Ok, been usign poser since version4, but am still no very clued up on it as I export to render in Vue which I'm vaslty more familiar with.

I currently have Poser pro2012 for refference as so what  app I use, and render in Vue Infinite10
Totally unfamiliar with DAZstudio bbut willing to give it a go if need.

what I'd like to know, since clothifying conforming clothes seems a right pain in butt to put it mildly :p is there anyway to "paint" geometry details onto conforming clothing inside poser (or DazStudio) as I think you can for faces, without having to edit the model in external program?

magnets are  pain and no use for putting in the level of detial I'd like: creases, better conforming to limbs, cuffs to wrists etc, very important for level of realism I want.

Forgive the newbishness, serious health problems and hellish couple of years aint helpful for picking up art techniques.

Thanks for any help! :)

You can always use the morph tool to add creases to clothing. That's pretty easy and I do it all the time.

As for cuffs and the like, that's different, and I'm not sure it's possible inside Poser.

ah so the morph tool also works on clothes?! damn wish I'd realized that sooner, that is very helpful, than you :)

It works on everything.

sigh, thought it was still only a thing for faces, as said, VERY noobish about Poser even after all these years, lol!

thanks again, very helpful indeed :)

The morph tool in Poser is very useful for tweaking the general shape and fit, but for clothing details such as pocket flaps, tucks, seams, buttons, embroidery etc, you would have better results if you used displacement maps. Clothing details need defined edges, and the morph tool is not well adapted to that, but displacement maps and special textures can make a huge difference.  Short of taking the clothing into a modelling app, I would say that is your best option.

But if you can use the morph tool, you should find the sculpting options in Blender a pleasure to work with.
