A clone, A clone, A clone!!! for Dawn, Dusk & Baby Luna
FairyFantastic
Awesome
hi static and welcome to hive
There's clearly some sort of muddle here. I downloaded the DS files for Dusk, Baby Luna, and Dawn Special Edition. I installed the clones. Then I launched Studio, loaded Baby Luna, and then tried to autofit Dawn and Dusk clothing items to her.
They *all* come in as "unsupported". There is no popup identifying Dawn or Dusk under the entry where you tell Studio who the item was originally created for. I also don't seem to have a Dawn clone for Luna at all. There's one for Dusk, although it doesn't seem to work. And there's a Baby Luna clone supposedly *for* Baby Luna. Which makes no sense at all.
Dawn has a Luna clone and a Dusk clone. Dusk has a Luna clone and a Dawn clone. Luna only seems to have the Dusk clone and one for herself.
With all of the muddle over Luna, I haven't yet tried to see whether the Dusk and Dawn clones work for each other, but there ought to be *something* to indicate who the item was created for in the popup, and there isn't.

Ok couple of things:
1-apologies - something got muddled in the Baby Luna zip.
It's being re-uploaded and I'll post here when it's replaced.
Meanwhile, just delete the following folder:
\data\HiveWire 3D\Baby Luna\Base\Morphs\HiveWire 3D\HWClones\
The new zip file will have the correct Clones
2-The ReadMe file in all three zips explains how to use the Autofit clones:
-When the Autofit dialog comes up, click on "unsupported figure" and choose the figure for whom the clothing was made

*Whew!* Okay, I went back and tried again. Dawn's Dusk clone works. Dusk's Dawn clone works. Dusk's Luna clone works. Didn't try Dawn's Luna clone, but I would expect it to work as well. It seems that it's just the Luna clones which have the problem.
Given that the Dawn clone is missing I wouldn't expect anything to turn up in the popup for her stuff. But nothing turned up for the Dusk items either. So there seems to be something wrong with that one as well.

I think the clones will work in either Dawn SR2 or Dawn SE, since both have the exact same geometry, default shape, joints and weight maps. That's all that matters for clones.
I am not an expert in DS, but that's what it seems to me.
Yeah, gotcha. It is on our list. But we currently have so much to chew on, and we're trying out best.
To my knowledge clones are what allows you to take clothing from one figure and fit it to another figure.
So in other words - if Dusk has a "Dawn" clone, it means he can now wear Dawn clothes.
Dawn having a Dusk clone means she can wear Dusk clothes.
A figure does not get a "clone" of itself, because it's not needed...
