Thus far, I'm not too impressed with my results in the Fitting Room.  Many of the garments in my runtime crack at the seams when I bring them through--even the "stock" garments for the G2 figures that came with Poser--which I wouldn't have expected. (So much for "quality" clothing props from Smith Micro!  See attached image for an example.) Also, several garments I've tried to convert lift on the y-axis when I conform them. (Not all. This is mostly a problem I've had trying to use older, V3 items on V4.) They simply WON'T fit.  Finally, there's the issue other users have complained about with respect to the breasts on female characters. The garments conform like skin, which looks ridiculous, and playing with the "loosen" morph tool has produced some spectacularly silly results.  Clearly, I have a lot to learn about how this works . . .

However, the "transfer morphs" and "transfer weight maps" tools work really well.  I've been able to get garments that haven't fit highly morphed characters in the past to work in Poser 2014.  That's progress!

Oh, I also tried to spawn props from the Fitting Room. It works, but when I try to run a cloth simulation, Poser locks up or crashes every time.  Teething problems, indeed!

let us know of your progress...I just got the software in the mail today but was only able to play with it for 10 min. I had a pair of shoes weld together so my results werent any better. Ill have to re watch those tutorials from Nerd3D.

Hello anupaum,

What do you get when you have 3 trucks and 4 truckloads?
Or 4 trucks and 3 truckloads?

Translation to Poser;

Compare the groups of the figure with the groups of the clothing. They do not match.

One wil have: Chest abdomen hip

The other will have: Chest abdomen waist hip.

The workaround for this is to use the autogroup function in the fitting room.
The clothing will re group and fit to the figure you are using.

You are also correct on welding issues. A lot of older clothing was build for older versions of Poser. The fitting room does not like unwelded clothing. The trick here is to export the object.

Weld the unwelded parts together in a 3D app.
Import the welded object in Poser and use that in the fitting room.
Use the "transfer morphs", autogroup, and zero options.

=> There are some tricks in the manual how to handle unwelded objects, but personally I prefer to weld them externally.

Happy Posering, Tony

Okay, I'll have to give that a try.

If I can't get it to work in Poser, I simply won't use the prop.  I have a runtime FULL of clothing props, so if I run across something that doesn't work, there is plenty more to choose from.

Do you know anything about the y-axis problem?  Is that a bug?  It doesn't always happen, but it's annoying when it does.

For the y axis ?
Load your clothing in Poser but do NOT conform it.
No drag and drop on the figure; just load it.

Then take it to the fitting room.
Fit, create figure, transfer the morphs you need, autogroup, zero and click OK
Conform in the Pose room.

Those are the steps I took, with the exception of autogroup. Nearly every V3 garment I tried to fit to V4 exhibited the y-axis translation when I conformed the figure.

Okay, after more fooling around, the tools in the Fitting Room, along with the morph brushes, are becoming more familiar. I've had this outfit in my runtime for years, but haven't been able to get it to fit this character. Though it took me about an hour to make this work, I've managed to fit the garment and save it to the figure.

For the morph brushes, it's key to loosen GENTLY around the breasts until there appears to be a fold between them. The smoothing tool will flatten this out so that the garment doesn't look like a "second skin" on the figure.

One thing that may be helpful, is that for clothing props designed for V4 fitted to scaled characters like this one (she's 92% of a full sized V4), don't try to pre-fit the clothing. If you simply go to the Fitting Room and have it set the prop and the figure to zero, it'll prefit and tighten without difficulty and won't translate the prop on the y-axis.

I've found that's NOT the case for V3 items, though . . .

Voila, a first result.

The rest will follow.

I am with you because i have faced to the same problems
