Movement morphs in clothing

Having cut my teeth on D|S with the V3/M3, V4/M4 series, I have gotten used to mutliple posing handles for clothing, especially skirts. Usually there were 2 or 3 handles to adjust the skirt to the pose. Recently I bought an outfit, Monika Dress for G3f by PandyGirl that came with a wide range of presets to match third-party pose sets (none of which I own). I can only imagine the degree of effort it took to build 20+ pose presents for the dress, so I'm not accusing PandyGirl of being lazy, however, being old school, I pose my own figures, sometimes off of a preset pose to start. The Monika dress has no handles or sliders to make adjustments to the skirt. 

My point: Please, vendors, whether you create presets for other vendors' pose sets or not, please put posing handles or sliders in the model as well. In this case, I shall have to avoid PandyGirl's products as they are useless to me unless my character remains in the T position.

    While I agree with you in preferring handles before morphs, and morphs that can be combined to match (somewhat) any pose to morphs for a single pose, it seems that a lot of purchasers have the reverse order of preferences.

    That's too bad. I mourn the not-so-slow "evolution". I believe this is, as referred to in another thread, the "ten-click render" Select character > select clothing > select pose > select background (optional) > select light preset > click Render. Congratulations, you now have created the same thing as all other users, Start Again? /Sarc

    Nevermind

    Etrigan, having a system which automatically makes a perfect fit of a clothing item to your specific character in every pose would be a great thing if it worked. However even so, as soon as you start morphing your character, this tends to fail. In such cases and in cases where you want something slightly different to give a specific effect or look, then the handles/sliders you spoke of are essential. I too wish PA's would build these into their clothing figures as standard to allow for greater flexibility of their product. Surely this is in their own advantage as it would be likely to increase their sales.

    We are in agreement on that point. I have to say that whether I use a pose preset or not, none of my finished images have a pose preset used. Even ancilliary characters have some slight change. That said, it's typically skirts that are my undoing.
