Hi all!
Does anyone here know if you are allowed to load other non-poser figures into Virtual Fashion Basic? See, it being about one hundred dollars, I don't want to spend all that money only to find out I can't really create any dynamic clothing for characters like V3, Aiko, M3, D3, and SP3...so I wanted to make sure because I decided to go ahead and spend for it.
If anyone would be so kind as to help, it would be much appreciated. :)

You can't load the other figures into VF basic, but you really don't need to. If you can deal with a few extra steps you can load the clothing into Poser and fit it to the other figures from there.
Olivier over at Runtime DNA has a tutorial posted in their forum that's very helpful.

Can you make good clothing with it? Haven't seen much from the ads that looks different from what's already been done.

As far as I can tell you can make absolutely anything. Pants, shirts, jackets, dresses, shoes. Everything.

I have VF and it is a very good program for beginers (Like me). I have made several things with it at this point, it can even do mesh/transparent materials..
The only problem that I and some others have had is that some times you have to make the clothing a bit baggier than I would like in order for it to be able to be brought into poser.
This can be dealt with by doing a rescale of the figure during the cloth sim.
Good luck

Marque, whether or not any outfit looks different from what has already been done probably depends more on the imagination of the creator than on the program used. A pencil skirt done in Max is still a pencil skirt!
That said, I have to warn you BinkiKitty -- this program is not perfect, and anything complicated is going to take just as much work as it would in any modeller. But it works the way I think.:-) I have a pile of paper dress patterns and it's great to simply take a pair of scissors to a big old hunk of cloth using the patterns as a rough guide. The last couple of images in my gallery use outfits I made, if you are interested. They are not unusual -- just a couple of folkwear patterns.
Have fun!

Thank you for the pics I appreciate it! So you just cut them out and fit them like you are sewing them?

Yup, that's the way! It is also often the way Chanel reportedly worked -- and if it was good enough for her. . . :-)
