How to conform a male cloth on a custom model? How to apply a home-made texture on clothes (i tried to change the texture in surface material menu but it does not seem to work)? PS: i am a newbie

What do you mean by a male cloth? If you are trying to put the P4 standard male clothing on to Daz3D's Michael, it won't work very well. Michael is set up differently. It would be like fitting a jigsaw puzzle piece from one puzzle into another puzzle. Did you change the texture for the object itself or just the Preview mode?

There is some material on this in the manual. Try reading that.

To apply separate clothing: Load the clothing items into the scene. Select the clothing item and click figure: Conform to: then select the actual person the clothing should fit on. To apply painted on clothes: Go to Render: Render Materials. For each body part that needs to use a texture map, select the body part in the upper right corner of the screen, then click on Texture Map: Load. You'll be able to browse your hard drive to find the texture map. Once you load the texture map for the first body part, you can simply select the next body part and click on the drop down box to choose the texture map. I hope this helps. I'm having trouble understanding exactly what your question is. As doozy said, this process is explained in the manual. If you are having problems understanding the process in the manual, please ask a specific question so we know which step you are having problems with.

Crescent> i conformed an adult cloth on my boy modified figure but the result is awful are there any special clothes for boy model? i did load the material and applied on the body part but i still get the body color instead of the texture when i render (i suppose my texture does not fit the body part) is there a way to specify texture coordinates?

You have to use clothing made for the boy. Clothing made for other characters won't fit properly. Think of it this way, you probably wouldn't fit into my clothes very well, and vice versa. In real life, can a 12 year old boy wear a 30 year old man's clothes? Probably not. Sorry to say, but there's very little clothing available for kids. Textures are the same way. You have to use a texture made specifically for that model. Each model has a template. You can create your own textures from these templates if you can not find a texture that you like. Hope this helps.
