Easy way to fit Michael 4 clothing to Genesis2 Females?

Hi.

I'm looking for a bit of advice on putting Michael 4 clothing on a Genesis 2 Female.

One example could be this:

Using the "Michael 4 for Genesis 2 Male" stuff, I can get this on the Genesis 2 Males (http://www.daz3d.com/michael-4-for-genesis-2-male)

Is there any way to get this to fit a Genesis 2 Female?

I take it you have tried using the supplied clone via Autofit, to fit M4 clothing to G2F? Is there massive poke through or the fitting doesn't work very well?

The other way that springs to mind, would be to Autofit to Genesis first, Save As > Support Asset, then Autofit that item to Genesis 2 Female. I don't know if that will work any better.

To fit a Female G2 it will be Auto Fit G1 save as asset. Then Auto fit to G2F unless you have all the clones and have them set up properly that is the only way I know to put M4 clothing on G2F.

I think Jaderails suggestion is the best one. That basically works for textures too as far as I've seen. I think there's enough figures floating around that this topic could use it's own thread.

Thanks for the tip.

Could you perhaps describe it a bit more in depth?

There are multiple options under "Save As -> Support Asset". Which one do I use?
I assume I will need to add the clothing piece to a scene with a G2F, apply the asset, and then autofit to the character.
How do I do that?

I did some quick googling for this yesterday, but came up short. Anyways, thanks for you help :-)

Step 1: Load the standard Genesis
Step 2: Auto fit the M4 clothing set with the best setting you can find. More than one try helps some times.
Step 3: With the clothing now Autofitted open the Scene tab
Step 4: Select only the clothing on Genesis multi select or single your choice
Step 5: Save As>Support Asset>Prop Figure Asset, enter a New name and Save IN the DAZ Studio content folder, Presets is default.
Step 6: If more than one item of clothing save each to same place.

To G2F

Load G2F Base figure Autofit Assests you just Saved.
Step 7: Now save them Again as G2F version. You should be done.

Remember Deleting items and then Trying different Fits in Auto fit will help as you try to AutoFit. One should work well.

It's a cumbersome workaround, but it does work. Thanks for sharing. It's much appreciated. I'll definitely be using this method a great deal for my next project. I wish they would simply release an auto converter for Michael 4 to Genesis 2 Females though.
