How can I add morphs to clothing?

[Annika]

I am trying to figure out how to add morphs to clothing. I have a custom full body morph for M4. I do have the M4 plugin.
Do I need to inject all the full body morphs so that I can analyze M4 once? Why is it showing face morphs in the list to analyze? What happens if I accidentally click one of the face morphs and analyze it with the other morphs?
Also do I convert the clothing to the same figure in order to add clothing morphs? Or is there another way to do it?

Are there any good tutorials for Wardrobe Wizard 2? I am not finding them at this site. I have Poser 8 version. I got the download version of Poser, so I have no manual to my knowledge. The help in Poser said look at the manual, but I do not know where to find it.

I would like to use this program to add morphs to my clothing to prevent poke through or being forced to use M4's default morph.

In Poser click the Help menu. Then click "Poser Reference Manual"

In the PDF file that opens the index indicates that the Wardrobe Wizard information is to be found in Chapter 26. (or do a search for "Wardrobe Wizard")

There are 24 pages of information covering every aspect of the application. Not saying that you need it all but if you like detail then the information is there. (See below for a link to a video overview which is what I think you are looking for).

In the Wardrobe Wizard Python Script window click the "Help & Hints" button. This will bring up a small text window telling you where the instructions are (i.e the Poser Reference Manual) but also indicating that on line information and tutorials are available at:-

"Are there any good tutorials for Wardrobe Wizard 2? I am not finding them at this site."

http://www.philc.net/WW2_plugin_overview.php
http://www.philc.net/WW2_FBM.php

Links on the top of the WW page will take you to a copy of the instructions found in the Poser Manual, two on screen video tutorials and a list of FAQ's. Did you not find these or if you did may I ask what aspects of the video tutorials were unclear?

"Do I need to inject all the full body morphs so that I can analyze M4 once?"

You do not need to inject them all, just the ones that your character uses. This can be simplified by setting up your M4 figure with whatever morphs are required to create your custom character, then:-

In the Python Scripts window click Utilities > Morph > Dials to Single Morph

This will convert all current character settings to a single Full Body Morph dial on the character. This is a powerful feature that will take the existing dials and magnets on the figure, and turn it into a single Full Body Morph dial on the BODY of the figure. Let's say you have a character that is based on M4 morphs, and requires 15 morphs to be injected and set. This button will let you turn them all into a single 'new' morph, that doesn't require the dials to be set, or even injected, any more.

Save the figure for future use.

You now just need to analyze that one custom morph.

"Why is it showing face morphs in the list to analyze?"

Because at that point Wardrobe Wizard is listing out all the available morphs

"What happens if I accidentally click one of the face morphs and analyze it with the other morphs?"

Nothing, you just get an extra morph analyze file that you will probably never use.

"Also do I convert the clothing to the same figure in order to add clothing morphs?"

Yes

"Or is there another way to do it?"

Not that I know of.

I hope that this has answered your questions but if further details are required please let me know and we can progress from there.

Thank you.
