Uban Fae mystery instructions
I bought the Urban Fae outfit. I cannot seem to get it to actually apply to any figure. It blinks and flashes, but never appears in the scene or on the character. The instructions to first apply the item and then apply the FMB INJ whatever . . . which of course is not in the same folder as the rest of it . . .
Can some one please tell me what I am doing wrong?
. . . I love this program, but there are times when it DRIVES ME NUTS. Buy a product and spend hours trying to get something as simple as clothing on to a figure.

First ensure you're using the right shortcuts. There are material presets for the Urban Fae set which need to be applied to the outfit and won't have any effect when used alone. You didn't say what software you were using, but for both Daz Studio's Content Library and Poser's Libraries, clothing can be found under the Figures folder as it requires character rigging.
The Pose folder should hold things like injection morphs (the shaping) as well as additional material sets and, of course, any poses. If you're still having troubles, could you post a screenshot of the Library folder you're using to try and place the item into the scene so that we can advise you?
I am using DS4.5. I finally figured out how to get the clothing on, but they don't conform to any character morphs. and though the clothing was made for v4, and all the pics prvided with the product don't show it, her ugly purplr\e bra shows above the hem of the neckline. it looks ridiculous. I don't know how to fix it.
Yea, I could post pics and try to get this fixed. I am soooo frustrated with this program. I've found the only thing that ever seems to work remotely as advertised is smart content. The rest i spend hours trying to find in the directory, or screwing around with for hours trying to get it to look halfway decent. If I could model with a damn I'd go to carrara and never look back.
Unfortunately, older figures like V4, M4 and K4 don't have the same weight mapping technology as Genesis, so clothing won't automatically fit to the character. Usually there are fitting morphs supplied which can handle that, so it's often a case of looking through the garments morph settings and adjusting them to match. Older hairstyles are often prop-based and can be manually shaped and parented to the head to save headaches.
In short it's not the software, it's the content.
Smart Content is just content with metadata. Most of the more recent products come with the metadata installers, so they will show up in Smart Content, but it's possible to add for older content as well. One of the reasons you're probably finding they work so well is because they're designed to only appear when a compatible object in the scene is selected. All of the purchased Genesis clothing and accessories to my knowledge come with metadata if bought from the Daz store. Renderosity generally doesn't supply this, possibly due to the difficulty in packaging it.
The purple bikini is actually painted on to the default skin that V4 comes with. TO remove it you need to give V4 a different skin.
There is a skin setting in the installed options that gives her a skin that doesn't have the purplr bikini. I think it is called "All Natural gn" as compared to "All natural BKN"
I was close, my dyslexic fingers reversed a couple of letters is all :roll: I am not dyslexic, just my typing fingers are :coolsmirk: I am fluent in typoese
I understand what you are saying. I am trying to make a heavy-set woman, curvy, lots of hip and breast. There seems a not-too-fine line with V4 as to how far you can push clothing made for her. I'm actually thrilled with the figure itself, got her to look quite nice, but the clothing, the clothing . . . it seems I can only enlarge the clothing in certain ways to certain extents before it just starts to look like a bag around her torso, rather than cloth nicely falling over her figure.
I think, for this picture, I am going to have to move to Genesis and see if I can find some affordable clothing to try this again.
. . as far as the software, what I'm saying is that if I could model this clothing, I would.
IF you check the product page you will see the list of built in morphs which this clothing item supports. It is quite a lot, so you should be able to get close to what you want by experimenting.
I am not saying it will be easy, but it should be doable.
If you morph your V4 using the supported morphs and then use "Fit To" to conform the clothing it should pick up the morphs.
This is the figure. I bought this clothing specifically because of it's long list of morphs, but the top for Urban Fae cannot be made to look right on her (and, I'm willing to bet, not much else for V4 could be made to look right either). I've removed all the morphs applied to the figure that are not on the list. I've tweaked this thing for hours. I'm here to tell you this clothing cannot be made to look right on this figure without wholesale remodeling of it.
. . look, I'm not trying to argue here. It just seems that anything outside of the Victoria's Secret model type is difficult to clothe and have look good. It is frustrating.
Right-click on the figure and from the menu select Transfer Active Morphs.
