Some of you know I can get mystified by the darndest things. I've had this Suit for months (I think), and can't really figure how to handle it. Hey, is Vicky supposed to be standing on top of her boots here? I guess you change the look of the suit by selecting a part and clicking a change dial? But what about her feet in these boots?

Open the hirachie window.from your figure 1 (viccy) search the feet and the toes.in front of each of them there is a little eye in the hirarchie window, click onces the eye for every object so the objects gets invisible. Dont try with the dials, because everytime you apply a pose ,the feet get in the old position and you have to dial all again

You mean I should make the feet and toes invisible? I managed that, but it appears Vicky's shins still show through. Also, does anyone have any wisdom about the Changing Fantasy Suit itself? Has anyone created any masterpieces with this outfit?

It is awkward at times .. For onw thing you have the hip at 1 or 0 but the buttocks at the other one .. It does that all the time and you have to manually fix it. The feet and toes should be invisible, the shin needs to be tapered to fit into the boot and unfortuantely you can't use any morphs on thefigure without it sticking out. It doesn't scale that well either to fit a figure but it is a good set for all of that. Just kind of limited and stuck on a normal Vicki. Hope that helps.

OK, I was fiddling about and got the concept of changing the parts of the suit. I went to the DAZ site, and captured the popup diagram that shows this stuff. It helps a lot.

This is my latest rendition of the suit. I took off the helmet and stuff that comes with suit 2, or whatever it's called. I did that just for now.

I've never had trouble with it...it always conforms just fine for me.

Wow, then I don't know what you're doing that we're not doing right. Vicky's feet popped out of the boots from the start, and her shins do as well. I chose the conform option, but that didn't change anything. I've tapered her shins, but now her legs look just a bit thin.

I suggest you email Anton. I had some trouble with the Victoria's Changing Pony Tail a while back and he was very helpful.

Did you read the read me file that come with it? I skipped the read me too and I was confused like you about the way the feet work. Basically you have to make the feet and toes invisible and apply a transmap to the body of the character (Vicky) to hide the shins. It was made like this so that you could use the walk designer with the boots if I recall well (don't have the file handy rigth now...). Check the read me it helps. And BTW it actually is more difficult to use than Michael version because it has no mat files...

Like I said (I hope, sorry for my english...) there are not mat files as in Michael version and it takes time to apply textures. It took some time to understand how it works, but I like it as a product. It would be nice to have as afree update some mat files to speed the use of the suit.

OOOH, so I did some digging and found the readme file. Let's see if I can understand it. So you say the Mike Changing Fantasy suit has MAT files, while the Vicky version doesn't? Well many people have been nice enough to make MAT files for other stuff, so maybe if I whimper enough?!

There are MAT pose files for many or all of the extra texture packages that add onto this suit. i can't recall if the original had MAT pose files... Hmm... did i or did i not upload into Freestuff the Vicki-no-feet transmap that i made for this outfit? i'll have to do that. It's quite a help, but i wouldn't apply it until right before you render, or it gets hard to see your figure to pose her! Alternatively, as i've been doing on a project the last few days, you can make your transparent figures show in opaque cartoon style--one of the display options. Weird to work with, but works fine in the end. What else about this? Oh yes, i ended up getting her feet and everything just so in this suit, and then saving out a character/figure (CR2 file) with both parts of the VCFS on it, all fixed up, to save time in the future. Definitely worth doing if you want to use this again and again.

Ron, Turn of the visibility for any part that pokes out through the clothes. If this is not an option, because part of the underlying figure is not covered by the article of clothing, try using the "Taper" dial on the offending part. Usually a very miniscule tweeking in the + or - is all you need to have the body part crawl back into it's clothes. Hope this helps

Yes, you've all been a huge help. Now, for something different, I'm tackling Voluptuous Vicky. I found a character for her, but don't even know it's name. I'm having fun anyway. I can tell you "one size does not fit all," grin.

Just select the part that's sticking out, open Object menu, and click Properties, then uncheck the Visible box. This will make the offending part invisible. Melanie
