I raided Judy's closet and made this dress for V3 in the cloth room. In the setup room I imported V3's skeleton to use. I am new to creating characters and haven't spent much time researching. Everything is perfect exept when it is time to conform, the bottom of the dress tweaks. I am hoping that this may be a little quicker than sifting through the tutorials, but I will browse them anyway. I made it a figure(although I prefer the dynamic approach) to see how easy it would be to alter clothing for different models.

Well, a quikie solution would be to put her in a very windy setup in an image :) Of course that is not a very helpful answer to you Q. I have neither V3,nor Poser5 (I have P5 uploaded, but have not had a chance to play with it yet). So, alas, I cannot be of much Tech help. I did redo the topic and perhaps that will get catch someone's eye that can be more helpful :) Good luck ladynimue

Did you zero-out the joints on the imported skeleton?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the zeroed joints...

No, no, no! I got it, I got it! (Jumping up an down, flailing every limb)

I tried that, same thing. I just bent the L&R Buttocks bones to -20(I think it was negative, could have been positive, but it doesn't matter). A little rough for certain poses, but I wanted some clothes that I could quickly apply without calculating dynamics. Check it out! It doesn't get much tighter than that!

Not without painting it on, anyway. :) Good work.

How about this one? Posette's haltertop dress on V3? Had to make some grouping changes below the waste, but not entirely bad. This again needed -20 degrees on the buttocks. Didn't even touch joint editor!
