Modelling FBMs for clothing
I'm trying to create FBMs in clothing with a modelling app - specifically, BAT Labs Casual Wear Pack using Truespace. I finally created a successful FBM morph that affects the left & right collar, chest and abdomen. It works but I want to verify that I'm not missing a step or doing anything that will have ill effects in the future. These are the steps I followed:
Like I said, it works fine and the process isn't too cumbersome. Is this method going to cause any future problems? Is there an alternate or simpler method? Thanks.

After consulting with the person I know that is aware of such things, that is indeed the process.

Well, one mistake- Don't export the clothing from Poser, just import the clothing directly from the Geometry folder. Poser doesn't do exact exports, plus you are just adding some extra steps.

Jim: The first thing I tried was importing from the Geometry folder but it didn't display the groups. I found out later using an exported model that is was an incorrect setting on my Truespace import filter. Thanks for reminding me. Thanks folks. Doing FBMs this way is a lot less aggravating than using magnets.
