ravenous I'm sure that you've studied it more than I have. I'm only going by the DSO app where the clothing they provide does fit the custom shapes, and the video showing Gen 4 clothing being auto-fit to Genesis. I expect there will be limits on how will it will work with shapes that are a radical departure from the humanoid model. Likewise, DAZ states that the results will not be a good as custom modeled clothing - no faster than light neutrino magic. It's not perfect but no clothing fitting/conversion I've seen is either.

It does raise the issue of tradeoffs between flexibility in creating custom figures vs.  the how well existing clothing can be made to fit those figures. In some cases people will probably be satisfied with auto-fit, in others' they'll probably want shape specific clothing. How many clothing devs will choose auti-fit and/or shape specfic vs. simply not creating for Genesis will be interesting to see.
