Conforming Clothing

[Dreamer]

Does any one know of a really good clear step by step with images tutorial on making conforming clothing? Not videos!!
I have had a hunt around on line and found a few but was just wondering if maybe there was a better one out there some where?
Thanks

Bookmarking this thread. All the tutorials I've found are lacking.

 

[Dreamer]

@Janet yeah that is some thing I noticed too

I found two so far.
Conforming Clothing for Poser
and this one...
Also making Conforming Clothing
and one by @Nerd3D Click here for Chucks Tutorial. Chuck is pretty good about everything he does.

I noticed these are ALL old tutorials based on Poser 4 but the rules haven't changed as far I know (AFAIK).

I found others but they assume facts not in knowledge like using abbreviations and not say what those abbreviations stand for. I also found one at DAZ but it's pay to play. I'm assuming you wish a free one. Each tutorial also assume you have the fully designed OBJ. I hope these aren't among the lessons deemed lacking.

Oh and creating for Dawn and Luna and probably Dusk require the clothes follow the arm and leg lines closely as I learned from Glitterati recently.

I am having the devils own time with trying to get the grouping to work, there are a handfull of pollys that no matter what I try Poser's grouping tool just wont select them grr. Can't get much further on if I cant group the damn thing.

 

[Janet]

I've found the grouping tool works best when I'm in the Setup area. You don't have Poser Pro?

 

[Dreamer]

@Janet I do have Poser Pro, I thought you had to group before you went to the setup room?

 

[Janet]

No it groups them to the bones in the fitting room. I just find using the grouping tool works best for me in the set up room.

 

[Dreamer]

ah ok

 

[Janet]

The fitting room also creates all the bones you will need from the figure. It rocks!

IIRC...I think Traci may have done one. I vaguely remember her pointing me that way when I was trying but I could be confused. Maybe PM her and ask?

 

[Dreamer]

Eureka! I got it! Decided to cheat a bit and see how Posers auto group did, well it did just fine for this
Here is Dawn jumping for joy at her new shoes lol

Now to make some proper textures and tidy up the files etc

Way to go Dreamer!

 

[Pendraia]

Congrats Dreamer!

 

[Dreamer]

Thanks

great!!!

I did do one, but it's just the basics: Dropbox - WeightMappingTutorial.pdf

It is, however, one of the few on weight mapping so it might help. I do also discuss your grouping options, though I still highly recommend Auto Group Editor for the task. Poser's Autogrouping tool is still a bit hit or miss sometimes.

 

[Dreamer]

Never ending, now if I try and repoint the cr2 to the proper obj file rather than the one poser makes I have a vanishing shoe. Just the one mind you not both plus I have texture stretch and smoosh gah!
Back to silo to see if I can fix the texture issue but not sure what to do about the vanishing shoe

@Glitterati3D thanks for that I have grabbed it for next time
