I have been wondering on this question for a while now.
MoClo is able to push figure morphs into a cloth.
PML is able to express poses as morphs targets (you can pose a figure, export this as a .OBJ, and load it as a morph target into the zero posed figure).
So, if PML is used to create a FBM that brings a figure into the exact shape it usually reaches through bending, and MoClo could work on this FBM, could MoClo create a good JCM for it?
Could this work? If yes, one could automate this to process a set of poses automatically.
I am out of time to try it myself, so maybe someone in these forums could comment or try?

MoClo ? Do you mean this one ? http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=64629&vendor=288865

Does Morphing Clothes set up completely new ERC for morphs, if desired? I thought it only transferred ERC for morphs which already had it, in the source figure.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

I do not own the program. The question of ERC setup is another topic.
First step would be to generate JCMs.
I understood MoClo it could analyse the position/distance of the cloth to the body in zero pose.
Then you morph the Figure, and the cloth is morphed accordingly.
If you have a morph in the figure which gives it the shape of a pose, then the cloth might be following the pose?

Morphing Clothes does more or less what The Tailor did - only a lot better (or maybe it is just me, I never had much luck with The Tailor) It transfers morphs from the base figure and onto the clothing by some clever approximation method.
Since I have both programs AND a piece of clothing with a wonky joint, I'll try this out over the weekend and see if it is indeed the Solution to this annoying problem :)
I hope it is.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
Using Poser since 2002. Currently at Version 11.1 - Win 10.

Maybe try just PML first. The technique I have in mind is a bit tricky, and might or might not work.
