This Daz3D Autofit Tutorial shows you how to use clothes of an older genesis generation on newer one. We also cover how to handle the Poke Through issue. In this tutorial we will review the Daz AutoFit add-on. This tool was firstly designed to convert wardrobe items from Daz Generation 4 characters to be used with the Genesis, Genesis 2 Male, and Genesis 2 Female figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plug-in comes bundled with Daz and fortunately, there is nothing extra that needs to be downloaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are new to Daz, this might sound a little old. To tell the truth, you are right. Autofit was released many years ago. Nonetheless, great wearable items are available for purchase in the Daz marketplace and we want to make sure you can still take advantage of those, no matter the generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the Genesis Generations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we move to the core of the article, I will share with you a very useful chart with all Daz generations and genesis releases. It is pretty common, especially for those new to Daz (Don\u2019t worry, we got you covered) to have a hard time identifying generations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Daz3D AutoFit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this quick tutorial I decided to use the Genesis Female Adventure Bundle (G2F<\/strong>) and Taia for Victoria 7 (G3F).<\/strong> You can purchase them by following the links in the description. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s open Daz and create a new project. Then we will import our model to the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"daz<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As you noticed, this is a G3F<\/strong> (Genesis 3 Female) model. If we want her to be wearing our G2F<\/strong> outfit, Daz will automatically trigger the AutoFit options window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now I will omit and place the clothing without making any changes. This is the result without AutoFit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"daz<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What a mess!<\/strong> Now, let\u2019s do it the proper way and use the AutoFit function. A window will pop up and request more information. This will help Daz identify the object and re-adapt it to match the new model\u2019s shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"daz<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To convert items, we specify in the first option which figure is designed for. In our case, G3F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second option, we specify which type of item we want to apply to this model. For the hood, the closest type would be a full-body piece. Then we click \u201cAccept\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we can see how AutoFit has made it very easy for us to convert and re-adapt clothing across different generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, and since AutoFit was not originally designed for Genesis 3 models, we will need to tackle some extra issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"daz<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

AutoFit has it very hard working with shoes, and we clearly see why. In order to solve this, we need to follow a few easy steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
