Okay, I'm having a little trouble understanding what is going on here.
I loaded V6 into Carrara 8.5 Pro and then added the Neo Ayane Dress, posed V6 with a general pose, saved the Carrara doc, then re-opened it and the dress is messed up (only at the bottom). I tried some things that I thought might be the trouble (unchecking the IK and Constraints after selecting the dress) but it didn't seem to work. Okay...it DIDN'T work. lol
Does anyone have any tips out there?!?!

I have seen this kind of distortion when the vertices have not been assigned to the correct (or any) bones in the skeleton. You can check for this by applying a more drastic pose. Without even the save/re-open step, those mal-assigned vertices will distort. If this is the problem, it can be fixed by assigning the vertices properly. There are tutorials for doing this, as part of creating clothes in poser.

It seems like the developer would have taken care of any issues prior to selling the outfit. Thanks, Sue...

I just found something else that was interesting...two pelvis to shin bone sets (one of which is attached to the dress, and the other doesn't seem to have ant attachment at all). I checked the other clothing for this set and they only had one pelvis region of bones.

There is a way to fix that in studio. I can't remember it now but the instructions are in one of my older posts.

Did some digging and I can't locate it. All I accomplished was reminding myself why i gave up on this. I used Studio a lot because it had some great tools for fixing and fitting clothes and hair.

I don't understand why the developer would send it out like this, or why it has two sets of pelvis regions.
And you're saying that fixing it in Studio will make it work in Carrara?

Studio was practically a necessity to make DAZ content work in carrara. Then even that quit working. The last time I checked; and it has been a few months, studio and carrara didn't work well together aany more. I had to role back both installs to get them working together again. And I had spent too much on Studio plugins, DAZ content, and carrara for them not to work together practically seamlessly; which they actually have a few times. At one time I was loading poser dynamic clothing to Studio, converting to conforming clothes, then loaded them to carrara to soft cloth drape them. It worked quite well.
None the less that wasn't developed for carrara it was developed for studio, bet it works fine in it. No DAZ content is/was ever tested in carrara before release. You will find a lot of DAZ content does not work well in carrara if it works at all. Most content artiest use Studio to create their content {it's actually quite easy with Studio, lot of auto tools to make it easy}; well excluding Poser content but that ship sailed long ago.
