OK. I've done a bit more playing; trying as much as I can to follow the instructions (and having no idea what to tweak to try to alter start or end results) and I still have the same issue I always have with Poser (and here, it's going to be quite clear that I have yet to discover how to manipulate clothing on a figure) - nothing fits the way I try to get it to fit (ie. naturally).! Below is a screencap showing the loincloth fit at the start. Start1.jpg

And here's how it fits in the final: Final1.jpg

Now I have been tinkering with Poser since version 7 but the only time I get clothing to fit is when it's an item made specifically for that particular morph. So here, my request for help is not just for using VWD; it's also, just how do I get an item to sit well when the figure is in the initial T-pose? I try using the provided morphs, "Easy Pose" (yeah, right), The morph tool...... Why is this so difficult? Also, just for the record, I have purchased and watched numerous "professional" tutorial videos, read copious amounts of tutorials, worked through the user guide; I have just never really been happy with virtually any clothing fit that isn't from a character/clothing combo package (and where is the creativity in that?). I'll admit that this is my first (I think) Renderosity thread I've posted in as I am leaving myself open and raw to any and all criticisms. I've just run out of ideas as to where to search for answers........... I do have almost 30GB of started Poser projects (most of which I have left unfinished; usually due to fitting issues with clothing or hair), so it's not like I haven't tried. This may not be the correct thread to be posting this in; it's (I guess) just a sort of "pooring out" of ongoing frustration. I came to the digital are field from some of the traditional forms (oil painting, graphite pencil illustration, oil pastels/coloured pencils, air brushing [mostly automotive portraits and murals]) due to Crohn's Disease and a nerve/muscle disorder that has robbed me of the ability to go the traditional route without excruciating pain. Digital artforms have allowed me some artistic expression but this clothing/hair fitting issue with Poser (& Daz Studio) limits my expression. I guess I am hoping to understand and learn to use VWD and in the process, learn what I am missing with respect to clothing/hair posing/fitting. I apologise for basically highjacking this thread; I assure all that this was not my intention (and I should probably hit delete but I just can't)..............
