I have a shirt that is made for m3 figure end I need to convert the shirt to matt 3 figure

what is the simple way to make this convert without create the rig again ?

 

for example when daz3d create a new cloth model for matt 3 they not create the rig  but they copy the characterization from matt 3 to new cloth that in cr2 file end the question is if someone know how

 they make it ?

 

note I tray with Clothes Converter end Wardrobe end is not work

You may be thinking of the CR2 Donor Method of making a conforming figure.  Basically you take the CR2 of the figure you wish to conform the clothes to and use it as the starting point for your new figure. In your case you would start with Matt’s CR2 file and change the OBJ references to point to your refitted shirt’s OBJ file.  I'm assuming that you have already modified the shirt's OBJ to fit Matt.

The you strip out all the stuff from the CR2 file that you don’t need; extra body parts, extra channels in body parts that you don’t need, all the materials, all the inkyChains, extra weld and parent lines, etc.

Matt has a BLANK file that would actually make a good starting point for making a conforming figure.

The body parts that you want to keep depend on the clothes being made but basically it is the parts from the hip to one or more of the figures end points that would include you clothes.  The end points on most human figures are the head, hands and feet.  So for your shirt you would need to keep the hip, abdomen, chest, neck, head, both of the collars, both of the shoulders, both of the forearms and both of the hands.

Then load it into Poser conform to you figure and adjust the Joint Parameters as needed.

That of course is a very simplified version of how it’s done.
