I need more clothing for Grim. He only has the pants he loads with, which limits what I can do with him. Anybody know where I can find such?

Product page suggests loading additional clothing pieces [helmets, belts, etc.] as props.
Another old way for texturing these legacy models was to paint on 'skin clothing.'
Always wear clothes when cleaning windows to avoid any streaking.
Are you looking for something in particular? And will you be using it in DS or Poser?
Yes, I'm looking for a three piece suit that will fit Grim. one like what a showman would wear on stage, with a tophat, shirt, tie, vest, jacket, slacks, and dress shoes; the full emsemble. It should be useable in both Poser and DAZ Studio, as I have both installed, and Grim can be used in both from the same runtime.
By the way, Pendraia, You and I are both members at The Fantasies Attic. There my handle is Agent 0013. If you'd be more comfortable continuing our discussion at The Fantasies Attic, I am good with that. I still want to keep this discussion going here though, as others that are not at our other site may be able to provide good information concerning this subject.
Cheers!
Thanks for your response.
I did not see that on the product page, but I will look again. Even so, I don't know if loading other clothing as props will work for what I want. I want the entire outfits to fit Grim. I especially want a full dress suit, with tophat, shirt, tie, vest, jacket, slacks, and dress shoes. I do have a tophat I can manually fit to almost any figure I have; which is part of a suit like what I described here that is for M3 or M4 (will need to check to see which figure it's for). As for painting on the skin style clothing, I know that method, and while it works for some things, it won't work for what I wish to do with Grim.
Nice way to add some humor. Helps to lighten the mood. Thank you.

Just waking up, for some reason before 6am this morning so it may take a few cups of coffee... suit? Do you have any freebies for m3? There used to be a good one floating around. Wasn't grim based off m3? Give me time to wake up and organise my thoughts and check my runtime for possibilities. DS we can share morphs with and I did have some success with sharing one for k4 with someone after converting to triax. So it's possible I can help if we both have the same suit. I'll message you on fantasies attic when I'm more awake.

Bloody duplicates...
From the product page:
Grim is its own figure as far as clothing goes so one would have to make the clothing, legacy style. I would highly recommend looking for perhaps one of Rawart's figures based on one of the Genesis #s.
Actually I've recently discovered when doing a bodysuit for gruggle monk that if you convert the original figure to triax, create the outfit and use the transfer utility that the garment will actually work on the original cr2. I'm not sure why but it does. So do poses created on the triax figure.
Here's an image of grim with the d3 edwardian suit first image unposed is the figure converted to triax. Second image is the pants fitted to the original cr2.
if you can use the fitting room in Poser, those clothes will work in DAZ studio too as long as the figure wearing the clothes is legacy rigged not Poser weight mapped.
a combination of scaling, dynamic simulation and morph brush helps shape stuff to fit
I don't know much about the fitting room but even sticking with legacy figures. It's possible to create injections for morphs fairly easily in Poser 11. It's just a case of exporting it to an injection and a pmd is created. So it would work in Poser but not ds.
I'm just playing with different suits at this point. I quite like this one and it doesn't require a lot of adjustment. At the moment it's on a triax figure as I haven't saved it yet. M4 Regency and it even has a top hat.
I quite like this one it would make a suitably creepy render for halloween.
I'm not sure if this is what you wanted @Mage 13X13 but if it isn't let me know. I've been enjoying myself playing with this outfit and now have a render in mind for him.
I can package this up relatively quickly either as a cr2inj or morphs that you can add to a converted figure by adding them to the morph folder in the Data section if this is what you wanted.
No shoes as of yet though.
To all that have contributed to this discussion, I thank you.
I'm still interested in making Grim more useful, but I now have created my own character from Genesis, using several morphs I have for Genesis, which includes the GenX AddOn Gen 3 for Genesis, which allows Genesis to be morphed into the Millennium 3 figures. The beauty of this method is that the new figure can wear any clothing that can be worn by Genesis, through the autofit feature. I still have some texture tweaking, and fine tuning of the morphs to do, but at least this character has no limits like Grim. I can use him as he is now, but will not be offering him for others to grab until I get the tweaking done.
I shall keep this discussion open for now, as many of you have been willing to give advice. I have been able to use some of that advice, and I am very thankful for that. If you have any extra advice, please feel free to provide it here.
Cheers!
I see that you have moved on, which is probably for the best, but if I remember correctly Grim was based on M2 not M3. So M2 clothes would probably fit better, if you have any of those lying around. But creating a new figure from something that has more clothing support available is the better option in the long run.
I know that Grim is based on M2. That said, some clothing from other figures can be fitted with the right knowledge of how to do it. Pendraia has succeeded with doing that, by converting the Grim figure to (I think) a Triax Weightmapped version and using other tools to get certain clothing to fit him.
As it stands, I have no other clothing for any of the Millennium 2 figures, as I got into DAZ Studio after they were discontinued in the DAZ Store. Finding 3rd party clothing for M2 and the other Millennium 2 figures has proven to be a bust as well. I did searches on ShareCG, Renderosity, Fantasies Realm Market, and a few other sites to no avail. The Grim figure was a freebie when I got it, having been taken out of whatever vault DAZ uses for the old content. It is now included in a bundle, which was free when I got it at the DAZ Store. Yes it is still available, but try finding any other Millennium 2 product in the store. there is none there. That is why I'm seeking options.
I may have moved on, but only for the sake of immediacy. I still want to make the Grim figure more useful, as the limited nature of what I have for him is ridiculous.
Thanks for your responses.
