Genesis(1,2,3,8) clothes on V4 and M4.

Hello guys, for sometime i was looking a method to use a new generation stuff on old v4 m4 models inside Daz, i used Marvelous Designer to fit clothes, but wanted to do it in Daz, if there some way to do it, please help.

There's no direct way to do it in DS as V4/M4 figures and earlier don't support autofit.

Well, I suppose you could use a figure with a V4 shape morph to morph the mesh to fit V4, then export the morphed clothes as obj, then use the figure setup tools in DS to rig the figure to V4 using parametric rigging, but that would be quite complicated. And from memory you'd have to group it like V4 and separate the various groups in a modelling program before rigging...

If you're willing to use an external program, Evilinnocence's Crossdresser program can convert items from Genesis 1 to various figures including generation 4 figures (the program itself is free, you only have to buy the XD license for the target figures, and they're quite cheap). You need to export the clothes from DS as cr2 first, using cr2 exporter (included in DS). XD doesn't support G2M/F or later figures, but if you have autofit clones to "go back" from G2+ to G1 you can try autofitting clothes for newer figures back to G1, then using XD on the G1 version to go back to V4/M4.

No guarantee on the quality of the result though....

Crossdresser 4 from Evil Innocence will convert Genesis 1 to V4 & M4 but nothing later.

I do the first step ie morph the figurewearing it to the V4 or M4 clone, not shape, (feet are posed streched down and some other differences) then under edit rigging convert the clothes to props

can then convert V4 or M4 to weightmapping and use transfer utility then save clothes as a support asset

it will then in DS fit V4 or M4 not converted to weightmapping too

but only in DAZ studio not Poser
