Heya, you raging Scottsman. Okay, maybe you are not really Scottish, but with a handle like William the Bloody...

Anyhow, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to write all this out, as sadly others who do make use of this info will be too busy to think to.

I have been busy trying to convert some of my store items over, using a somewhat different approach, so there is more than one way - but I think yours is a very good one, especially for people who are not overly familiar with the ins and outs invovled in doing some thing like this.

This should work great on clothing items that use something close the default JP for SP3. In my case, those hours I spent tweaking all my JP setting on my clothing to help get it to conform and pose 99% right straight out of the box has come back to bite me on the @$$ So, I am having to redo a lot of the jp settings as well as take into account I use ghost body part with ERC set up for things like my skirts, to get them to pose nicely.

Anyhow, from one person doing this to another. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in your frustration, nor are your efforts to pass along the benefit of your experience to others unappreciated.

Now, on your method, I do have an observation - and not a critism, nor am I entirely sure I am right in what I am about to say, as it applies to the way you are doing this. However, on the making of the mannequin, I was wondering if those first few steps are needed. It would seem to me that I could import the SP3 object, spawn the parts, export them, and use them as my morph targets on V3blank. Again, I am not asking this to be snotty or critical. Only because I tried it and it seemed to work for me, and it eliminate a couple of steps involved. I know how easy it is to get your mind working in a certain direction, and I have added steps to things that I have done in the past that were not really needed. So, I was mentioning this simply in the hope that it might help to streamline the operation, and make it easier for folks to follow and not get confused. In no way is it my intent to offend or cast any disparaging remarks on your excellent tutorial. (With all the recent misunderstanding going on, I want that point understood.)

Again, great job on the tutorial!
