Idea to Add "Toggle Anatomical Autofit" Feature for Clothing

lioncrud

Did a search on this forum for "clothes, anatomical, fit" and it seems like there is yet to be an easy feature developed for genesis male clothing to accomodate fits/bulges to wrap around anatomical elements.  Based on how clothes and auto fit functions are built within Daz, would it be fairly easy to just add a feature that tells G8M clothing to "recognize anatomical elements on G8M?"  Basically somehow pass through the anatomical elements data through the parent G8M it's attached to, and then that data is readable by clothing.  Just seems like current workarounds are kind of a pain / quicksand for faster work flow.

Obviously just an idea and I've only been using Daz for about 4 months now so much to learn.  Also, what is the easiest current workaround for this? Ideally something that does not require me to open up other software outside of Daz...

Do you need the Anatomical Elements attached? If not there are bulge morphs in the Genesis 8 Male Body Morphs, or you could probably make your own with dForms.

Often I can do a decent job by removing anatomical elements (by setting "fit to" to none) and playing with bulge morphs, but it just takes awhile and usually is never just right, especially when dealing with more revealing, thin/skinny garments.  In perfect world the clothes could just read/recognize the anatomical data and autofit like any other body element, though I'm guessing if that were that easy, the feature would be created by now.

You can try adding a Geometry Shell to the figure (Create menu), and a Push Modifier to the clothes (Edit>Figure>Geometry sub-menu), then set the clothes to Collide with the shell (Parameters pane).
