hi there, i followed the discussion on fitting V3 cloth to SP3 using The Tailor and Morph Manager - there seems to be no idea around? well, i have som i'd like to discuss/share. The Tailor (TT) is made to transfer morphs from a base figure to clothing that is already fitting this base. that means, you can't use it to fit V3 clothing to S3P directly. instead, we need to create a morph for V3 that changed Victoria's geometry into Stephanie's, and transfer this morph to the V3 clothing (via TT). That should not be such a big problem, since V3 and S3P share the same "topology" (both are unimesh). so as far as i understand morphs, this is the procedure (in theory..) 1. export Steph3's body parts in poser as morph targets. possibly you might need some "tweaked" groups, depending on whether V3 and S3P use EXACTLY the same groups in their meshes). 2. create morphs for each pody part in V3 based on the morph targets created in step 1. 3. transfer these morphs to V3's cloths in TT. 4. use MM to create a full body morph for the piece of cloth. i think the use of Morph Manager is not mandatory, but yet it might ease the use of the S3P fitting morph a bit. unfortunately i could not verify this procedure yet - i just have no V3 available .... some questions immediately coming up: - if it is so easy to transform V3 into S3P, why did DAZ place a new figure/character? --> well, here we only take care for the geometry. joint parameters are not taken into account, that means, the clothing freshly adapted to S3P might need some conforming... - what if my morph targets from step 1 do not fit to V3 body parts? --> obviously then the grouping was not OK. as i told, this is just THEORY. but maybe it helps you creating new free clothing for petite Stephanie, who starts complainig about an empty wardrobe. and you know how ladies can be concerning this... many regards, sebastian by the way: yes, this is my first post on r'osity. hello again, and a happy new year!
