Lyne's Adventures with Poser Dynamics

Since this item of clothing was SO successful in converting a conforming pair of pants to DYNAMIC for Dusk, I'll work up a pictorial tutorial on how I did it!
David 3 clothing (so far) seems pretty suited to converting....

I can either use the boots that come with, with his lower legs/feet invisible, or use our own HW cowboy boots... I have yet to try either converting to dynamic or using cross dresser on the other clothing parts of this set. Cross Dresser may do fine with the cowboy Duster and shirt...

NOTE: I do have to make various buttons and buckles on pants invisible, because they just don't do well in the dynamic process...I tried to constrain the buttons on two pairs of pants so far but they either distorted or flew off.

One major reason I have started to tackle this type of conversion is that so many PANTS/SLACKS, etc. have the mesh in the crotch/top of inner thigh area try to stick together when I used either Cross Dresser or Poser's built in cloth fitting room.

That is a great conversion. I've never had never had any luck with those. I definitely can't wait to see that tutorial.

Progress... I was able to make the D3 Desperado Duster dynamic! I did have to CONSTRAIN the collar/lapel and the cuffs, and was successful in also constraining the buckle closures! yay!! It will need a tiny bit of post, but making progress I'm happy with! Right now, just using the Dusk long sleeve shirt, may see about doing the Desparado shirt...but next most important are GLOVES (now that will be a trick- with two in one 'set'...I'll have to make one invisible, export, bring in and see IF - AND THAT'S A BIG IF- it will work being dynamic! The suspenders, well, not at all sure if they will Cross Dress, or I'll just have to fake it...

I did fake it with the universal boots...had to place and parent them, because there is no morph to make the shaft TALLER to meet the 'breeches' short pants...so Y scaled the boots, and placed...not at all sure if I will use those or fake it with the D3 boots...

@LisaB your texture for the set are GORGEOUS!!!! Look at that stitching!! Your maps really hold up super well!!!

Of course that is the HW hat!

and then things just don't go so well... I spent a LONG time trying to get the best results for the Desperado SHIRT...but not really happy with
either one...still the cross dressed seems better...but why did the collar stretch with the pose!? argh!

@Alisa uh...I think all these posts of my experimenting should be in their own post? One called "Lyne's Adventures with Poser Dynamics" ? And where would it go? in the Meadow or in the Poser software forum? I leave it to you- the IF AND HOW you can help...REALLY appreciate it, Alisa!

Thanks so much, Alisa! :) When I started this, I had no idea I'd go this far with it... :)
I'm busy with a full Dusk and Harry art piece using the things I learned...will be a while before I can put the tut together...it kinda grew in scope too... but stay tuned!

I have been continuing to work on trying out the conversion of conforming to Dynamic... I CROSS-DRESSED the David 3 Country Courtier outfit (used to be at RDNA) now is at DAZ... after not having such good luck with the long coat (like I did with the amazing Duster for D3)...ended up Cross-Dressing the entire outfit...because wonder of wonders, there is NO crotch mesh mess in converting to Dusk with this outfit/mesh!! It came out looking better than dynamic...

I'm still LEARNING more before I create the tutorial...being I have doctor app's and my tax paperwork to do right now...so quite distracted...
