So, um, wouldn't an app like Poser would benefit from its fitting room updated so it's conversions are almost seamless from a figure to another? Seems to me that would help the end users a lot.

I'll be honest, as a clothing creator, I don't see how that is possible. There's just too much difference between figures - starting with old models with very different topology, to rigging differences (spherical rigging vs. weight mapping) to simple size differences. I've done a number of figure fits in the modeler, and there's just major differences between figures, starting with one figure standing in a zero location well in front of or behind the originating figure, plus size differences. It's much easier to convert in the modeler and re-rig (and that's not "easy") than trying to do it in the fitting room or with a conversion utility. I don't see a way to automate that.

Kyle 1.5 wearing clothes originally made for M4. As far as I can tell, the converters focus more on the geometries than the cr2s, then rebuild the clothing to suit the destination character. But, of course, this requires buying the original clothing in the first place, so it's not the original vendor is being cut out of the loop. If anything, it's providing more opportunities for the vendor to make a sale.

As things stand, I have a wardrobe for my Kyle characters that's about 30 gigs in size, and draws on characters from M2 and P4 to Genesis.... and again, in all cases, I had to buy the originals in order to create the conversions. So what am I missing in all this, folks?

And, yet, when I use a conversion utility going from M4->Dusk, I'm much more likely to end up with a result like this:
