Quote - 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)

The clothing conversion process only transfers weight map information to a rigged garment.  It is not a garment rigging tool (PhilC has one of those available, IIRC), and it isn't a tool for converting clothing between different base figures (such as Wardrobe Wizard or CrossDresser).

The actual weight map transfer uses Poser's built in "Copy joints from" function, which is available to all Poser 9 or Poser Pro 2012 users who have SR1 loaded.  There's some extra functionality covered (batch handling being perhaps the most generally useful), but a good rule of thumb would be that if "Copy joints from" can't do it, the Poser Place Outfitter won't be helpful in that area.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
