I'm getting back into Poser after a few years on another project and I would greatly appreciate any help on some topics.

My problem of the day is, as the title says, to transfer a custom morph from a character to this character's clothing.

Let's say I'm taking V4 and I am making a morph to turn her into an old crone.
I make a full body morph which I call Old_Crone.
Now, I want this new character to be able to wear some V4 clothes.

Back in the old days, I would use The Tailor to achieve this.
Now, I have tried, and The Tailor keeps saying it cannot open the new character because it has something wrong in the pmd.

So, what tool is used to solve this problem nowadays ?

• does The Tailor 1.6 still work ? Must I apply some clever workaround ?
• must I use Wardrobe Wizard ?
• is there any other tool out there that does the job ?

Many thanks in advance for any help you may give.

Wardrobe Wizard is not compulsory :)

But it will do a good job of creating morphs in the clothing to match your figure.

PhilC:

If I use WW2 to fit clothing to a morphed V4.2, do I get all of the joint magnets too? I hope that question is clear enough to answer. A highly morphed V4.2 causes memory (RAM) problems for my computer. The figure is so heavy with magnets, it makes no sense for me to add extra magnets in the cloths.

It is the same as with any V4 clothing, you'll need to apply the DAZ supplied Magnetize Clothing pose.

Or put another way,  magnets are not duplicated unnecessarily.

Good. So it seems Wardrobe Wizard is a tool with two great indications.
I'm glad I bought it.

Although, since you are here PhilC, I'd like to advocate an expansion for anime specific figures :

• Anime Doll, by Maya (which is not exactly the same as Maya Doll, especially when it comes to the hips and neck)

• Himeko, by Billy T (sold on renderosity's market)

• Miki Doll, by PoserMatic

Oh, and if it's an issue for the 2 last ones : just drop them in your public wish list and let me know. I'll be happy to offer them to you if it helps them get WW2 support.

There is a point update with Tailor. v`1.6**1.
**I've never used .pmd's with Tailor either (not to say you cant)
 

The Tailor 1.61 cannot be used on V4.1 and V4.2 or A4, because the cr2-files use a new ERC -setting, which the Tailor cannot read, Using V4.1+ and A4  gives an error message in Tailor.

Ah. Thanks for confirming that.

There is the usual workaround of creating a CR2 with all the channel information in it by saving to the library.
There is however an added wrinkle if you do this from P7 (and possibly P6 SR3)  because there's a new ERC keyword that The Tailor doesn't understand and which has to be edioted out of the CR2 before it can be used.

That's what I meant!
I made a workaround by removing those keywords from the CR2-file and saving as a new CR2-file but IMO it takes a very long time to transfer the morphs from the body to the cloth, even on my dual-core 4GB-machine.

Bopper.
