So here's the deal, I want to restart a story I'm writing, but I want to use the Dusk figure instead of M4. I 'll want to do the same thing with several other figures like V4 and Dawn. Thing is, I want to use M4's clothes to fit to Dusk and so on. I know little to nothing about using the Clothes fitter in Poser and was hoping someone could start me off by writing down some instructions to make M4's clothes fit Dusk to start. Help please?

Would this video help ?

POSER Tutorial Lesson 24: The Fitting Room by Renderosity

Another idea is cross dresser and a ten dollar license for Dusk and again for Dawn.

I have a step-by-step I wrote that I'll post after breakfast. I hope you're not afraid of the morph brush because I find it works better than the fitting tools in the fitting room.

1. Load figure. Turn off IKs. Use Figure>zero figure. (for L’Homme make sure the L’Homme size dial is set to zero.) Hide posing chips/control handles.

2. Load clothing

3. Move and resize the clothing so it is close to fitting your figure. You might also use the pose dials or scales for individual body parts of the clothing.

4. Make sure your figure isn’t subdivided. With the clothing selected, open the morph tool and don’t panic. (there’s always undo) Create a new morph and call it something unique like custom_morph. It really doesn’t matter what it’s called. It’s a temporary morph.

5. Select the Loosen fit brush and set the goal to your figure. If you don’t see your figure listed then you probably have it selected and are working with the wrong thing.

6. Set the magnitude to .1 or .05. The loosen brush is very sensitive and this is the strength of the brush so you want it low. The size is your choice. I usually find the default too small. Use whatever your comfortable with.

7. Working from the edges of the poke-through inward, stroke brush over poke through. Work only on one side. Later you can mirror the morph. Be patient as you work. Higher poly garments are slower to work with.

8. Once there are no more poke-throughs go to display>figure style> wireframe (or press ctrl-alt 3) to check for places where the clothing is too far from the figure.

9. If you find places that need to be fixed, use the tighten fit brush. Set the Pokethrough margin to about .001or so. The smaller the number, the closer to the figure the clothing will get. .5 is good for the magnitude and your choice of brush sizes.

10. Stroke the places you want closer.

11. For tight areas, like between the legs, you can hide the body parts that are in the way.

12. Make sure no parts are touching other parts, like in between the legs. The fitting room may get confused and mix up polys.

13. Use the smoothing tool for any place the polys are bunching. You may need to use the loosen brush

14. At the bottom of the morph tool click on mirror and copy the morph from the side you were working on to the other.

15. Go to display>figure style>use document style (ctrl.alt 0) and look for areas that need touch ups.

16. When you don’t have any more. close the morph pallet

17. Save your work. You don’t want to go through that again.

18. Go into the fitting room and create a new session. For the object choose the clothing you are converting. Make sure the zero figure is NOT checked. Choose your figure for the goal. The zero figure can be checked here.

19. Ignore all the fitting tools because they don’t work right and the clothing is already shaped how you want it.

20. Hit create figure button

21. A window will pop up with a chance to name the clothing. You can use the suggested name or another. Click okay

22. In the transfer figure popup window, click on the checkbox to deselect everything and then select only the body parts you need. You don’t have to select every part individually. You can select the extremities (neck, forearm, shin, or foot) and everything between that and body will be selected.

23. Click on select to choose which morphs you want to copy.

24. If the grouping is similar, you can choose to try to use the original grouping of the body parts, if they are different (such as having other parts) check auto group

25. Click okay and go back to the pose room

26. Hide the original clothing and select the new clothing

27. Go to figures>copy joint zones from and choose the figure you are fitting it to.

28. Conform and test

29. Save file

30. Save the new clothing to the library

Thanks RP. I'll give the instructions a go, but if it gets too tedious or daunting, I may end up taking Boni's advice and go with Crossdresser.. I've always been a Wardrobe Wizard guy, but I don't know if Phil even has any modules for Dusk and Dawn.

Thank You!! Just taking a quick look through the steps has me thinking this is just what I need.

I love the Fitting Room, but I'll go first to Evil Innocence's Crossdresser app. Does a great job converting Dusk/M4 and Dawn/V4 clothes. And many others, too. I bought the all-inclusive $99 license, but you don't have to. You can buy as many licenses as you need, as Boni noted. Crossdresser is free. All the "from" characters are also free. You just have to buy the license for the "to" characters.

BTW, I also love PhilC's Wardrobe Wizard. I use it in Poser 11 for Paul and Pauline. They're not included in the Crossdresser app. Crossdresser is as easy to use as Wardrobe Wizard, too.

Assuring there is a thigh gap is crucial! If Crossdresser works like Wardrobe Wizard, it is likely to fuse the thighs sometimes. After you have rigged the garment to Dusk, copy morphs from the M4 item. Those morphs will generally work just as well on Dusk.
