I mentioned Netherworks in my post. Yes they make magnet sets that will make clothing fit many of the mrohs that come with the figures, but they are a bit generic and the resulting morphs look like it.. They ARE a good starting point to get the clothing into the right general shape, then, for good commercial looking morphs you need to make fine adjustments.

I didn't really take your post as looking for a Magic Morph Maker (altho you'd be surprised at just how many people think that there is or should be one!) and my rant cetainly wasn;t pointed at you! I appologise! I was in a "discussion" on another site about the legitamecy of Poser "art" and just got finished explaining just how much work I put into a poser peice for sale that generally sells for under $20.00 while the person i was in discussion with asks for (and if he was honest) gets $100 PLUS for a static model (NO morphs or rigging) in another "COMMERCIAL" modeller (I use Carrara, which he also laughed at).

Any way, to clarify. I basically have a whole cd of figures that are saved out of Poser with the various morphs set to 1.0 (this includes JCM). After I finish a clothing model and get the rigging working right in poser, I pull each of the various .OBJ files back into my modeller along with the appropriate morphed 'tailor's dummy". Then I push and pull the mesh into the corrected shape to fit the morph. I do try to make it look as realistic as possible.

I used Diemension3D's Poser tools (ADDMORPH) to add the morph to the figure. This is convienient since it can load the morphs accross the grouping lines. In other words I work with the complete object from the geometry files and don;t need to break it up into groups.

Oh I've also recently started using the Poser morph tool a lot.

Need I add that to me at least, the morphing is even harder than the modelling. If you want a more detailed explination of my work flow let me know and I'll be glad to share with anyone that is really interested.
