    Dynamic Clothing Control is a plug-in - it has to go in the DS application folder, in the plug-ins sub-folder, and it has to disable the basic version. I would strongly advise against trying to do it manually.

    That's probably Poser dynamic clothing - you may find it works with dForce, if you apply a dForce Modifier : Dynamic Surface to it from Edit>Object>Geometry. You could also, if it lines up with the Genesis figure you want to use it on in the zero pose, use Edit>Object>Transfer Ultity, set the Source to the figure and the Target to the OBJ, and click Accept to get basic rigging. Those are not mutually exclusive.

    Transfer utility is for weightmapped figures. V4 and earlier figures are not weightmapped, they use parametric rigging. So you can't use transfer utility to rig items for V4, you need to use the figure setup tools.

    is that on the old daz or daz 4.12 where do you find it

    What you need is the Figure Setup pane - theer should be quite a few guides to using it, but unlike the Transfer Utility it requires a fair bit of set up. As with the TU the mesh needs to match the base figure shape, and unlike the TU it needs to be split up into groups that match the bones of the figure (and obey the Poser grouping rules - each group may touch only one parent group and its own child groups, not others, which can require fiddling at crotch and arm-pits). Once you have the OBJ correct you import the Victoria 4 figure into the Relationships area of the pane, the OBJ into the groups area, then drag the OBJ across into relationships, delete unneeded bones, chnage the name, and create a new figure. Then you will almost certainly need to use the Joint Editor to adjust the joint paramaters to make sure they are affecting only the desired areas (the legacy rigging doesn't use weight maps but a series of pre-defined guides that determine whicha reas ar affected by the joint, which are immune, and which ar transitional). Legacy rigging is, in most respects, less flaexible than weight mapping and there are quite a few things that it really can't do.

    Legacy, or parametric, rigging is generally harder to do than weight-mapped.
