Dragongirl for G8/8.1F

Sky Flash

I want to make a dragongirl with G8F or G8.1F. I cannot find any dragon tail attachments for the female figure. Dragkon and Saurian both have a good tail, but they're both for the male figure. As for the wings, Leathered Wings works, but feels more like a bat than a dragon, I'd prefer something more dragon-like (the tail is more important).

Dragelle's tail could be adapted to G8 without too much trouble. You could also use the Cross-Figure Resource Kit to fit Dragkon or Saurian's tail to G8F, with UV Swap for the textures if needed.

I'm not 100% on Dragelle... Looking at the 'from behind' preview image, the tail looks like it's coming out of the small of the back instead of the base of the spine.

I'll see what I can do with the resource kit, I suppose.

You will find that most tails are positioned there as a solution to be able to still fit clothes to the character. It's one of those decisions where flexibility demands positioning the tail there rather than the tailbone.

 Saurian's isn't that high, and while Dragkon's is higher than Saurian's, it doesn't appear to be quite as high as Dragelle's preview. That's why I mentioned those two in my original post.

Alright, I tried to use the cross-figure kit to get the tail onto the female figure. The tail will fit, but it's "paralyzed" - there's no joints, it can't bend.

Did you autofit it? There's a process to fitting items across genders using this method:

1. Load both male and female figures
2. Load the tail onto the male
3. Set both figures and the geograft to base resolution
4. Dial up the CFRK on the male figure
5. With the tail selected, run the CFRK script
6. Unfit the tail from the male
   1. Go to the 3-lined "hamburger" icon in the scene pane
   2. Go to edit -> Scene Identification
   3. Change "Preferred Base" to G8/8.1F, whichever you plan to use (though you're probably safer just setting it to G8F)
7. Switch to the geometry editor and select the female
8. Select all of the polygons that match where the tail fits on the male
9. Right-click, go to Geometry Assignment -> Set Auto-Hide Faces for Attachment, and select the tail
10. Select only the polygons on the border, where the tail will attach directly
11. Right-click, go to Geometry Assignment -> Set Graft Faces for Attachment, and select the tail
12. Switch back out of the geometry editor, and fit the tail to the female

Okay, I tried that, and the tail will fit fine on G8F if the butt is not adjusted. However, if it is adjusted, the tail will not fit flush on the figure anymore. Example images are included, and I have also attached images of the polygons I selected with the geometry editor, in case I'm going wrong there. G8.1F does not fit flush on the figure even unadjusted, despite using the exact same steps.
