Yeah, I've tried both of those, but I was wondering if there was a tool that would do that in Poser.

Wardrobe Wizard will conform a piece of clothing to an entirely different figure than it was originally intended.  I just want to take a piece of clothing that is intended for Aiko 3, but morph its settings to match those of, say, Rhiannon's Meghan.  The figure is the same, just the morph dials have been moved.  The clothes are for Aiko, they just need to be adjusted so that the same-named morphs are set to the same settings on the clothes as the figure.  WW appears to do this by tossing out the morphs themselves and literally adjusting the mesh of the clothing.

The Tailor may work fine, but it is done outside of Poser-- You've got to save the figure.  Fire up The Tailor, adjust the clothes, save them as a new figure, now load them up in Poser.  Why save a whole new cr2, when all I want to do is change the morph settings.

WW and The Tailor are kind of overkill in that they assume I'm trying to adjust the clothes to fit a whole new figure (in fact, WW (I'm not sure about The Tailor) completely stomps on the morph names after the transfer-- the clothes fit, but if you want the same morphs, you've got to recreate them).  I've tried this and gotten some V3 clothes to fit The Girl, but the morph dials are gone after the transfer.  I can accept this for figures that are completely different (V3 to Girl), but I'd just like all the dials that have the same name on a piece of V3 clothing to be set to the same settings as a morphed V3 figure.  Same goes for Aiko3 clothing fitting an Aiko 3 morphed figure.

The algorithm seems straight forward:

  1. Select Figure to grab morphs from.

  2. Select Clothing to copy morphs to.

  3. For each Morph in Clothing that has the same name in Figure (across each same-named body part, including "Body"), copy the figure morph setting to the clothing morph setting.

Aiko 3                                                        Soft Lingerie

Realistic------------------------------------> Realistic

Voluptuos----------------------------------> Voluptious

etc.

Ignore any morph that is not common between the two figures.

Assume that the target is a piece of clothing intended for the figure in question, just that it does not  fit.  This algorithm is NOT intended to make Aiko clothes fit V3, V3 to fit the Girl, etc.  I just want clothes that are intended to fit V3 to fit any V3 character that uses the stock V3 morphs.

I'm wondering if I should just write the python script myself.  It seems so simple, I'm wondering why it's not just an existing simple script or some kind of common knowledge...
