Yeah I recently did some experimentation with converting the M3 Space Suit to fit a "fuller figured" V4 custom morph I have.

The spacesuit just didn't look right with boobs.

However, WW did a pretty fantastic job of putting those in there... considering its a fully automatic solution! :lol:

I guess armour is an even trickier case in point... and yeah, maybe PhilC himself would have some tips and tricks to pass on there and indeed its probably worth asking him(?)... but I would imagine myself, that the assembly of hard shells, that armour is constituted from, probably needs each part rescaled separately and then the whole thing reconstituted / re-rigged... in some way?

Yeah, the problem with armour (with XD anyway, haven't tried with WW) is that the conversion process obviously wants to conform it to the figure. Armour (even though it is conforming in the Poser sense) isn't supposed to conform to a body like the conversion tries to do. Converting it manually works, but it takes some time and like I said, it's not really worth it if you're not going to see the figure inside. How well the figure inside bends etc. isn't really an issue inside a big metal or ceramic (?sci-fi) suit.
