Quote - actually there is.  Phantom said that although you can just swap to weight mapping no advantage is conferred until the zones are tweaked etc, and I couldn't do that in a million years.  also I want the clothes to be compatible and preferably made for the figure, so I would like (not demanding, just stating my preference) that the figure be the same one we are all using.

Love esther

No offense Esther, but that's a bit disengenuous. You could do it if you were willing to learn the process from those who are teaching it over at Poser Place, you just choose not to. Not that I blame you! It is a very technical and time consuming proposal that not everyone will want to learn, but they can if they choose to.

I'm not trying to put you on the spot in particular, but ANYONE can learn to do the conversions if they want to take the time and put in the effort. Like any of the technical aspects of Poser, it takes time, patience and effort to learn the intricacies involved. Those who learn will be better for it.

Quote - I think only a few will use Alyson and Ryan as they are as they look like they've been beaten with an ugly stick...lol.

And that's another piss poor excuse for not putting in the work to make the figures look better. It's been proven time and time again that the default looks of figures can and are improved with the right amount of effort and time put into morphing, texturing and posing them.
