Invisible adjustment morphs

SandmanGFX

Hello :-)

Does anyone know how you would have a morph not alter the geometry of the model itself (i.e. Genesis) but instead only act as information for clothing items to conform to the "invisible" changes in Genesis's geometry.

Most clothing items have adjustment morphs for specific shapes, but therefore are limited to these shapes only, for excellent results. What I'm trying to achieve is, as an example, say you have a custom breast size morph. A shirt or dress will usually have an unnatural looking indentation at the center of the chest. Now if you had such an "invisible" morph pushing this area out it should look more natural on any shirt/dress/etc.

I'd be happy if someone could tell me how to load/save such a morph, or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!

Make two morphs, one of which reverses the effect of the other (I haven't tested this, but I think if you loaded the unmodified shape while the fix morph was set and selected reverse Deformations that would work). Set positive morph to Auto Follow, but not the inverse morph, then create an ERC link from the positive morph to the inverse. That way when you apply the positive morph Genesis will not change but the clothes will. That's how the Cleavage Correction morphs do their stuff.

Alright, thanks! I haven't created ERC links before, but it seems quite straight forward. I should be able to figure it out from here.

This sounds exactly like what the Clothing Cleavage Modifier does.

Basically, yes. I thought it would make sense when creating any morph to bear in mind how the clothing is going to behave.
Something like this doesn't necessarily have to be limited to the chest area.
