Description
Click for 1024 pxl wide, download for full view.Well, I knew one day I would have to make a more descriptive documentation or lesson on Morphing Clothes, since it doesn't really explain a lot and doesn't show images, and I was a loud mouth in recommending it
Then a couple days ago someone said they can't understand the documentation on it and asked me how to use it... **smacks self** lolNote: Like normal, sometimes you will still have to make minor or major adjustments using morphs or fixes (included in the clothes), depending on the actual quality and tightness of the clothes. Clothes vary a lot in this area, so just note that there's no guarantee in every product, but I do highly recommend it as it works for most of them and will save you a lot of money, also 'cause at the time, most clothes still don't come with S4's partial body morphs (PBM).
I hope you guys can understand this and learn how to use this program!

Hi Wolfie, thank you for this tutorial. Β Β But it seems it is written for Poser by looking at the interface. Β I have Daz Studio 4.6 and needs to know how to add morphs, i.e. a cyclist jersey with front seam line to open and close the jersey. Β It is my very first clothing item I have done from a resource kit by Ghastly. Β But I would like to add the open/close morphs, also add morph such as a bit of wind blow for cyclist riding when jersey is open. Β Can this be done in DS 4.6 (or Hexagon) and if possible, how? Β The jersey was actually done in Hexagon 2.5 from a tutorial which I have followed in the Hexagon forums on how to cut the mesh. The fitting part to Genesis in DS 4.6 with the Transfer Utility tool. Any advice will be much appreciated as I am only a beginner! Β Thanks, Laura

Thankyou for the tutorial Jamminwolfie. I will have to purchase this plugin next time I have some spare poser cash :0) Ms Blinker still is the most used V4 in my runtime!

Absolutely welcome, friend, glad I can help! The program (a standalone program, not a plugin) is well worth the purchase and goes a long way, I still use it all the time

It helped me fit some clothes to S4. Do I need to add Sabrina's morphs to the clothes to make them fit her? I did the Sporty Baby 3.
π: 0 β©: 1
Don't need to add Sabrina's morphs to the clothes, the clothes should fit after you add all the correct morphs in Morphing Clothes (though in Poser, you may need to resize the clothes to her full body size, as they don't auto size like Daz Studio does). Be aware, that most clothes don't come with a lot of V4 morphs that Sabrina uses, such as nipple height, areola perk, tummy, etc... as well as a couple of Elite morphs, so you'll want to see what morphs Sabrina's using and add those as well in Morphing Clothes. I wish there was a way to distribute a clothes fit injection for Sabrina, but I don't think that's possible lol.

Thanks!! What about a set of magnets? Or is that the same?
π: 0 β©: 1
Magnets? I'm not experienced in that department to make clothes fits or anything, and honestly have no interest to do so when you have tools already (for dialed body characters). BTW, forgot to mention that in Poser, you have to resize the clothes according to Sabrina's body size. In Poser9 & 2012, for clothes, there's an option to include scales when conforming on the "properties" tab, don't know about earlier Poser.

Okies I'll try that then ^^

oh my gosh. You mean all this time I didn't have to be pulling out my hair while trying to get clothing to better fit my own dialed characters!?! lol wow!
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL that's what I said when I finally got that program

Absolutely welcome, Kerya!! It's great to see ya here!!
π: 0 β©: 0
I'll have to try this out now that I have a few characters that could use the fine-tuned clothing it provides.
π: 0 β©: 1
I will, believe me; it's not that I don't like looking at nude girls, but posting them most of the time might turn off a number of my few watchers.

Thanks a lot, evo!!
π: 0 β©: 0
Definitely going to have to make time to use it now. Thanks!
π: 0 β©: 1
Very welcome, Silver! I guarantee it's worth the time it takes, then you can use that clothing anytime after without having to deal with morphs missing

Thanks, friend, and you're welcome!

Nicely laid out look. I think I can follow this without looking at it again (good thing). Fav'n for others to see and me to find again.
Thank You for this and Ms Blinker, too!

Very welcome, mopar! And thanks for the fave! I'm glad you're enjoying Miss Blinker as well

I need to start using her in some work. I've been using A4 more for the anime look lately. But she is great! I need to sit down later and run through your tut, I'll let you know how it went for me.
π: 0 β©: 1
lol, there are lots of characters I bought that I need to use, or my money got blown in the wind hehe. I know how you feel though
...wolfie
π: 0 β©: 0
Yea --> [link] Best thing I ever bought and it works on all figures so you don't have to buy separate licences or anything for each figures. Even works on your own custom morphs.

Morphing Clothes.
You know, in a perfect world, Carrara and Poser would have this program's capabilities built right into them, and DS's morph follower would work better. Oh, and don't forget, DAZ Dynamic Clothes would be capabilities built into all 3D programs.
π: 0 β©: 2
It would certainly make a lot of sense to have these capabilities built into programs like that, wouldn't it? LOL
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yeah.
but then, that would make it a lot more times expensive, don't you think? I really think the traditional photographers have one over on us.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, it would probably be a lot more expensive...LOL.
The traditional photographers... eh, I don't think they have one over on us - they work in a completely different medium. I love their work just as much as digital art... but let's face it, by the time you count up the cost of the camera, the lenses, the tripods, the carry cases, the power sources, lights, the repeat costs of films (if they are using film-based cameras), developing costs... they probably shell out about the same as what we do for Poser in the long run! Depending on their equipment set, possibly more!

Very true. I was thinking about clothes and stuff. Drapery, tight fetish clothing, all of it.

In a perfect world, that is... lol.

Thanks for this, Wolfie. I haven't yet bought this program as I usually just run everything through Crossdresser (with varying results depending on figures and clothing involved). But this is one of the things on my wishlist, so if the documentation is really that poor, this tut will definitely help. Filed away in my tutorials lol.
π: 0 β©: 1
Never tried Crossdresser or the others, 'cause you have to buy licences for each "fits" or figures. Morphing Clothes, as old as it is, even works on the new figures, such as Elite, S4, even RebySky... even your custom morphs (yea, I tried that as well, works great).
...wolfie
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it's been in my wishlist for a while. The pricetag has kept me from risking it, though, due to programs like that having a sort of iffy reliability in terms of how well they work..
I might give it a try, though, if I have a little extra left after this month's bills are paid...
π: 0 β©: 0
You'll save much more time and money, if you will use basic V4...
Thanks for this tutorial, for some reasons it may helps!
One small remark - in Poser your content will placed in "Program Files\SmithMicro\Poser\Runtime\Geometries" by default...
π: 0 β©: 1
Using only basic V4 is totally boring... 
Very welcome! It doesn't matter which directory you copy the obj file from, they're the same as far as I know.

Ah, what would I do without my faithfull Morphing Clothes
Helped me a lot with pokethrough when I first started

lol... When it finally went on sale for half off at CP, I played with it and realized what a fool I was for waiting too long. It's well worth the full price and more! I can never live without it now!
...wolfie

True, if you use the latest DS it's less needed, but with Poser and Carrara, you can't live without it

Well, DS's Morph Follower is good, if you had control of what morphs you want it to load and not load. But it loads too much unneeded morphs and doesn't include quite a few needed morphs (or DS doesn't have enough room to show them). When I use it and want to adjust something, lots of times the morphs aren't there. Also if I forget to unconform the hair before using Morph Follower, most times it freezes DS for a very, very long time. To me, it's more frustrating then worth.
With Morphing Clothes, you have control of what to include and not include and don't have to worry about the hair lol. Also after you use Morphing Clothes on a piece, the morphs you added are always there and you don't have to do anything to it anymore, unless you want to add more morphs.
