A modified .cr2 would have other problems I guess.

I think I could modify one of my material creation scripts so that it would add your second skins to an existing shader without breaking it. Such a script could be loaded from the library as a mat pose would. Would you be willing to test this, would you give this a try?

Opera, you should help yourself. Most likely.

Nathalie, you will have to upgtrade to Poser 11 (Pro or non-Ptro) to use La Femme. Making clothes for her is really easy, she works like a charm in the cloth room and the fitting room.

I like Maya too.

Dynamic clothes seem to work for me better with La Femme than with any other figure I've tried before. I did use dynamic clothes before, but often needed to calculate the simulation very often until I've got the look that I was going for. This is a Karanta cloth for Project E, made wearable for La Femme with the Prefitter.

I know her works well, she was really talented. She will be missed.

Condolences to her family.

`This is Neko La Femme,

BH's HD morphs, Halo hair from prae.

The Prefitter is still supported. It was migrated from Content Paradise, maybe that's why.

You don't need MD for it, just Poser. MD was used to create the Prefitter. There is a version with the MD files, but you only need that if you have MD and want to create more fitting morphs for different figures. Most people will be happy with the base version.

I've described the workflow above, no MD in it. Just Poser. Load, conform to Prefitter, copy relevant morphs, un-conform, load target figure, dial in the morph, fix remaining Problems with the Morph Brush, make conforming with Fitting Room. No MD in this workflow.

Works for hair and most boots as well, according to the description. I've just made clothes up to now.

Official Documentation

I've read about it at the SM Forum, IIRC. I think it was here as well.

The Prefitter is a figure with fitting Morphs for several figures. You load your garment into the Scene, conform it to the Prefitter and copy the fitting Morphs to your garment. You unparent the garment and have a fitting Morph for the figures you selected in it. Without parenting, you dial in the Morph in the otherwhise zeroed garment and it will mostly fit your zeroed target figure. After that you can use the Fitting Room to make it conforming.

This work better than fitting with the fitting room, because the Morphs in the Prefitter are created with Marvellous Designer's Cloth Simulation. It does not move the Cloth like the figure would move but rather how a garment on the figure would move. The results aren't perfect, but way better than with the fitting room. Usually some strokes with the Morph brush are needed to correct the garment where the Transformation isn't perfect - you do that before the fitting room.

I do have ZBrush, I used to refit my clothes with that, but the Prefitter saves me a lot of time to get the clothes 90% correct. For me it's wll worth the Money.

Link to the Extension for La Femme

The prefitter has an extension for La Femme now. I tried it with some clothes from V4, and while it's not fully automated it does 98% of the job.

I should have moved the llower teeth a little bit in the upper image. No time to rerender right now, too late for editing anyway. Hmpf.

Here I just changed the facial morphs. The texture is the same, which still makes them similar. But the morphs are very versatile, even without morph packs.

Except for the clothes, this is all in the base pack. Fitting morph for Pauline's Amy hair, standard skin, standard face morphs. Ugly?

Let me tell you that you have a very narrow path to success then...

Looks a lot like Scarlett Johansson to me. Eyes and chin should come close with the included dials, for the rest I would use the Morph Brush or ZBrush.

1. "La Femme's base mesh is very light weight, but since it works that well with SubD, it's relatively easy to add even the finest detail to the mesh, as long as your machine can handle the polygons. V4 has [too many polys]" -- True, if that slows you down, a lighter-weight base is better.

V4 has too many poles. Poles are points in the mesh that cannot be smoothed by subdivision. I even linked a thread in it which explained what poles are, where to put them, what their problems are. Too many polys isn't what I meant. "Unsuitable geometry" would be better to describe it.

With a figure like La Femme, you can have a low poly figure in the viewport, saving memory when it counts and making posing more fluent. Still you can render a high detail mesh in the final render. You can reduce La Femme's subdivision in the viewport without any differences in the render, V4 is much more polygon heavy than this. Still you will get every detail from Blackhearteds HD morphs when rendering. Try that with V4, it will not work quite as good. The mesh wasn't built for subdivision.
