Creating Wearable Presets

supernoob

When creating a wearable preset, what does 'Smart Parent Target to Wearable' mean/do/affect?

Thanks

For example, if your wearable is a bicycle, the rider is parented to the bicycle when you load the preset.

Thank you.

So if 'smart-parent' is applied to a wearable preset that is a set of clothing on a specific figure (say Victoria 7), then whenever I load that wearable preset it will automatically load Victoria 7 into the clothes and into my scene?

Would this also embed the morphs that were applied to V7 when the wearable preset was created? Otherwise I can't see the use in this feature as you'd have to do the morphs afterwards. So wouldn't you just be better off loading your character preset and then the wearables preset afterward?

If that's not the case, is it possible to save a combo-preset that includes other presets? Like character, with morphs applied to them, and the wearables on top (an all-in-one preset)?

Whilst looking just now for that answer within Daz's presets, I've noticed that 'smart-parent' is greyed out anyway and seems to want to stay that way. How do I even enable it?

For a wearables preset to work the root of the tree of parented items has to be a figure. The wearables preset is then applied to that figure and al the other items pareted to it and included in the save are loaded.

I don't know what that means. My wearable presets already seem to work ok.
Whenever I've loaded a character followed by a wearable preset, it's attached itself to the character with no problems.

I'm just trying to understand what the smart-parent option is for because the wearable preset seems to work without it.
I'm also trying to understand why the option to smart-parent is greyed out (seemingly always).
And whether there is a preset option that can include multiple other presets at the same time (character + morphs + wearables for example).
