The illustration for my freebie Jenny 8 for La Femme shows Jenny wearing a rigged version of the Vita Gown for G8F (available at DAZ). My tutorials thus far have focused in using the loosen and tighten features of the morph brush, but making the Vita gown riggable required experimentation with and heavy use of the pull function. The problem was that the fabric on the left side where there is a slit overlapped the front and back panels. I tried using the pull tool to move the top layer to the side in one direction and then the bottom layer in the other. This produced ghostlike tendrils between the two layers. So I zoomed in close and tackled the bottom layer first with the pull tool from a sharp angle to separate the front and back, then further developed an "open slit" morph on the left side. I also created one for the right slit, which was easily accomplished. I then did the rigging with the slits open and auto grouped to the front and back skirt handles of our MFD for La Femme.
