Doing some practice in ZBrush and Poser. Took going into DAZ Studio to get the proper fit to Dusk (eventually L'Homme) and then back to Poser to import the eyebrows I made. So I got them parented to Dusk's head, which works fine but I was HOPING that by injecting all the needed head morphs into the brows that they would follow along. That's a no go sadly.

So I've not had a try at using the fitting room. I just would like to know if anyone has any luck using the fitting room to conform things like beards or eyebrows to figures. If so can you direct me to an easy to understand tutorial to make this happen? Honestly, I'm spoiled rotten with the tools from DAZ Studio for conforming stuff so having to go a new route is a bit daunting for me.

They are by NO MEANS my finest work, it was one of my early experiments using Fiber Mesh, very early, like around when Dusk 1 was released. Might be a good "toon" brow but not realistic enough for my tastes. See the screen shot..

Thanks so much!

Indeed parenting does not connect morph channels or rigging. Conforming does. Best use the Fitting Room to create your conformer.

Yes but is there a tutorial that is specific to doing that?

These instructions assume the beard already fits the default figure (you said Dusk).

1. Load both the beard and Dusk (or any other figure)
2. Turn off IKs for Dusk if needed and zero the figure. If you're using L'homme, set his size morph to 0 it doesn't seem to zero with the rest
3. Open the fitting room
4. Start a new session using the beard as the object and Dusk (or whoever) as the goal. Uncheck zero figure (or prop) for the beard and leave it checked for Dusk
5. click on Create figure, type a name and click ok
6. uncheck the box for Dusk (or your figure) to clear all boxes
7. scroll down to jaw and check that box. Everything in between will check automatically.
8. If you grouped the beard already, leave auto group unchecked. If you didn't, check it.
9. Select the morphs you want to transfer
10. Click okay
11. Go back to the pose room and click figures>copy joint zones Dusk
12. Conform and save/use as any other figure

This method can be used for fitting anything to anyone. There are fitting tools in the fitting room, but I find it easier to pose and size the clothing close to the figure in the pose room and finalize it with the morph tool. The auto group isn't the best, but good enough for personal work, and sometimes it might work for professional quality if you're lucky.

As Redphantom said, See also Poser manual, Chapter 30.

Thanks so much. I'll use the above info to try it out.

It's too bad there are no video tutorials specific for this as I'm a visual learner.

Thanks again

Well tried it out. Two things happened. The brows were recreated fine but they were further down the brow "bone" so I moved them up via the translation but then when I went to transfer the joint zones, crashy crash crash crash! Will save my work next time before trying that again! GRRRRRRRRR

I finally got them completed, even the zones copied over, but the brows are not behaving as they should. The brow morphs for Dusk are completely ignored while some of the face shapes work OK but ultimately for most head shapes the brows look unacceptable. Learning this is for a for sale pack I'm working on (not these brows as explained above as they are only for testing and learning)

Any suggestions as to what to try to get them working as expected?

Thanks so much, Richard
