Hi All,
I've been trying to find a way for people to use my morphs for clothing conversions I've done. At this point it is DS only, but once I have this process worked out I'll see what can be done for Poser.
Lorraine has been helping and she has successfully managed to use two of the morphs I've done. One is the V4 MFD from Daz and the other is a dress for K4 from Bobby. The only thing I will be providing beside the tutorial is a morph file from DS so it's all totally legal as we're allowed to share morphs we have created.
If you do decide to attempt this the only restriction on using these files is that you do not share the files but point people to this thread instead and please provide feedback. Especially if you get stuck...
Here's the process I provided to Lorraine.
Load Dawn
Load the B2550Dress by Bobbie25 from the Poser content/Figures/Bobbie25/B25MilKids4Clothing
Convert the dress by selecting it in the scene tab. Right click on the tab name and go to Edit/Rigging/Convert Figure to Weight Mapping
A dialogue box will pop up click ok.
At this point we will try saving the outfit to see if it will then work with my saved morph file. By going to File/Save as/Support Asset/Figure Prop Assets
Do not worry at this point that it doesn't fit to Dawn as we're going to try and fix that at a later point.
Now...I think will need to use the same path that I've used for it to have any hope of working.
This part highlighted in green Lorraine said she didn't need to rename the file.
So save it to People/Dawn/Clothing/Pendraia/Conversions/B2550Dress.
Call it B2550DressDawnfit click save...this will load a new dialogue box.
Now the tricky bit is to get it to create an identical data folder in your DS runtime.
So at the top of this box there is a box for Vendor Name type in Pendraia Fae needs to be exactly the same as I've typed it.
Leave the Product name as Product or type it in if it doesn't pop up automatically.
The item name should be B2550DressDawnFit.
For the moment don't worry about the other boxes just click okay.
Now I need you to go into your data folder and check for Pendraia Fae/Product/B2550DressDawnfit.
There should be a dsf file that will be called something like B25K450Dress_86187.dsf
Your number will probably be different as DS generates the numbers.
Rename your file to match the file name I've listed above.
Pop the Pendraia Fae folder in the Data folder under Morphs.
Pendraia Fae/Product/B2550DressDawnfit/Morphs
Load the file you saved and dial in the Dawnfix morph (it may load already dialed and fit it to Dawn. Use Dvl_Lvd's Clean Gown template. At this point we might need to resave it...unknown territory I'm afraid...
Now Lorraine did have a problem with using autofit but using this process was able to fix it. So when you have the item on Dawn and need to rig it to her use the following:
Click on the transfer utility. Select dawn for the source figure in the target change it to current. Choose the gown projection template.
Try leaving the settings at default and try hit okay.
Some notes from Lorraine:
OK. Firstly, you can put the item anywhere you want. Mine is in: !!!People/!!Diva/Clothing/Pens Conversions. Did not have to rename file in Pendraia Fae data folder. Transfer Utility, I used current for both, no reverse source. Smoothing 10, collision default. Works!!!!!
SubD not optional after all, makes the sleeve much better. I have it on 1.
Edited to add: Also if bending the elbows on the MFD remove the jcm elbow to by turning it to zero otherwise you will end up with baggy elbows.
