birdyfly Original Poster Forum Resident Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 819 Thanks: 153 in 9 Posts 4 Achievements View My Journal	Hi, I have finally learned how to make morphs for clothing, but I am having a lot of issues with the fitness morph. This is what I see in TSR Workshop and I do not know how to fix it since we do not get the 100% thin; 100% fit, and 0% thin; 100% fit morphs exported. Here is what it looks like: 100% fit; 50% fat 100% fit; 0% fat 100% fit; 100% fat Does anyone now what to do to fix this while use TSR Workshop? Thank you in advance. Screenshots

The combination of fat and fit always is a problem, same thing with Cmars morphmaker. The Bgeo data is diffrent on the game files when combining fit and fat shapes. One of the reasons can be that your mesh isn't ''closed''? I usually scale them a bit bigger on the problem area's

Is there an easier way to do this? I'm still really new at making morphs.

It doesn't matter what it looks like since it won't show. Other than that, you just have to fiddle with it since two morphs that each move vertices a little in the same directions can combine to move the vertices a lot more than you want. I can see what looks like some problems with your morphs, too - the thin morph doesn't seem to be making the sleeves smaller and is maybe pulling in the waist too much, for instance, and the fit and maybe fat morphs don't seem to be making the back of the sweater get bigger in the butt.

It only seems to be the fitness slider again. I am not sure why it's doing this since I tried to line up the vertexes with one another.

Identical numbered vertice on both your mesh and the one underneath give deformations. If you use Morphmaker you choose another range of vertex id's so both meshes wont conflict. If i would have to make something like this i would combine the 2 meshes into one, exept that i wont regroup them into one mesh. The skin parts i load in one meshgroup, the rest in the 2nd meshgroup.

With Morphmaker, do I need to have to have the same number of vertexes like I do with TSR Workshop? Or would I be able to delete vertexes?

yes, they all need to be duplicates of eachother.
Wat TSRW does automaticly when importing new meshes(renumbering the vertice) you have to do yourself using morphmaker.
