Although I'm not terribly new to dynamic clothing I've pretty much limited my use of them to character specific clothes. Being more experienced now I'm fitting these clothes on a variety of characters but sometimes the scaling and morphing I do to ensure that no part is touching the figure ends up in having clothing that looks a bit too big for the figure. Is there any way I can get it to shrink on the body for a tighter fit? I thought draping would be the key but it doesn't seem to work.

You can try the following:

• scale your figure down to 90 percent x and z scale

• scale your clothing item down the same amount or a bit less - fit it to the figure and export the object.

• reload the object - make a ten frame simulation with rescaling the figure to 100 percent

• calculate the simulation - the result should be a tight fight

This works only sometimes - I found that if the clothing prop is parented to the figure, it will be scaled automatically and the effect is zero. But its worth a try.

Thanks for the suggestions! Acadia, I do use WW but when converting clothes to smaller-sized characters they tend to have a lot of wrinkles, hence all the smoothing and inflating that leaves the item looking a bit bulky. MungoPark, I just tried that and it worked! Thanks!

Do you smooth by body part? I find I get better smoothing results when I smooth by body part (IE: Right collar, chest, hip etc).

Usually too lazy to do that LOL! I just select body and smooth if it's all wrinkled. But I do inflate by body part only where needed :)

Speaking of PhilC, -- his next next of python tools will include "Shrink to Fit" as well as other goodies. You can read more about it on the PhilC forums. bB
