oh, and i forgot, S3P is the only 3rd generation DAZ figure i own. (i just could not resist her) and i still use poser 4 only - see, i'm on a budget. the big money eater currently is my motorcycle... :-)

yep, found that. actually, it's not so far yet, still need to find the correct settings i'going to put in there. origin and end are clear, but to understand the different types of static and dynamic parameters, and what they are good for - that is currently my problem. but i must admit that since christmas/new year vacations are over, i just lack a big amount of time to investigate. say, i'm so tired when returning from work...

knew DAZ arcana tutorials already - maybe i was just too stupid to understand 'em? gimme next weekend to work them out again. anyway thanks for the links. i didn't realize those utility poses until now!

mannequin has no joints.

just checked JPs again. found that joint parameters actually ARE relative. sorry in case i irritated someone. the only part of joints being absolute are origin and end, and there is hardly a reasonable way to put these relatively.

agree. i already said in the first message, this procedure will only fit geometry. as long as you try to conform the original cloth (after enhancing it fit the "fitting morph"), the JPs are resized with the geometry. this will only work as a basic setting and needs some fine tuning. unfortunately poser uses absolute JP values. no way to change to relative values without creating an (incompatible) new program. and, beside that, relative JP values would not solve all problems in conforming. back to new clothes for S3P: it would be useless to export the morphed cloth and use it as new geometry object to base a new cloth figure on. (because of the absolute JP values issue). using the JPs given with some already existing fully conforming cloth for the new target character (here S3P) might better help to find a proper setting. well, some more detailed tutorials on conforming would be nice - any expert out there willing to share knowledge? i am willing to learn! (the tutorials i found so far end when it gets interesting... ) can someone comment PhilC's tutorial CD? ist it worth its price? oh, and then there is still something more i wanted to mention: the method should work for ALL unimesh characters - including M3. (looking for a leather jacket/jeans jacket for S3P) :-)

happy to see it work! beryl, have wonderful dreams. bob, actually seeing Lord Nakagawa's "mannequins" clarified the process for me.
