Quote - The main difference between genesis and G2F is autofit functionality. Autofit works much better with G2F then genesis.

Now as I have said before I have a huge collection of wardrobes for the mil3/4 figures. A sizable investment just to give up because DAZ's new dolly is out. So I use autofit a lot ;)

Yes before autofit I used Xdresser a lot, I have the lisenses for most of the figures; and that is figures avalible not just DAZ's. So I can convert practically any clothes to fit genesis. As in Sara to V4 via Xdresser, then V4 to geneis via autofit; which then can be autofited to G2F. Sometimes they need some refit tweeks to work their best which is easy enough to do with the Hex bridge; oh wait, DAZ borked that and hasn't even tried to fix it in how long? Did some one say 3 years?

If I'm wrong please tell me how to get the fit morphs from Hex to Studio via the Hex bridge and actually have studio create a morph slider for it. If this worked I could easily fix any issues with stretched dresses, tucked blouses and mangeled shoes.

Bending and weightmaps are the main difference, not the the autofit. Autofit depends on the clones and how the clothing is made, which has nothing to do with the genesis figures.

Shoes are always going to be problematic because of the various ways they were made by vendors, so one autofit clone will never account for various ways shoes are made. 

If you want clothing to fit better, here's a tip. Pose the donor character in the same default pose as genesis, and save the objs out, then load them back and use the transfer tool. Because the clothing are in the same pose, the projection from source to target works better without distortion.

Dresses need a donor as well; if you use the genesis character, it adds all the bones, not ones for just the dresses... that's where the 3rd party tools come in. You will still need to learn the weight map tools to fix any distortion on those.

Once you learn the tips of how to work the tools for converting instead of complaining, your clothes with fit better.
