I missed the push feature in the update notes, but that sounds like a very handy feature. I might just install 4.5 now….

ONLY if you have no important plugins, like Reality, GenX etc installed. 4.5RC1 is not compatible with those (I’ve seen a reassurance that updates come for 4.5 when it is stable and not a release candidate). I did not have anything important, so I installed. Just so that you know, and are warned of this fact.

Appreciate the warning but I already knew about the plugins.

I do use Reality, but I’m not likely to have much time to play with it in the next month or so, which seems like a good time to play with the new RC.

Noob question but I figure its relevant, how do I access auto fit tool in Daz 4.0?  I used to love the morph to fit in Daz 3 Advanced, I tried the transfer active morphs but it didnt fix any of the poke thru. Im trying this on V4 outfit by the way on a V4(the morphs I dialed in on V4 arent on the outfit).

Auto Fit won’t help with fitting clothes to the figure they were made for. Transfer Active Morphs should work, but if it isn’t you could try adding a smoothing modifier to the item (Edit>Figure menu) and then setting V4 as the collision target in the Parameters pane.

I don’t know if this was mentioned yet, because I didn’t read the whole thread, but…

if you want stuff for nearMe or some other non-supported figure, you can use CrossDresser to convert to a Gen 4 figure, then run the converted piece through Autofit. It will still botch some stuff, but alot of my stuff works this way.

Is there a way to use the autofit feature on older clothing? For the M/V/A/H3 generation? What about nearme?

If you buy the Gen3 iconic shapes you’ll get the autofit clones for Gen3 figures.

Here’s the link to the Gen3 iconic shapes bundle: http://www.daz3d.com/shop/gen-3-iconic-shapes-for-genesis

Nearme doesn’t have an autofit clone AFAIK, so you’d need to convert her clothes to one of the supported figures first with another conversion application.

Hi Leana

I got the Gen3 shapes for Genesis,  how do I use the special auto fit for G3 clothing?  Thank you

Once you’ve installed the Gen 3 Shapes, you’ll have the Gen 3 characters as options in the Autofit dialog.  When Gen 3 clothing is conformed to Genesis the dialog pops up, and you just pick the appropriate figure and garment type.

Thank you for your prompt response!

I tried it with the MechGirl for A3 that comes by default on DAZ on V5 and it worked fine, well it looks a bit weird on the boobs , but anyway

Then I tried with the Nyoko hair on V5 and it didnt work,  it never shows up the window asking what that figure that item was designed for

Then I converted the hair mesh it to SubD , didnt fit
I tried the transfer tool, didnt work either

Is there a trick/procedure to fit the hair from G3 into Genesis?

Nyoko hair is a prop hair, not conforming, so there’s nothing to Fit.  Put the hair in place, translate and scale to get an approximate fit, parent to head, then use smoothing to get rid of any poke-through.

In 4.5 Auto-Fit retains morphs.  4.5 also has MANY new features.

Really?

*Goes on Studio*

Awesome! I never noticed that!

Yeah, I was literally-literally-literally squealing with joy when I realized that autofit had not destroyed the morphs but kept them!
