@Richard Yan well I wouldn't keep the breasts the same size. I do know there are other ways to do this and I should tinker with them more to be more proficient, but part of my personality is to do things outside the box based on the knowledge and ingenuity that I already have. I know some other methods might even be easier, but not as satisfying to myself if I just followed someone else's direction rather than forging my own path unassisted.
I have to try it yet but one thing I want to try is: I really like pointed breasts but every time I make them I end up with poke thru. I don't want to smooth it because I want more of a crisp point to the cloth. I think if I used the invisible figure I can get as much point as the cloth will alow, regardless to the visible breast.
@eelgoo I think I purchased fit control a couple years ago from Daz but never used it. Even so my experiment was on G9 and I don't think they have gotten around to updating that program to G9 yet. I think depending on what I want, the myriads of body morphs may give greater options for certain situations.
Thanks for the detailed addition information @queensknight . I learned a valuable lesson today regarding bad zip files. I unintentionally uploaded a rar file containing a DIM install file, which seemed to open but I never extracted it. I found out after uploading it that the file was corrupt. I thought all was lost but realized that winrar has an option to repair that zip file it was holding. I took the repaired file and it installed in DIM with no issues and reuploaded it so that those who put points toward it could get what they paid for. I felt really bad that I did not check it first but am happy that everything is good now.
@Gts6 Yeah, I've seen that too. It's certainly a struggle that unfortunately makes things stressful because you don't want to resort to manually installing it. It's a little bit like an escape room game when it happens, you try every option until you find the right one. There is also another option especially for non-daz products. Content package assistant can also be a workaround. I found it here and you can make your own install files, of course it will not have the original naming but at least you can install and uninstall it.
@wallyburger You can put all the install files you want along with pictures into another zip or rar file as long as when you extract them the main zip file used by DIM is clean, meaning it has the correct name and it only holds a content folder with manifest and supplement files in the root directory. About the spaces in the name, I don't know if there is really a rule or not but DIM knows if it is supposed to have spaces or not and I have found multiple times that I deleted the spaces in the IM zip file in order to get it to work. If you look at other files you will also notice that it has a certain convention it follows. IM followed by 3 zero's I and the product number then -01 for single file zips and number follows if there are others such as -02 ect for large items. then an underscore and the filename which needs to be what DIM expects. This I found by experimentation and I am by no means an expert but I have fixed many names that were missing or wrong with success.
I don't have any answers for you Mel but I have questions as well that could turn out to be of interest for both of us if answered. I never used the programs before but Reallusion has tutorials that seem like they would help a lot. However I can't get either of those programs to work. CC4 opens fine but using the same exact procedure as shown in the tutorial,trying to adjust the figure does nothing. The iclone 8.2 just installed cannot be used unless I find a way to dismiss the content managers insistence to connect and sync content which I can't do. I'm a bit frustrated with it and while it seems a bit overwhelming, I'm sure that with watching tutorials and practice anyone with the will can learn it as long as the program functions as it should.
