G8 clothes will not autofit to G9 skeleton

vonHobo

I am trying to fit the following outfit onto the G9 Midnight Bones figure which I purchased today.

See attached. The dialog does not offer to fit the Genesis 8 Moonage Outfit to the figure. The dropdown only contains "Unsupported".

Am I doing something wrong, or is it just the skeleton that will not allow autofit for clothes?

see if you can autofit the outfit to regular G9

That worked. Thank you.

So I guess the Midnight Bones figure will not take clothes then. So disappointed.

Hmm someone posted a tutorial on how to create a clone for autofit when G9 came out.  I wonder if that would work for the skeleton also?

If that works, then save the outfit after you autofit it to G9 (save as support asset - figure) and then try to load it on the Midnight Bones figure. It might just be that it has to be a G9 outfit to work on the Midnight Bones figure, so if you save after you autofit, it will be a G8 outfit

It would be simpler to just have a regular G9 figure in the same scene while you're setting things up. Autofit to G9, then right-click the clothing and fit it to the skeleton. Delete G9 when the skeleton is fully dressed.

Thank you. I can't believe how well this worked (see attached). 

Much appreciated!

Another way I have done it with an M4 skeleton converted to a G8F wearable is to fit the skeleton to G8F, fit clothing to G8F, pose G8F and then make her invisible. I suspect that'd work with G9 too. There are a number of ways to do the same thing & it's useful to have options if your preferred method doesn't work in a particular circumstance.

Richard

Thank you Richard. I agree.

You might want to morph the G9 figure to be skinnier, especially the legs so it will look more like a skeleton. The outfit is still using G9's thicker body.

Yes. I was just doing a test, but I see your point. This guy needs to gain some weight.

If you use the "MB fitted with Genises 9" figure instead of the stand alone "MB Skeleton", Genesis 8 clothes autofit nicely.

Oh wow! I was wondering what that figure was for.

I could have saved myself all this trouble if I had just loaded the "fitted" figure.

I looked through the description to see what this was for, but it did not really go into detail. So now I know. 

Thank you!
