    Set up the jewelry as smart props? They will have to be manually scaled for each character but they'll keep their shape.

    thanks for the reply, but i dont understand how we set things as smart props do you mean to say as wearable preset or what exactly.
    could you please elucidate the procedure

    Do not rig with transfer utility.

    Import the obj.

    Right-click and choose change parent. Choose Genesis' neck. (Or wrist, if bracelet, or a finger joint, if a ring, etc.)

    File--save as--asset--figure/prop asset.

    Make sure smart parent is checked.

    Now it will save as a smartprop. You would need to do morphs to move it around, but you would have to do that anyway if you want it to flop about.

    thank you for the prompt reply,thank you again.

    i want to know more though,
    1.is there a way to rig right and left in one object i.e right bracelet and left bracelet as one attachment or one file.
    2.i believe you are the one with rigging plugin ,i have it and actually i want to rig a pant like attire which has a sash like thing hanging between the legs from the crotch but when i use transfer utility the hanging cloth spreads and attains a weird geometry on pose application. could you please offer a solution

    1. Not as a smartprop, no.

    2. That is going to require custom bones in the loincloth. Auto-rigging is probably never going to work properly.
