I'm having a problem with the Transfer Utility and genesis 8 characters.

Basically, I can't get the transfer utility to work the way it should be. I set everything up with the transfer utility and then the clothes i made all attach to the head for some reason.

I made custom clothes in Marvelous Designer and want to attach them to my figures. Both G8 male and female. Now there is an abundance of morphs dialed in and both characters are completely custom characters. The clothing was created around these characters for these characters, so there's no way it will fit the base genesis figure. I have read that not using the base G8 figures can mess up the process, but I currently don't have another choice then to use the custom characters.

Now, in Maya, this process takes less than 10 seconds to accomplish. After uploading the character and clothes and lining them up, I simply use Deform---->Wrap and I'm finished. The clothes now move with the character. That's all I'm really trying to accomplish, and I thought the transfer utility was either the best way or the only way, but no luck with it sofar. I could be very wrong with literally everything I'm trying to do, though, because I'm new to daz and still learning how it all works. Thank you for any help I can get trying to figure this one out everyone.

I'm still learning how DS works too.

Did the morphs get successfully added to the Parameters Pane when you brought in the assets (can you see them in the Parameters Pane)? Have you tried the Parameters Pane settings to see if the clothes actually change when you move the sliders? 

 

Sometimes if you temporarily remove the Parent and Fit to settings for the clothing (in the Scenes pane), you can adjust the height (so they hang off the shoulders instead of the head) and then re-parent and re-fit and it will work.

Sometimes increasing the Collision iterations helps, but not always (and not usually if the clothes are hanging on the head). If you disable the parenting and adjust the height and THEN increase the Collision iterations (by 1 or 2 steps, don't raise it too high or it takes a lot of resources), you can get good results with something you've altered or designed yourself.

Set the Source Shape in the Transfer Utility to Use Current.

For me, at least, I find it doesn't really matter whether I choose 'Current' or 'Default'. So, I always leave it on Default.

You just have to import the clothing as a morph with reverse def. 

Just BTW, this was only for demonstration, this isn't my method but, ansering your question this is the best way I've found.
