Ok, i want to I guess make morphs for the victoria bikini so it would conform to the breast morphs of victoria, is there a way to do this through ERC, or is this a totally different issue in which the bikini needs morphs to be modeled in an outside 3d program. Im just trying to learn stuff here so any help would be appreciated. Im guessing that the bikini model would need morphs exactly like victoria's chest in order for it to be a CM. If so, can I use like Compose to take those morphs from the chest or are they totally different. thanks in advance.!!!!!!

ERC (CM) have nothing to do with developing a morph. It is only a way of "turning" the dial of one morph (or channel) by turning the dial another morph (or channel). Compose will do a super peachy job of isolating a group or any combination of groups. It will not magically convert the rCollar of Vicki into the rCollar of the bikini. A morph is the group it works on. The number of verts and how they are linked is identical. The only difference is where the verts are in space. For a morph to work, it has to BE the group it morphs.

The only way I know to do a short cut morph for clothing, is with Poser magnets. You do the morph on the figure using the magnets, then you use the same magnets on the clothing and do the same morph. I think using the magnets to do a detailed morph is a bit like doing microsurgery with a carving knife. You might could do it, but you spend a lot of time fighting the tool.

Thanks, that clears some things up for me, I was leaning toward the direction that you cant just take morphs and do certain things with them. Thanks again
