Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 7:38 pm)
You need a modelling program.
Hexagon
3D Max
Carrera
Wings3D
Or any number of others. Hexagon was on sale at Daz, not sure if it still is. And there are some free modelling programs. Not sure if Carrera is one or not.
Be warned that it's not easy and takes lots of practice and has a steep learning curve. So don't go into it thinking that you'll be pumping out clothing the day you get a program.

heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
I have a list, since it's asked so many times.
They are all freebies; because i would recommend you give it try before spending money on it. Might not be your cup of tea.
http://www.blender.org/ - A fully featured model/render/postwork application with many features and a large number of available plug-ins and script add-ons. Can do everything, just about, and has some really solid free advanced renderers too.

I'm sure Phil C will not be upset at my saying that the only way to make really top quality clothing is to model it from scratch in a modelling program.
Having said that, the clothing designer bundle offers a very good shortcut for those of us who lack the skill and/or time to create from scratch. Even for clothing made in another application I tend to use the obj-to-Cr2 converter to make conforming clothing - that is a real time saver! So I would say that although not a must-have, I certainly do not regret buying the bundle.
An alternative starting point would be to try something like the (free) morphography quick suits for M3 and V3. You can import the meshes into a modelling program to complete them, and you would probably find a UV mapping program (UV mapper, either the free "classic" version or the pay-for pro version) useful. Again this approach will not instantly produce top quality clothing, but will give you a starting point.
Making Poser clothing is neither easy nor straight-forward, so be prepared for frequent set-backs and frustrations. Good luck!

Hi all,
Is there exist a tool for creating clothes (static or dynamic) for V3 or V4?
Thanks in advance.
