Hi,

I hope you can help me.
I have an obj file which should represent a bodysuit (without arms and legs) and would like to use it as clothing for Genesis 3 or 8 female.

How do I do it exactly? Has any of you ever done this? On the Internet, I have only found posts that deal with clothing for other versions, i.e. from Gen3 to Gen8 etc.

Thanks and regards,
Michael

    Generally you can rig a clothing item, by using transfer rigging.

    But you will have to specify the refence which should be G3F or G8F, and in order to work the item has to be modelled towards the base character

    Thank you.

    Is there a manual or video to lern it Available?

    Does the transfer utility work with models like V3 & V4? (not on my computer with DS at the moment or I'd try it)

    The general principles are the same whichever Genesis it is for. The first question is does it fit any of the figures as loaded?

    Hey Richard,

    no it is only a prop and is not fitting to any Figure out of the box.

    Then I would suggest taking it into a modelling program and adjust to fit, before trying to do any rigging.

    The rigging will add bones and weight maps based on the base character and if it doesn't fit it will be a mess.

    I know you can't use Fit to on it, I meant does it line up with the figure you want to use it on?

    Transfer Utility is enough to assign any OBJ to a figure.

    Adjust the pose until the outfit pose matches to the Genesis 8 default pose, export this outfit and import the new OBJ, convert it to G8 again.

    You may need to adjust some surfaces by changing the bones with the Geometry tool (For example the transition hip / legs ).

     

    You can use Smooth Modifier (Collision iterations) and dForce to fit the surface to the figure.

     

    I don't know if it's a good method but I was able to do what I wanted.

    For example: Genesis 8 Males wearing Mass Effect 3 uniform
