Quote - In Daz you can use the smoothing option to sort out poke, through it sometimes explods the article but usually works better than scaleing.

 

Regarding Genesis and clothes, you can only autofit Gen 3 items if you have the Gen 3 clones (ie the shapes sold at Daz).

I haven't had any real problems with the scaling method. The Mech Girl clothing for Aiko 3 loads onto the figure with a few pokethrough issues, but I just go to the Shaping tab, find the area that needs fixing, enter my scale values in the X, Y, & Z sliders, and it's done. I know the values by heart now because I've worked with the Mech Girl package a lot.

I'm in the process of creating my own materials and textures for the Mech Girl suit, although so far I'm still a bit fuzzy on how to use the UV maps for this. I may decide to create my own UV maps. That is something I am in the process of learning to do, at which I am having a modest amount of success.

As for the Gen 3 clones you mentioned, I think I may already have them for some of my generation 3 clothing, A3 and V3. I don't have any clothing for any of the other generation 3 characters because I don't have those characters. I know I have the V4.2 and M4 autofit for Genesis, and while I have a lot of clothing for V4.2, I have very little for M4.

I think I read somewhere online that clothing made for characters that are in the same generation can be used for any of those characters. If this is true, I will try finding clothing made for the other generation 4 male characters to use with M4. If it does not work, at least I'll know that I tried. I'm also going to put in a search for M4 clothing again.

Stay awesome!
