Crossdresser oddity

Got a bit of a puzzle I am hoping wiser minds might be able to unravel.
I converted an outfit from V3 to Dawn with Xdresser and it did an ok job, just a bit of poke through and shoes a bit hit and miss. No problem I thought, I'll just pull the .obj file fromthe !converted folder in geometrys into a modeling program and fix those little problems. So I did this, being carefull not to add or take away from the mesh just push things about, saved the fixed files out with the same name to the same place, (yes I know not a good idea to over write the files but hey), opened up poser and tried to put the newly fixed outfit on Dawn.
Every thing points to the clothing loading, its there in the list of scene contents and the hierarchy editor but there is nothing showing in the view port, ok so maybe normals got flipped, nope nothing when rendered either.
What the?
Any one got any ideas what happened?
It would be nice if one could take the converted items into a modeler to fine tune things but if this is going to result in a new case of the Emperor's cloths then I'll just have to see what I can do with the morph brush/fitting room. Not a big issue just an odd and slightly annoying one.
Cheers

Maybe save out the obj as a morph target, mod that and apply as a morph to the original within the program?

Instead of changing the whole OBJ file, HaiGan suggest to import the fixed OBJ as Morph target to the original XD OBJ.

I would run it again in XD, and add a FIX Poke value of 0,10. I usually do this. Then you can dial the clothes smaller or in Poser use the Morphtool to make it smaller/tighter.

Sorry I don't follow? Can you brake it down a bit please? My brain is mush right now lol
Click to expand...

It does assume you are using Poser, although there may be an equivalent process in DS.

Load your converted figure.
File - Export - Wavefront OBJ
Single Frame
Uncheck every element except a single body-part that needs adjusting and OK
Uncheck all boxes except As Morph Target (no world transformations) and OK
Save with a relevant file name and location

Open the OBJ in your model editor of choice, and make your changes. If changes will overlap with other body parts, repeat as above and edit all your OBJs together so they match, then save each changed OBJ separately.

Back in Poser, select each body part, use Object - Load Morph Target, browse to the saved correction morph for that body part and give the new morph a name. A new dial with that name will appear and you can dial in your correction. Repeat for each body part.

Or you can try the other correction suggested above, which sounds much quicker!

Thanks both of you :) Xdresser and shoes can be a real pita lol Boots and closed shoes are not so bad but jandles that end up with straps going through toes just wont fly

Edit: Yes I am using Poser, DS and I don't get along very well
