Quote - That's exactly what I was asking- although WW is a tad on the expensive side. Maybe I'll look elsewhere for a similar outfit. Thanks for responding.

Wardrobe Wizard may seem like alot to pay out for a program to use in conjunction with Poser.  I thought the same thing at first.

However, while this may be true for some Poser items, it's not true for Wardrobe Wizard.  With WW it actually saves you money.

You can buy one outfit, or download free outfits, and use WW to convert that clothing to any WW supported figure.  PLUS, it's great for fitting clothing to morphed figures.  Simply analyze the clothing on an out of the box M3 for example.  Then morph him the way you want, and then "convert to" the morphed figure. You might have to smooth and inflate select clothing body areas, but you can now fit clothing around beef cake and buxom figures without much hassel.

When you analyze an item with WW a .dat file is created. This .dat file contains information that WW gathered from the clothing that will allow it to fit the clothing to your WW supported figures when you use "Convert To" in the future. Analyze once and use over and over again so long as you don't delete the generated .dat file from the folder.

If you have the clothing and the .dat file you don't need to have the original figure in your library that the clothing was made for.

You only need the original figure if you are wanting to analyze the clothing/item yourself.

For example let's say that you don't have MIKI but you see some cute FREE outfits for her that you wish you could use on SP3 or Vicky. There are two ways you could do this:

  1. Buy MIKI and install the FREE cute clothing. Analyze the clothing using WW and then fit it to SP3 or Vicky using WW.

  2. Download the .dat file(s) for the FREE cute MIKI clothing, put it on Vicky or SP3 and using WW "confrom to figure". So long as you have the clothing and the .dat files for that clothing, you don't need to have MIKI on your computer.

Also, many people share their  .dat files with other WW users, and everyone benefits because you are no longer restricted to only buying clothing for figures that you have in your library. So long as you have that little .dat file for that clothing, you can buy the clothing without worry and know that you'll be able to use it on any of the  figures  that are supported by WW that you do have in your library.  The secret is for people who have WW to commit to sharing their .dat files with other WW users.  PhilC has a whole forum dedicated to sharing .dat files.

Also, it helps you save on hard drive space too.  The .dat files are very small and you no longer have to have a bunch of files for each clothing item for every single figure you use it on. It takes only a few seconds to "convert to", which means that you can have one set of files for a given outfit, put the clothing on whatever WW supported figure you want, and convert the clothing each time and NOT have to save each set of conversions to your library for that figure.

WW has become a necessity to me and I literally use it every single time that I use Poser.
