I'm happy to chime in ;o)...Converting V3 to V2 is pretty easy if its a dress...the places you need to change the mesh are the armpits, a tiny area where the shldr meets the forearm and the small of the back....if the garment has sleeves you can make these adjustments and leave them on a V3 item coz they are small enough not effect the cut of the dress and if you did do it that way you can make them wear the same item (obj wise) if you average the cut for the collar to shldr joint..thats about the only place there is a big difference between the two (top half wise)....you'll still need 2 cr2's though but the real good thing with this is the morphs work on both versions....if its a strappy dress that would show the V2 fitting, you can again use the same mesh (and therefore the same morphs) if you create a V2 morph on it..should be easy as its just a case of pulling the straps fwd to fit V2..this won't work on pants, or at least it will work but i think to much of a compromise (buttock length is the problem)..Mike is not as simple coz the meshes are very different, but if you can create a full body morph to create the others shape you could again make them use the same mesh, i'm going to experiment with this later.....But if your clothing has no morphs then its a simple as modding it to fit the other figure then recutting the joints, creating the cr2 shouldn't take long with the amount of cr2 creating or modding tools around......On the subject of creating both i don't think i've ever created anything for Mike# or Vicky# and NOT had an email asking for a version for the other Mike or Vicky so i'd say there are plenty that haven't gone for the V3 figures....personally i prefer V3 over 2 but am 50 50 on the mikes depending on the look i want........Steve
