To make a pose file that will turn parenting on or off? Basically Poser saves that info when it saves a prop as a smart prop. I was wondering if it might be possible to make a pose file that would parent or unparent a clothing item to a figure.

Say the chest of a shirt to the chest of the figure, or the hip of pants to the hip group of the figure. Or even force set up multiple parented groups so that every body group of the clothing item is parented to the corresponing body part of the figure.

Of course, that is almost the same as conforming, but I would think there would be a difference. At least there seems to be a difference in the way a parented object or clothing item interacts with the figure and a confromed item when you try manipulating it.

Just wondering if anyone has experimented with this idea and if so what results they found. No point my reinventing the wheel if someone else already established that Poser will not let you do this - or better, has found a way to make Poser do this and does not mind sharing that info.

Thanks,

Rob
