After conforming the DAZ V3 bikini to V3, I can get the bikini top to follow the movements of V3's body and stay well-conformed... but ONLY if I move her using the V3-body parameter dials (e.g., for BrstRLeft). When I use the dial for the same morph under a relevant body part, such as V3-chest, the bikini top doesn't follow her movements.

The attached pic shows the effect of a 0.180 setting for the BrstRLeft parameter dial under Chest.

I could use the morphs under Body for movement in animations, but then they won't be saveable as poses.

Any suggestions? (Thanks, anticipatorily)

p.s. In the pic, please pardon the obvious glitches in her extremities, but the weird shape of her legs and the disconnects between her forearm and hand seem to be a result of using the "stretch" dials for arms and legs. I still haven't found a way to give her longer legs and arms without confounding various poses, even using magnets (but then I'm not very good with magnets).

I've noticed the disconnects between forearms and hands in many other posted pictures, but don't know if they are all the result of the arms being "stretched" using the supplied morph dial. I'm not sure that material zones was such a great idea, seeing how many glitches appear on the dividing lines. Carolly

You'll probably have to tweak it by using thye same morph setting on the corresponding bikini part as you do on Miss V

I think the following of body morphs only is by design. If they included auto-matching morphs for all the relevant body parts, the size of the bikini file would become enormous. It's already a 14 meg download. It seems likely that some of the clever coding types who understand the cr2 stuff could come up with a solution.

Um... give her realistic breast proportions?!?!?!?! Just write it off as due to the House Mouse getting into her bra storage, and started nibbling away.

hehehe...... speaking as a woman, i pitty her, her back must be killing her... LOL... and if your breasts are that HUGE, i highly doubt you would be able to wear that top without the straps cutting into ur shoulders.... hehehehe "help help some ballons have got stuck under my skin" teehee on the subject of morphing the top, so far i have no trouble with the bikini, it seems to follow the same shape when i change the shape of V3's breats automatically... -=SimderZ=-

Well, the easy answer would be to turn the corresponding dial on her bikini body part the same amount as the dial for the V3 body part. Not the automatic full body dials, as you quite rightly point out. The fact that poses do not save the fbm settings is one of Posers most serious drawbacks, making full body dials useless. EXTREMELY irritating. :] Fish

This is a problem? Usually the problem is getting them out of the bra. Kidding aside I usually make the cup a little bigger on the Z. It doesn't have to be skin tight all the time since most shots are from relativily far away.

When I encounter the problem, I've fixed it by dialing up the particular breast morph on the bikini to make it just a little bigger.

All Poser figures that have clothing with Full Body Morphs with identical names work this way, by accident or design. I've come to think of it as a disadvantage, I now name my clothing FBMs with slightly different names (often just the underline character at the end), which prevents crosstalk, anyway. It also allows adjustment of the FBM of theclothing, if you try it on something like the DAZ bikini your notice the dial doesn't work once the item is conformed, as the figure has taken control of it. I don't think the "stretch" dials work right either, I think I'm going to take 'em out of the V3 character I'm making. Those dials (I think) just run the scaling, which also has problems, I think.

If you look at her face, she is definitely feeling the impact of those implants!

LoL @ ryamka :)

Yep, she should have huge grooves in her shoulders.

Large breasted women deserve love too..And clothes that fit.

Well, thanks to Momcat's suggestion, I figured out how to move V3's breasts using rotation morph dials without her popping out of the V3 bikini top, and without resorting to posing V3-Body. As she suggested, the trick seems to be to pose the bikini top using the same morph dials. The weird thing is, I could only get it to work properly by using the BrstLRight (and the other 3 corresponding morphs) under V3-Chest, then I had to pose the bikini top using the BrstLRight (etc) under BOTH the Chest and Collar body parts. If I rotated her using V3-Collar, the mesh would go askew. And if I posed the bikini using only Chest or Collar, the bikini wouldn't conform. There are a couple frames where the bikini can't quite keep up with V3, but Jim Burton's 101% scaling idea solved those minor peek-throughs.

So... seems like a bit of a hassle, but once I have pose files for a particular set of movements, I guess it should be ok. But I can tell my pose library is going to get as oversized as... well... as my V3!

Oops... credit for the suggestion conveyed in this thread to slightly scale up clothing goes to milamber42 rather than Jim Burton, though I owe Jim B many thanks for lots of other great ideas and products (can't wait to use the refit file I just downloaded to fit his Las Vegas hair to my V3)!
