Quote - Magnets? Yikes! They scare me! I've never had much luck using magnets. They're so doggone tricky to use. You may be onto something though, if I can summon up the patience to give 'em a try. I'm still scared of 'em though...
Hello. :) I promise they're not as scary as they seem! I felt the same way the first few times I had to use them, but I more or less have to use them on nearly every render now, as most of my figures are dial-morphed and don't fit inside the clothing without them. ^_^
Would a tutorial of some kind help? I can try to work up a step-by-step or find you a link to an easily understood one, whichever happens first. They ARE very tedious to work with, but mostly it's just a matter of turning the x/y/z translate, rotate etc dials to get what you want with them. The biggest thing to remember is to have the body part you want the magnet to affect selected before adding the magnet to the scene.
I just don't know of any pre-existing clothing item like you're looking for. Another possibility might be to load up the daz m3 tunic and play with the scaling dials a bit. I doubt it will sit on the figure with all the loose folds and such since it's a conforming item and not dynamic.. but it might be worth a try? ~ Seliah
