Transfer Utility functions?

winddancer6440

So I made some bikini bottoms for G8 , Parented them to her and used the Transfer utility to fit them and saved as a prop. Everything went as planned , BUT, 

When i apply the clothing item and pose G8 with any leg spread the cloth follows the inner thighs , Not as intended. 

How does one fix this? I have noticed that some clothes react this way and some do not. There has to be a trick , or a step I am missing?

How does on get panties or such Not to follow the legs with and spread?

This is to be expected with the way the Transfer Utility works.

To fix this you would need to correct the Weight Maps manual with the Node Weight Map Brush tool.

Select the pelvis node of the figure in the Scene pane and paint with the brush to add weight to the pelvis. By doing this you substract the weight from the thighs so the bikini bottom dosn't follow the legs movement anymore. Also using the smoothing brush can help fixing things - use it with care somethimes it can make things worse.

I made a few youtube videos showing how to use the Node Weight Map Brush tool. In the posted video tutorial below I'm working with Genesis 2 that got a different weight map system called TriAx where you can directly manipulate the Bulge Maps.

If you are working with the newer generations Genesis 3 and 8 the weight map system had changed to general weight map. There the Bulge Maps got replaced by [JCM] Joint Controlled Morphs. The JCMs that the genesis figures are using will get autgenerated onto the clothing once you pose them with the clothing fitted to. The Weight Maps and the JCM work together to get the bending right. You just need to tweak the JCMs sometimes because the autgenerated ones not always show the best result.

I would say all genesis figure generations and clothing show some distortions in that area if you pose the thighs bejond 45° angle rotation in any direction. You can get third party JCM products for your genesis figures that try to address this not just for better bending thighs.

For example I'm takling about something like this: Bend Control Bundle for Genesis 8 Female(s) and Male(s) - Daz 3D

Here are my youtube videos I hope they can help you some. Ignore the customized interface the tools work the same in any layout you choose.

If you like to customize your interface like I did have a look at my thread here: How to Customize Daz Studio - to speed up Workflow!?
