I have some dork garb I'd like to have work for Michael 1 and 2. Is there any way at all to convert or reconfigure the items in question to fit? Specifically, I'm talking about a skant. And this would be for my own use, no distribution involved. TIA everyone.

Well, you can use the M2P4 figure to git it to a figure with michael's head, but the body is still Dorkish. Otherwise, it takes a lot of work to make a clothing figure fit a fig it wasn't designed for.

Clothes Converter by markdc, in the store here has good reviews. I understand that it takes some extra work to fine tune, but posts by people that have it, really like it. http://market.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?ViewSoftgood=25982

Wyrwulf, lately you seem to have all sorts of answers to my various Poser predicaments. Once again, thank you.

Just the luck of the draw, me being one of the first to post the answers to your questions.

There's a tutorial or two out there as well, which show what can be done for posed figures, rather than animations. There's several tricks which can be used. Start with just conforming the clothing to the new figure. 1: make use of all the morphs the clothing might have. 2: It may be possible to make some parts of the figure invisible. For instance, the P5 combat pants will fit, but the inside of the P4 figures thighs will show through. So make the thigh invisible. 3: Consider what can be done in post production. Make the chest invisible, and you have a nasty hole. Well, do two renders, with and without, put them in seperate layers in Photoshop or whatever, and fake it. Actually converting clothes for full posing and animation is much more difficult. The clothes need to match both the shape and the underlying structure of the body. There's no easy answers.

Argh. Well, that cinches it: I'm going to have to learn how to make clothes.
