How do I use these FBX clothes from the marketplace?

day1patch

Hi everyone, 

I am seeing a couple fbx clothes (like this: https://www.daz3d.com/fbx--studded-jeans-outfit) on the marketplace and I'm not sure how to use them. Before I purchase one can someone please tell me if they work together with G8 characters and how to use them? I can't seem to find a tutorial anywhere. 

 

Thanks in advance

They are modelled, in this case at least, to fit the Genesis 8 Female figure so you would load the figure, import the clothing, and use Edit>Figure>Transfer Utility with the Source set to Genesis 8 Female and the Target to the clothing model to get a basic rig. That might well then require refinement with the weight editing tools, or even the addition of custom moprhs to help with posing, but it is in principle possilbe with the available tools (and possibly a modelling application for morph creation, though dForms can do a lot) but it isn't a one-click process. Given how snug those are I think the process wold be fairly straightforward, but it's not something I've tried.

That appears to be more work to use than usual. 

Why then make it as FBX? Is there some advantage?

For game engine import I imagine 

I only own iClone 6 pipeline but I do believe iC7 pipeline with CC3 can use it too
