Im working on a superheroine.. Now I made a arther nice catsuit.. but that doesnt seem to allow for making changes above the basic form.. (IE.. taller or muscular) Im using VIC 2.0 and the conforming catsuit. (Im shooting for a tall she hulk sort) I've heard the best for exaggerated bodies is to paint the costume directly onto her body... but how to prevent the design from streaching paticularly in the chest area and to get a crisp Look... Any advice would help. Any suggestions for a newbie (attached is one image.. I'm genshi BTW)

There are two ways to solve this: Get "The Tailor" from the DAZ store. It's a tool that makes it possible to transfer the Vicky morphs you're using to the catsuit. or: Get the Victoria Morphing Clothing Pack from DAZ. It's an enhancement to the regular Vicky Clothing Pack 1 that includes most of the Vicky II morphs. This means that you can spin the dials on the catsuit to the same settings as the Vicky II and you'll end up with a perfectly fitting catsuit.

Ok thanks!

I should have added that you can attack the catsuit with a bunch of magnets as well, but that's not easy if you want it to still fit tightly when done... So why bother when you have a choice of two reasonably priced solutions that will take care of it for you ;-)

Wow... same sort of dilemna... but mine goes much deeper. I started with Seang's Mikey character for Michael, which is a pretty serious restructuring of the geometry. I further modified Mikey with the Dylan morph's from Handspan Studio's Dylan. I can get most clothes to fit with a little work, but Micheal's body suit is just a no-go...

Would the Tailor be an answer to my problem?

wow.. yes indeed a bit deeper. let me know how it comes out.. Taking little Vicky to a 6+ muscled amazon isnt a picnic either but no where near your issue. =)

Dynamo go check out www.runtimedna.com and in the free section you will find a nice re-do of the catsuits for both Mike and Vickie. They might do the trick for you. Tailor is a nice program to have too, really comes in handy. Marque

heyas; if you're only scaling your figure, or certain body parts (ie: longer legs), you can probably translate this onto your conforming cat suit deal. first, conform the suit to the figure. once it gloms on there, you can change the settings. if you've scaled the BODY of your figure, apply those scales to the conformer. if you've used like 'superhero' or 'fashion model' sizing on your figure, then apply that to the clothing. if you've x-scaled the arms or y-scaled the legs, etc, do the same for the clothing body parts so they match. once you're done getting all that fixed, select your conformer and memorize the figure (edit: memorize: figure). save it, and your heroine to the figure library. now, if you mean the morphs, then you want to do the tailor or the magnet deals, etc.
