I'm trying to outfit a child model from Poser 5 with an old Michael 3 karate outfit, but it is not easy in Poser - it is not conforming correctly, anyway, pulled both models into Carrara and adjusted all to create what I wanted - looks good, lost all ability to pose from Poser since I needed to convert all models to vertex - but the morphs stuck. Unfortunatly the dynamic hair prop did not follow when I imported as native to Carrara - any way to do this? I had to unattach and reattach the skeleton several times to get it all working - the "gi" had to be grouped with the child, then bones attached. I'll post what I've got later. The hair is the only problem now... any ideas? R

Wow! I see the list of models ( human ) that it works with, but then it supports all clothing types? I assume the karate outfit for M3 would be supported since it conforms to M3. I would like to keep it in Poser, conform the M3 karate outfit to fit the Poser5 boy, and Transposer it to Carrara for a render so I can keep the Poser Dynamic Hair... will it physically change the outfit to keep the change in Carrara? Looks good so far - Anyone using it yet?

I've used it. Does a good job of getting the thing shifted around until it fits. How good it looks rather depends on the mesh. The results can be saved as an ordinary cr2 -- or exported as an obj, like any character. As far as conversion of mesh in carrara goes...I've done this too. There are a few tricks. Unfortunately, I just got off a twelve-hour work day and I'm not up for trying to describe them at moment.

No worries. I see value in the python script, just wonder how much I'd use it. Seems like there are so many new characters coming out and tons of clothing - if it could all fit any character, unlimited possibilities! Here is the Poser5 boy with the M3 karate outfit rendered in Carrara. The dynamic hair failed to import when I tried native.

Another alternative is cloth-room fit. I like the realism that this gives for certain meshes. Basically, you treat the clothing as if it were real but off-the-rack stuff. Fit it generally to the figure, then use cloth room to drape it. Then either keep it dynamic and use it that way or export the modified mesh and rig it with the new figure's bones.

The OBJ2CR2 converter from PhilC's site looks interesting... I don't want to steer this from Carrara - I'd have to use Carrara to create the OBJ clothing, but then take it into Poser... so it looks like I'd make something to fit... Poser5 boy by bringing the boy into Carrara - then take the obj "outfit" into Poser and do the OBJ2CR2 magic and it will conform to the boy in Poser? What about morphs? Do I add all body morphs to the boy before I take it to Carrara? Once the "outfit" is on the boy model in Poser, converted, can I still body morph the boy or will he bust out of the conformed outfit?
