dynamic clothing for genesis 2

bxochoa

Anyone know if there is any dynamic clothing for the genesis 2 models? I have plenty from optitex for V4, etc but I can't find any for the current models.

Also, how do you get dynamic clothing to autofit better? Trying to fit a V4 item to a Genesis 2 model results in weird fitment issues.

Unless you're trying to put the dynamic cloth on a drastically reshaped figure, most of the old V4/M4 dynamics can be draped easily on any of the new Genesis/G2 figures. You just need a slightly different procedure.

Don't try to fit-to your figure; the Generation 4 figure and G2F/G2M figure have very different skeletons, so it won't look good (to put it mildly) if you let Autofit loose on the cloth. Use simple parenting instead, or just move the clothes into place without parenting. These are not conforming clothes, remember, they don't work the same way.

If the figure is posed, simply go through the parts of the clothes (selecting each part in the Scene tab, you can't select dynamic cloth in the Viewport) and pose it to match the figure. No need to be exact, as long as you get it nearly right any pokethrough will go away when you drape.

Set up the clothes collisions and set the texture as normal, then drape. That's all there is to it.

(Well, not quite — if your figure is more than a little bit smaller than the base V4/M4, the cloth won't fit snugly. This can be fixed, but it can get a bit fiddly.)
