This method uses the script that came with V4WM.

This is as simple as it gets.  Thanks, Vestmann.

No problem.  And please let me know how it works for you, good or bad.

Question: Why do you have to copy the joint zones each time you conform? Aren't they copied permanently once you save the conformed item?

PS - Love the new Avatar.

Thanks Vestmann!  I suspected the script would work but when I mentioned it I was referred to the method described in the Antonia guide.   Thanks for all the details!

Actually, when I reloaded the bodysuit I didn't have to copy the joint zones so maybe it's just something to keep in mind IF the clothing starts to behave strangely

...and thanks :)

I just followed the tutorial on TheJeans and it seems to have worked very well. The top of the thighs seem to conform better. I did not have to re-copy the joint zones when I reloaded the conveted item.

Also V4's arm pits look much better in the WM version.

Wow, I'm stunned this works so well. I have been trying high heel boots, dresses and robes.

That's great. I don't have that many dresses or robes. It would great to see a screen shot or a render.

There are still magnets on V4's chest that can cause problems.  Go to the 'Magnetize Clothing' folder that should be in your 'Daz's Victoria 4' pose folder and load the '!Magnetize to V4' Pose.

One thing I should have said earlier.  There is no need to use the script if the clothing doesn't need the helper bones.  The helper bones are in the hip/thigh, chest and shoulder/forearms areas so for most shoes it's enough to only use the 'Copy Joint Zones from...' in the figure menu.

Quote - The Electra dress converted wonderfully!  And the best thing is the morphs are already there (and there are many!) so it's a great timesaver.  Trying boots, sandals and shoes next.   Thanks again Vestmann!

That is beautiful Kalypso!  It's good to get as many of these as possible. Especially things that don't work so we can find out why.

A quick update. It seems that it's crucial to have SR1 installed in order to use the Copy Joint Zones from the Figure menu.

Vestman,

How well does your technique work for high-heeled shoes, like Idler's?  Do you have any examples of shoe conversions?

I fear I'm having some problems with open shoes.  The V4WM team is aware of the problem and I'll post a solution as soon as it surfaces. I must go to bed now (it's 6 am where I am, yikes)  Hopefully we'll resolve this soon.

Thanks Vestman!!  When you get the problem solved, please let me know, and I will abandon Genesis and get Poser 9.  Are you using Poser 9 or Poser Pro 2012?

I use Poser Pro 2012.  If you have a 64bit operating system, I highly recommend it. 

Another trick that Glitterati3D found.

Do your pose for V4WM.

Conform clothes to V4WM.

Looks odd?????

Select the clothes item, go to the Figures menu, select the Zero Figure option.

Looks better.

Now if you change the pose, you have to do the Zero Figure option again etc.

All the best.

That seems like a lot of trouble to conform clothing to poses.

It's just a solution to a problem.

All the best.

All of this is hopefully temporary until we find a more permanent coversion solution,

love it

Cool information..... Now we jus need a weight mapped M4!

Phantom3D is offering a course at PoserPlace where you can roll-your-own. THIS is the beauty of Poser: preserving the freedom to create our own! BTW, I'm first in the queue for that class... no queue-jumping and no pushing.

Hahaha.... call me lazy.. no lets make that uber busy so I'll just wait ... I'm sure he will ... come! 

Thanks.

Works great.  And I learned I didn't have SR1 yet.  Once I installed that it worked perfectly.  

By the by, the update checker inside of Poser Pro 2012 didn't seem to work at all, I had to go hunt down that SR1 myself... anyone else have that problem??

Just wanted to let people know that Cage is working on a dedicated clothing script and it's looking really promising at the moment.  It will have the ability to select multiple clothing items and it will transfer the weights automatically and save the items into the library.  And it's FAST! ;)

That is great news.  Hopefully it will be available soon.

There are some complications as one would expect but I'm confident Cage and the crew will sort those out.  

very cool n good to hear :)

There won't be a release date until there is an official notice, so please don't ask, it will be sometime in the near future. Let's just say as well that there has been some great work done by the programmers of the Poser Place Crew.

This is my V4WM Pixie in the WM versions of the Chain top and skirt from RDNA. Took less than a minute to convert both, both conformed perfectly the first time, no poke through, no post work. What you see is what I rendered and nothing else.

All the best.

So, how near in the near future?

Nice conversion, BTW.

We don't really know ourselves. I think the bulk of the scripting work is done so it should be soon.

Look on the bright side...nobody used the dreaded "S" word! :blink: Does this mean Poserites have their core word now for we don't know when...."Near Future!" Cool beans....:laugh: Edited to add, I have ants in my pants and can't wait for this to be finished. Good job PoserPlaceCrew!

All the best.

pics look great

Does this process work for just V4 Rigged conforming clothes, or can it be used for clothes that are modeled but not rigged?  (sorry, maybe this is a dumb question, but I am playing with Hex, and have not yet got to the "rigging" part...its all new to me)

Any chance there's a script like this to convert clothing for Antonia~Standard to Antonia~WM? Would really be a lifesaver for the clothing I'm starting to make for her ;)

The new converter will also work for Antonia ;)  It should be ready early next week.

OOOOH! Awesome! And will it be ok to sell clothes converted with it? (I mean, clothes I make. I'm hoping to make stuff for Antonia Standard, and then convert to Antonia WM, and include both versions in my product.)

I don't know for sure so I passed the question over to the Poser Place team. I'm they'll answer quickly ;)

Here's an answer from Cage over at PoserPlace:

"I don't see why it wouldn't be okay to sell converted clothes -- as long as you own the rights to sell the original, unconverted versions of those clothes. Again, we're using the built-in Poser function, here. We're adding in the helper bone geometries, but those fall under the Creative Commons licenses used when releasing Antonia-WM and V4-WM. Any additional proxy geometries added by the script for ghost actors are the same basic mesh as the helper bones and are algorithmically generated by a script which will be released under GPL. So, yes. As long as the person has the right to sell the original version of the garment, they should have the right to sell the converted version."

Thank you for the answer! And aren't they always such darlings <3 this will be great!

Doh! I sort of got buried up there about 7 posts back.  Where's the love?  ;-)

3doutlaw, that's not the intent or scope of the script. But people always find new things as time goes by.
