusions. Zygote has modeled some clothing items such that they have to be used with certain body parts invisible, even for mild poses. The boots, for example, need Vicki's foot and toe groups made invisible. These cases should be obvious. Zygote is currently working on a free update for Victoria's Clothing Pak, but the planned fixes do not currently include anything to alter protruding body parts. If there are any issues with this that are not explained or prevented by one of the above reasons, please describe them to me in detail at chad@zygote.com so that we can get them fixed in the update. Thanks for your observations and input. -Chad Smith Zygote Media Group
