Quote - Where Genesis is concerned building clothing around a morphed shape is foolish to say the least, it has to be made to fit the gray golem otherwise you end up with crumple zones that wont go away.

As far as MD goes, load Genesis into a clean scene in DS and export it as OBJ, that will be your avatar in MD, build and drape your clothing around it.

You then export the clothing as OBJ and use the Transfer Utility on that in DS to rig it for Genesis, once rigged and conformed to Genesis you save it using "File > Save as > Support Asset > Figure/Prop Asset".

The other Genesis shapes are morphs, which means you need to create morphs in the clothing to get it to fit to those shapes.

And having to design girls and children's clothing on a six foot male is why I stopped using daz for the most part. I use to love daz and use it 90% of the time. However once in a while I will play with daz again but nearly always use poser now because I find it hard, "if not down right creepy", to try and designer a child's jumper on an adult man.  That's how I feel. Just not my thing to dress a man in children's clothing. But each to their own.  :)

Quote - When sending the figure to MD you need to reset the scale to 100%, since Julie is scaled down as well as morphed. Then when you bring the OBJ back into DS and use the Transfer Utility you need to set the Source Shape to Morph, then pick the Julie morph from the list, and in the More options area (click the button at the bottom of the dialogue if it isn't showing) check Reverse Source Shape from Target.

Thanks, I'll work on the scaling.

Thanks, that is what I thought happened but there so many terms that I still get confused.

Thanks, I will have to check those out.

Hello,

V4 I think has the most clothing. Does your charactor need to be any set age or dressed in a set way?

I've tried using Create UV overlay but the will not highlight so I can use it.  Thoughts?

Thanks, love it.

This is what has been helping me learn. On this web site, poser web site and youtube you can find a lot of free tutor videos. I download the videos to my computer then burn them to a DVD that can be watched on tv. Then I can watch the tutors in front of a large screen tv and actually see what is being click and take notes. Plus it easier to fast forward, freeze and rewind when watching on a tv.

Of an evening I pop some popcorn and spend an house watching and rewatching videos.

Hope that helps
Kimberly

This is great!  Thanks

The forum.

I signed in. I went to forum tab>  My forum options > Edit Your Options. Then in My Signature area I typed in the signature then scrolled to the bottom and clicked save.

I tried it again today with the same results.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I going to look at Philc today. I like this stuff. 

I've learned so much more being able to sit in bed and watch DVD's that I downing a ton of them today.  I simple can't sit and watch on a computer.

I have been watching these tutor tonight and learned a lot so far.  But, what software do you use as a poser file editor? 

I keep crashing poser working on deleting bone So the pose editor look much better. I have 2012 version. 

Thanks. 

Quote - I'm not knocking that tutorial, it looks well worth the money, however, one PhilC's site are severa free tutorials on rigging for poser that are free. They don;t go into weight mapping but you might want to start with the learning poser falloff rigging then jump to the RDNA tutorial once you feel a but more comfortable. I learned originally to do Poser clothing from Phil's DVD MANY years ago and found his teaching style to be very easy to follow.

Here's his site

http://www.philc.net/index.php

I've been through Philc site many time as well as other tutors. I'm just can't get a dress to work correctly. I hoped to put the video on dvd to watch on my TV where I can pause and rewatch would be helpful to understanding what I am doing wrong.

Poser 2012 Pro automagically transfers the weight map from the weight-mapped figure to the clothing when rigging in the setup room, since that's basically what the rigging is, anyway. (Or, it can do this with a simple toggle or a click. I haven't rigged anything in there, yet, but I've been playing with the weight-mapping existing on certain figures.)

Weight mapping is awesome, but it can be tricky to get it just right. For some applications, Poser's standard falloff zone's work pretty good.

I am looking at getting this tutor http://www.runtimedna.com/Poser-9-and-Poser-2012-Creating-Conforming-Clothing.html

Any thought about it? Is it worth getting?
