I'm sure someone's covered this before, and I apologize for such a basic question. I've found that some conforming clothes jump to the knees or neck, when you choose "conform to...". They're also "bunched up" This can happen even in extremely simple scenes, such as one figure, such as v3, and one clothing "character", such as a swimsuit,and no props. Is there any trick?

It sounds like you might be trying to put the clothes for another figure onto v3. Clothes usually only work for the figure they are made for.

This often happens with these scenarios. Just trying to cover a range of ideas here. -Figure is scaled? -Clothing is for another figure? -You are conforming accidently to a hair figure with no legs?

As a side problem, how do you conform shoes when you have scaled the legs to another length? As of now the toes and heels poke out of the shoe. I don't want to just make the toes invisable, because with some shoes you want to see the toes, just in the right position. I saw this answered here at one time but can't figure out how to find it again.

Fazzel, Just don't conform. Apply the same pose to each figure/clothing seperately.

In most cases shoes work better as props. Parent them to the feet with "inherit bends" on. You can turn figure shoes to prop shoes by importing the original OBJ and creating props using the grouping tool. Be sure to include the "foot" and "toe" for each "shoe" Nerd3D

In my very simple case, it's a new scene, no other characters, and the bald V3 figure is not modified in any way. Granted I get a lot of V3 "freebie" clothes; some conform work fine, others don't. I noticed some clothes are pretty picky about the figures. I think DAZ has "V3 blank" and "V3 SR1." Same with the millennium kids, where there's a couple named similarly. Thanks Nerd3d about the tip on shoes. This is a source of aggravation. Love your work by the way.
