I bought this DAZ product “V3 and M3 Shapes for Genesis. http://www.daz3d.com/shop/v3-and-m3-shapes-for-genesis
It loads into the Shaping tab-make sure you select Genesis first then go to shaping tab, find either Male or Female sliders which will also have sliders for M3 and V3. I have had very few problems with the autofit.
It works this way: after you select from Content Library (forget about “Smart Content” at this point, since most V3/M3 doesn’t have the Metadata so it won’t show up in that pane. To get the clothes item to show up you need to know the correct file name, or else just type “dress” or “shirt” and scroll through. I use “boots” for shoes, and “dress-tight” for necklace, and “pants-tight” for belts. Just figure which part of the body is meant by the list and choose the nearest one.
You can also just import the clothes after selecting Genesis. Which ever way you choose, usually a small window pops up and asks what is the legacy form the clothing item was originally made for. Select V3 for example. Then further down the window is a brief selection of clothes types, example dress, and then a smaller side window “loose” or “tight”. Chose and click apply. You will see a little time for the program to fit the item. Most of the time it fits well. But most users notice that shoes will often not work. There is no shoes, only boots and only thigh high to choose. I just fidget and hide the toes which works often enough.
Now, sometimes the little autofit window doesnt come up. BTW it doesnt say it’s autofit. So you have to select the clothing item from Scene tab and then go to Parameters tab and choose “MISC”. You usually will see the button that says “Fit To” and of course, choose Genesis, and follow the same steps as I gave above. Hair sometimes fits better when you unparent it. Then parent again to Genesis before posing.
Now, here’s the really cool thing that Genesis does…after you load the clothes and fit them, you can go to the shaping tab and move the slider down for male M3 and move up for V3, presto—twice the clothing for male, female and yes, kids!
I am just learning the DAZ 4.0, but I am fairly sure it will work the same way in 4.5. edited to say I don’t know about character morphs, I think that requires a different plugin software, maybe called Gen X?
I hope this helps.
