I am (as i have mentioned in another post) in the process of changing my comic from a drawn comic to a 3d poser comic. (i wont say the name and where as im not sure if it breaks rules) 

anyhow, one of my main characters is a pirate princess who loves clothes. my hope was to use laura 3 or one of the tens i already have. Sadly however i just cannot find good fantasy or parate clothes for young figures, it seems their is no market for them? I find this odd and dissapointing and ask you creater types to please consider this situation. 

I am at present considering using v4 with the v4 to child morph to get a teen effect but i am open to other options until the character makes her first apperance (after that im stuck with her) 

I use poser 11 

I don't know how to tell you this, but it's been a source of debate for years in Poserdom that the clothes Vickie wears are actually more suited for a younger (i.e.) teen model. Truth told, over the years, Vickie's clothes have become  more accepted and acceptable.

dont worry about telling me ive been out of the poser scene for a while. I just figured people had stopped making teen stuff because of daz3d being able to mprph figures down. but im a poser worker. is vickie a seperate model? and do the clothes fit laura 3? 

Vicky is a separate model from laura. Her clothes won't fit laura, but they can be converted using the fitting room.

  Load figure. Turn off IKs. Use Figure>zero figure. (for L’Homme make sure the L’Homme size dial is set to zero.) Hide posing chips/control handles.

2.      Load clothing. If you want to convert dynamic clothing to conforming and it already fits your figure, skip to step 18.

3.      Move and resize the clothing so it is close to fitting your figure. You might also use the pose dials or scales for individual body parts of the clothing. Don’t forget about figure>pose symmetry so you don’t have to match the side by hand.

4.      Make sure your figure isn’t subdivided. With the clothing selected, open the morph tool and don’t panic. (there’s always undo) Create a new morph and call it something unique like custom_morph. It really doesn’t matter what it’s called. It’s a temporary morph.

5.      Select the Loosen fit brush and set the goal to your figure. If you don’t see your figure listed then you probably have it selected and are working with the wrong thing.

6.      Set the magnitude to 0.1 or 0.05. The loosen brush is very sensitive and this is the strength of the brush so you want it low. The size is your choice. I usually find the default too small. Use whatever you’re comfortable with.

7.      Working from the edges of the poke-through inward, stroke brush over poke through. Work only on one side of the clothing. Later you can mirror the morph. Be patient as you work. Higher poly garments are slower to work with.

8.      Once there are no more poke-throughs go to display>figure style> wireframe (or press ctrl-alt 3) to check for places where the clothing is too far from the figure

9.      If you find places that need to be fixed, use the tighten fit brush. Set the Pokethrough margin to about .001or so. The smaller the number, the closer to the figure the clothing will get. .5 is good for the magnitude and your choice of brush sizes.

10.  Stroke the places you want closer.

11.  For tight areas, like between the legs, you can hide the body parts that are in the way.

12.  Make sure no parts are touching other parts, like in between the legs. The fitting room may get confused and mix up polys.

13.  Use the smoothing tool for any place the polys are bunching. You may need to use the loosen brush again after.

14.  At the bottom of the morph tool click on mirror and copy the morph from the side you were working on to the other.

15.  Go to display>figure style>use document style (ctrl.alt 0) and look for areas that need touch ups.

16.  When you don’t have any more. close the morph pallet

17.  Save your work. You don’t want to go through that again.

18.  Go into the fitting room and create a new session. For the object choose the clothing you are converting. Make sure the zero figure is NOT checked. Choose your figure for the goal. The zero figure can be checked here.

19.  Ignore all the fitting tools because they don’t work right and the clothing is already shaped how you want it.

20.  Hit create figure button

21.  A window will pop up with a chance to name the clothing. You can use the suggested name or another. Click okay

22.  In the transfer figure popup window, click on the checkbox to deselect everything and then select only the body parts you need. You don’t have to select every part individually. You can select the extremities (neck, forearm, shin, or foot) and everything between that and body will be selected.

23.   Click on select to choose which morphs you want to copy.

24.  If the grouping is similar, you can choose to try to use the original grouping of the body parts, if they are different (such as having other parts) check auto group

25.  Click okay and go back to the pose room

26.  Hide the original clothing and select the new clothing

27.  Go to figures>copy joint zones from and choose the figure you are fitting it to.

28.   Conform and test

29.  Save file

30.  Save the new clothing to the library

One last tip.  Don't panic.

It will take you about as long to do this as it did to read the instructions.

Seriously, it only takes a few minutes.

thanks for the tips, the fitting room is one place i have never ventured. i will print out the instructions and give it a go.

how do you deal with situations in the fitting room such as pant legs that need cutting down because they are too long? please?

Sorry about the long instructions. I used to be a preschool teacher so I have a tendency to be very basic in my instructions. It really isn't that hard

im happy with long instructions, im not the best pc wiz. i mangaged to fit a ranger top and now i looking at some pants but the legs go down over the feet. what tool do i use to shorten the pants? 

use the Y scale of the legs, either thighs or shins. If you don't see it, you can show hidden parameters on the menu for the parameters pallet.

i have no clue what thats about? nor do i want to. 

thanks again to RedPhantom for showing me the fitting room, its never been a place i ventured untill today, not had a bad start 

the top needs redoing but im getting a better clue how to work this now and more inmportant i dont have to age up my character. thanks

That's not bad for your first time. Glad I could help

what causes this? and when in the fitting room what do you do when the clothes start breaking up? 

In the poser room go to figures>copy joint zones from and choose the figure you are fitting it to, in this case, Laura

if that doesn't work, you'll need to adjust them manually.

First, find out which movement (twist, bend, or side to side) and which body part are causing the problem.

then open your joint editor pallet. Window>joint editor or ctrl, shift, j

with the body part selected on the clothing (in this case, it looks like the shin) select the inner mat circle. You need to select one of the joint movements on the joint editor to have it show up.

Rescale the x, y or z of the sphere until that distortion disappears

I've hit another snag. the clothes seem to have started deviding at some point. How is this caused and how do i fix it please?
