Something to add FBMFreja8 (and Freja8Bulk) morphs to clothes

DavidGB

Something like 'SY Clothing Morpher for Genesis 8 Female' but specifically to add FBMFreja8 (and Freja8Bulk) mortphs to clothes, or some fixes like the nes in 'Fit Control' buut which address the clothing Freja8 issues.

OK, I know I've got zero chance of getting it, but I want a good moan at various PAs. I've got a G8.1F character - for a rendered story who will need assorted different clothes - who is a combination of various morphs, but at the base uses Freja8 (with the Freja8 Bulk). Trying to dress her for a scene in which she needs to be wearing a sports bra, I spent ALL of yesterday gong through something like 20 different sports bras by various PAs, mostly from DAZ, trying to get ONE to fit properly. OK, some do not have PA provided morphs for any of the DAZ G8F/G8.1F characters, but many have some, some have a LOT, including a variety of DAZ characters from skinny to very curvy - but NOT ONE has a provided Freja8 morph. I mean, OK, you're making some floaty chiffon summer graden party dress, Freja8 isn't the msot obvious character to service (though that's a bit playing to stereotypes). But A SPORTS BRA! She is the one DAZ G8F characetr who is actually built like an actual professional athlete in many sports, and there's NOT ONE sports bra that fits her, while there are many that fit characters who've clearly never seen the inside of a gym. FFS.

And before you say autofit, autofit screws up with EVERY SINGLE ONE. With her body shape below the breasts, what autofit does is turn what ought to be a straight breast band below the breasts into a wave like a curved M: it goes up below the outside of one breast, then curves way back down to the centreline/sternum, then curves back up to the outside of the other breast, then back down round the side - AND it stretches and shrinks the thickness of the band too on itsw ay round in an utterly not-real-world way. On every single G8F sports bra. Freja8 is the one DAZ character that REALLY needs a custom provided morph in the clothes, but no - no clothes at all. Was a time I'd have fixed it fairly trivially with DFormers, but I find that  in the long gap I was away, DFormers have been completely ruined. Used to be able to create them fixed to and centred on a body part of the clothign or whatever and easily select the affected zone on the figure wherever it was and in whatever position. Now the DFormer just deals wiht the whole figure mesh, and appears to only work on the DEFAULT mesh in teh default location and position, for heavens sake. Trying to waft and scale the sphere around in empty air guessing where it needs to be and hoe scaled and rotated to have the vertices I want affected on the actual morphed figure and in the psoition it's in is HOPELESS. How to ruin what used to ne a great tool, guys.

And  'SY Clothing Morpher for Genesis 8 Female ' includes an extended list of character morphs, but, of course NOT Freja8. And Fit Control helps - a little, like shoving up the sternum area, but has no morphs to bring the area on the outside fo the breasts down and undistort them.

Aaaaargh.

I'm just about to buy a sports bra (and shorts) from another store, because while it also doesn't have a Freja8 morph, something about ti makes it more amenable to correction with Fit Control - not perfect but just about useable unlike ALL the sports bras here.

You know, was a time you might assume an interest in portraying reasonably husky, muscualr women was a very minority taste. Since the 'democritisation' of these things with e.g. OnlyFans etc, you really can't argue that any more. Minority, yes, but not that small a minority - several of the very top OnlyFans models in terms of numbers of memberships and sales are female bodybuilders, revealing a much greater interest in athletic/muscular female physiques than might previously have been assumed; adn there's a lot of muscular female art on DeviantArt. Maybe DAZ belatedly noticed, and that's why Freja9 was one of the first characters released for Geneis 9 and why i notice many Genesis 9 clothing products DO contain Freja9 morphs from the creators. Doesn't halp me with Freja8, though, and while I toyed with re-creating my character with Genesis 9, I had variosu reasons to stick with 8.

dForms have always worked on the base shape and pose, at least for Genesis and I thoughtfor Poser figures too - it has been a long-running complaint. Using a weightmap instead of the influence sphere avoids the issue, as well as giving far more control - that is now an option when creating a new dForm.
