Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Mar 28 8:52 am)



Subject: Crossdresser vs Prefitter-CR2 for La Femme


Daventaki ( ) posted Fri, 05 June 2020 at 12:37 AM · edited Thu, 28 March 2024 at 5:08 AM

I am just getting back into Poser and would like to work with La Femme so I am looking to convert my V4 content to her. Which would you recommend Crossdresser or Prefitter? And does Crossdresser do hair and shoes also? I also seen somewhere that Prefitter was not working with the new 11.3.816?

Prefitter has been used successfully for both hair and closed boots. It may not work well for low or open shoes.

Prefitter is a totally different animal than crossdresser of course. Crossdresser is an independent app that gives you a library item where Prefitter is a morph injection that does the bulk of the fitting work to prepare for the fitting room in Poser. The Prefitter works 'on the fly' and allows you to make your own corrections, include your own FBM's and so on.

Crossdresser also has morph injections to supplement the clothing conversion. Both products have strong points for them. It has a lot to do with how comfortable you are with the fitting room and where you prefer to concentrate your work.

How complicated would this be to get it to convert V4 items to V3, S3, M3, L3 figures?

There are no V3, S3, M3, and L3 presets developed and I wouldn't expect to see any in the future. I inquire about M4 and I was told that there needs to be a rework of the dummy figure to accommodate the mesh. The other generation 3 females, if someone could create a useable FBM that can be transferred to the dummy figure, we might have a chance.

What are the advantages of prefitter as opposed to crossdresser?

Also. On the subject of conversion...

is it feasible to convert Dforce dynamics intended for genesis for use in the cloth room of poser? That is, is it possible to get an .obj from a Dforce item, morph it (using various means) into a reasonable approximation of a particular Poser figure, and drape and fit it onto said Poser figure with reasonable results? In particular loose fitting items. I need a well made dynamic Nun's habit and the only one that I've seen is Dforce.

...maybe it would be easier to model a Nun's habit and cowl from scratch for use in the cloth room? Dynamics doesn't require rigging and faffing about with JCMs, other than fit and adjustment morphs...

IIRC, EvilInnocence had a nun's habit for Dawn. I don't remember if it was a free item.

Just checked, nun's veil for Dawn and V4, not free.

I saw that. The cowl part looks a little strange. Guess it could be fixed with morphs. And I suppose a flowy dynamic robe, to finish it off. I'll have a look around at medieval style dynamic robes... anyway, thanks hborre. Sorry for the slight derail.

Edit. Suggestion for a niche product for La Femme. Dynamic Nun's Habit and Cowl.

I did try to develop a similar prefitter with V3 geometry. It had some fitting issues and I abandoned that branch because I was not sure just how much demand there would be to convert V3 items. I can provide it when you want. No guarantee of good result though.

I tried to do the male side with LHomme as a target but I got stuck on the over-developed musculature of LHomme. These 'Popeye the Sailior' forearms showed up very ugly in my test items. Also the sides of the chest show a concave shape which shows up ugly. I concluded I need to restart from scratch with a much more 'loose fit' donor mesh shape.

Hmm I know next to nothing about the fitting room, I have been away from Poser for a very long time and know nothing about FBM's and the such.

Thank's everyone for the input, I will have to think about it some more...

I am not able to download CrossDresser 4.0 from the website. Is it still available?

That is weird, I just tried and indeed, nothing happens. I wonder what happened--it's hard to sell licenses here if the program itself is no longer available?

I just emailed EvilInnocense through their contact link.  Hopefully, someone will respond within a reasonable time.  Remember, for many, this is Easter weekend.

I just downloaded the program.  However it is flagged as unsafe and you have to click several warnings to get it download.

I am trying on my new computer, however I have never had any luck getting crossdresser to work in the past.

Of course it is and I've been doing it for some time.  I used to use D3D's dsf Tools but lately I've found the DUF Prop Converter for Poser much easier and faster.  In fact, we even had a Poser Pulse Challenge and several members showed their results. 

Here are some of my conversions - mainly from G8F to La Femme but there's one fitted to L'Homme as well.

Once the script converts the .duf to a .pp2 all you need to do is some minor resizing and I usually fit it using the Morph Tool although I suppose the fitting room could also be used - I just never got the hang of all the details needed to retain certain shapes without overshrinking so I prefer working with the Morph Tool.   Parent it and save it.  I now have a Runtime where I put all the Daz products I buy to convert so I can also link it to Poser and save the textured items as .mc6 files as well if I plan to use them regularly.

Hi Kalypso.

I appreciate your response about converting DForce to Poser dynamic, (yes, I'm also EldritchCellar, who is banned lol)... actually I've been using DS itself to export as obj for use in Poser, including static Genesis 8 set up, clothed, and posed in DS and used as a prop in Poser. I also have used D3d's toolbox app. Generally I import into Poser, fit approximately, and then make final fitting adjustments in Blender or Mudbox, depending on the tools needed. Blender mostly for its proportional fall off feature with the modeling tools. Preview render of a recent conversion of DForce Nun outfit fit to Nova Poser figure and simmed as Dynamic...

As a more on topic note, I've had some pretty good results using crossdresser converting V4/V3 "skankwear" to La Femme, who, oddly, lacks a catalogue of more fetish type get ups... although, as I discovered, EvilInnocense doesn't seem to place much priority on responding to product query messages on the site.

'...some pretty good results using crossdresser converting V4/V3 "skankwear" to La Femme...'

Thank you, that's useful. One corner of my sprawling archive is crammed with weird / wild / wonderful & 'cosplay' V3/V4 stuff.

Did you get to install?  Because like I said it is flagged as unsafe and you really need to keep selecting the semi-hidden options to bypass the security and get the program to install.  Once installed it does work.  I even managed to get it to convert an item from one figure to another.  In the past the program would run, but not create a new object file.

How does crossdresser work for long skirts? Wardrobe wizard, you ended up with a couple of useless control bones.

While I've never converted a long skirt with CrossDresser the pdf help documentation states that it cannot transfer non standard bones such as body handles.

It also states you can add basic skirt handles for posing... here's the synopsis of features etc...

As it stands now my "upgrade" to W10 pro was a giant techno fail wiped out Crossdresser completely. It won't run from where it was installed and won't reinstall either Failed again no joy in Jimville the more time I lose to researching alternatives embodies the essence of futility what a waste I wanted a creative outlet not this obstacle course of frustration Oh joy Ms Windows 11 more bloat ware less operating system and intrusive spyware no  value just expense Giant time suck no enjoyment I did not get into this to be spied on when I started into PC non ownership serfdom. I pay for parts and don't own any of the the software to make them do any of the stuff that make the parts usefulmaybe I should start sorting and collecting spam this awareness stuff sucks
