Turning a geoshell into clothing (for use with dforce)

Geoshells are a great and easy to use tool to create skin-tight clothing. Is there a way to convert it to regular clothing so that you may use dforce to affect the fitting, etc.?

    Not while keeping it a GeoShell, no, as those are clones of the original shape rather than independent shapes.

    But I wouldn't be particular about keeping it as a geoshell. Couldn't you export it to Hexagon and then re-import it to make it a clothing item? Would there be a way to do this and keep the rigging?

    If it's not possible to export the geoshell then you could export the figure itself, couldn't you? And import back the shape and then turn that into clothing?

    You could just export the base figure as OBJ too - there's no real need to go through a Geometry Shell stage.

    You would lose the offset that way though, wouldn't you? Would that be a problem?

    You could always apply the same in your modeller, or apply a Push Modifier to the base figure before exporting (that's what the Geometry Shell offset is - a Push Modifier applied by default).

    Thank you Richard! I'll give it a try.
