I've worked with the deformed bodies, some kind of big heads, small bodies, short legs and hands. However, I found problems with clothing whenever I conform the clothes to the body , even I deformed the clothes in the same proportion as the bodies. I would be thankful if anyone have salvation for this.

One of the problems, as I understand it, is that when Meta had Zygote do Poser 4 characters, they redid how some of the objects are grouped and changed some of the seams BUT they had already made all there clothing for the Poser 3 figure. (I think thats the story, someone correct me if I am wrong) So maybe shifting to the Poser 3 figure for clothed figures might be the answer. Other than that, the only answer I can find is use of Magnets. The best tutorial I can find on that is at: http://host-1.ghosteffects.com/poser/magnetTutorial/magnets.html Which is the homepage of Larry Weinburg who wrote the program. Nice guy and very helpful. Hope this helps.

I've had luck using Compose to permenently attach the clothes to the figure's body. That way the clothes, and the figure seem to deform equally and pose a heck of a lot better than using a deformed figure with seperate conformable clothing. The major obstacles that I've run into are the same obstacles a user would have with the P3 Business Woman (parts of the blouse or skin pop through joints when the figure is bent certain ways). The way I got around this: selected the unruly under garments with the grouping tool and changed the pop through parts to the same material as the outer garment. The result looks a little strange, but touches up nice in Photoshop.

Another QUICKer fix... just click on the offending body part and make it invisible. smile

RKane--that doesn't work when you combine the clothes and the model into the same figure. If you make the left thigh invisible, both dress and leg disappear. For me, Wind's Compose has worked amazingly well for rescaled figures.

Cool.... how does Compose work?

It allows you to combine the geometries of two different files to create a unique geometry file with the clothing already applied. It'd make a perfect newbie tutorial--since all a person would need is to have a copy of Poser 4, and download a copy of Steve Cox's UVMapper and John Wind's Compose from the free stuff pages to get started. Best of all, all 3 programs run cross platform.

Please let me know when you have that Tutorial done. I would LOVE to learn how! Thanks!

Freakachu, you could use the group tool on the offending parta, change its material and make that material totally transparent (100% min and max, with highlights pure black), not make invisible the bodypart. I think that should work. Compose sounds interesting, I'm gonna dowload it.
