Okay, I know I'm very late to the party, but I finally tried the Fitting Room, and it's not working for me. I followed Smith Micro's (Chuck's) first video on YouTube, and while I get reasonable apparent results in the room itself, when I save the altered outfit and conform it to my character, things go awry. Sometimes it scrunches up into a complete mess, but even when that doesn't happen, the outfit doesn't follow the character when I give it a pose.

Now maybe the Fitting Room is not designed to do specifically what I'm after. I'm not trying to fit the outfit (in this case, Laliberte) to a new figure, but to get a really good result for a custom character which is very petite compared to the default V4. So is the problem that V4 isn't zeroed to begin with? (In the Fitting Room, I've tried the saving options every which way, but with no luck.)

Well, I got fed up. Laliberte has some pretty good adjustment morphs built in. I used those to get a reasonable fit, then turned the item into a prop and went into the Setup Room (more foreign territory for me). That worked okay, but the Fitting Room did give me a better fit (got some buttocks sticking out). In the future, I'll probably use it to get the fit, then spawn a prop and then go into the Setup Room.

Hi there!

While you can certainly do this the way you did, you tend to lose the rigging that way (scrunches up, etc.).  BTW, if you use Edit-->Memorize-->Figure immediately after conforming, that may help that a bit.  Conform the garment, zero the garment, Memorize, then save the CR2.

I would have taken a different approach when using it on a morph of the originally intended figure, following the following steps in PP14:

Conform the garment

Copy Morphs from to get the morphs from the figure into the garment

Ensure the following items and checked on the Properties tab:

Include Morphs

Include Scale

You may also want to experiment with Match End Points and Follow Origins to get a better fit as well.

Doing it this way, you retain the original rigging and morphs, plus the movement bones.

Thanks, Glitterati. So if clothing is designed for the same figure as the character, you wouldn't touch the fitting room at all, right?

Most likely not.  I would go with getting the morphs in first, then see what I am left with before moving to the fitting room. I use the fitting room for rigging almost every day, but I think you're making it harder on yourself than it needs to be for THIS purpose.

I love the fitting room, but what you are trying to accomplish is better done another way.

Here, I am providing an example of using the Copy Morphs From and Scale/Morphs checkboxes.

I used the colorcurvature Mixer script to make a "teen" Dawn.  Both Dawns are wearing the same clothing and I simply copied the morph the script created to the clothing, checked off ALL OF THE OPTIONS and posed the teen figure in the same pose as Dawn.  (I could have used the Smooth morph brush on the hem of the skirt on the teen to smooth it out just a bit.)
