Things like AutoFit work on the basis of predescribed deformations in a standardized system. Therefore it works only for figures that are part of a system like the Genesis series. It does not cater for figures like Dawn, Raffael, or Project Evolution.
Poser natively offers two alternatives, neither of which depends on any system or standardisation and are open to any figure: The Cloth Room offers a 'try-it on' refit method. The shape or size does not change there. On a slender small female a dynamic shirt made for a tall guy will fit like you would expect a large size shirt will hang on a small girl and vice-versa. This may be what you want, artisticallly, but not always. The Fitting Room remodels on the basis of body shape as encountered. Of course here too results depend on the similarity between figures. I developed the Prefitter_CR2, avalable as $0.00 at Content Paradise to provide a form of systematic deformation between popular figures. The Prefitter help to inject morphs that will do the main reshape. In many cases no further adjustment is necessay. With the result, the Fitting Room can do its work more in its comfort zone. The Prefittter system is extendable. For Project Evolution a similar conversion tool with 'mannequins' is available.
The difference with real conversion tools like XDresser and WardrobeWizard is that these applications are geared towards creating 'refits for' that can be stored in the library. Prefitter-Fitting Room are geared to make a conversion 'on the fly' good enough for the project at hand with an occasional smear from the morph brush.when necessary.
The DAZ ecosystem has its advantages (seamless) and disadvantages (not open) , the Poser system and its advantages(universal) and disadvantages (more laborious). No fight intended,.
