I didn't know we could convert V4/M4 clothing for Dawn/Dusk. Is this done automatically or is there a python script or external program that does it? I probably wouldn't use it anyway since I rarely use either of those figures.

Past history with any model shows they eventually become obsolete as in not supported or seldom supported. I don't see a lot of clothing being made for Dusk, but nearly every male figure has gone that route. I would say M4 is obsolete because hardly anybody ever created clothing for him and still don't. There are only a few vendors who do create for M4, but not nearly as often as they do for V4.

I don't buy the old line male items don't sell. It's just an excuse or the vendor does not have the talent to create anything worth buying. Genesis male figures have a lot of clothing available. If they didn't sell then why are they still creating them?

Well there are the usual choices for conversions such as Wardrobe Wizard and CrossDresser, if you have Poser Pro 2014 there is also Dawn FitRoom Helpers from Lyrra which is what I tend to use. All three methods work well, some better than others but that is very dependent on which clothing item is being converted. Some deed a slight tweak in the region of the abdomen and also the neck it the clothing has a high neck line. I think this is due to the fact the Dawn has a neck 1 and 2 and an abdomen 1 and 2. Once posed it is just a case of lining up the two parts where this is the issue. I have less information on conversion for Dusk because I still tend to use M4 for many of my renders. When I do use Dusk i tend to use clothes made for Dusk, but I agree there is not much available.

A couple of other points, I was surprised when I starting using Dawn just how many of my newer items that I had purchased for V4 already a Dawn variant so no conversion was needed. Also Lully has a range of dynamic clothing for Dawn which is invaluable to all those who complain there is only slut wear available for any given figure.

For example - Left - Dynamic Dress for Dawn and Spartan Ops for V4 converted.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
