Hi, Can any one tell what the best way to fit clothes is?? ie. is there an automatica button that does it for you?

If the clothes are specific to the figure (Vicky 2 clothes for Vicky 2), then when you add the clothes to the scene, select "Conform to..." from the Figure Menu, and select the figure to which to conform.

Under the "figures" drop down menu there is a command "conform to" that is supposed to make the clothing object fit and conform to your figure. However, in my experience it doesn't always work and Poser points out work arounds in the manual. The one that is suggested most is to turn off the "visible" option in the properties dialogue for the particular body part that shows through the clothing object. A problem with that though is sometimes the objects are not exactly uniform. For instance: a small shirt on a muscular figure; if you make the abdomen invisable then the edges of the shirt may not line up with the hips. The bottom line is I think, you still have to fiddle with the transform controls to try and get the clothing to fit as closely as possible in those cases. Even after using the "conform to" command.

Clothing that are "figures" can be conformed to the standard body-- sometimes they also have morphs to various variations, but not usually. To conform them, load the figure for which they have been designed, then load the clothing-- do not double click, you will replace the figure-- use the middle button which is in the form of a double check. Then go up to Figure/conform to and pick Figure 1 or whatever you have renamed your main figure. You may have to reconform in the sane fashion after you pose some garments, you may have to set some parts of the body invisible in order to pose. For clothing that are props-- much armor and gloves and bracers are pp2-- do not conform-- go to Object/change parent and set the portion of the body you wish to parent the prop clothing to. Again, you may have to redo this after extreme posing, like dropping the figure to a resting position. You also may have to make parts invisible with tight fitting props. Shoes and boots usually need the foot and toes invisible, also sometimes the shin. Sometimes poske through is unavoidable and you have to do some post to take care of it.

"Nothing's perfect in theis world" yeah right, including my spelling-- that would be poke through not poske through. Emily
