this is a bit difficult to explain, so hopefully I don't lose you all ;)

When you customise the proportions of the body of an avatar via the 'adjust proportions' panel, the default value you initially see is 100 for all parts. So you go and adjust the various body parts to the desired proportions and save your avatar. Now if you close the current project and then reload the customised avatar and look at the proportion values they are reset to 100. The body proportions are visually correct, but the values have been zero'd in effect.

No problem when it comes to that avatar, however if for some reason you wish to replicate that body proportion in say the clonecloth version of the avatar, it would be a lot easier if you could copy all the values from your customised avatar and enter them straight into the clonecloth avatar in order to replicate the same proportions. Instead (unless I am missing something) you are forced to put both avatars side by side and fiddle with all the adjustments until they appear the same. And even then it's difficult to create an exact replica.

Practical example is, I have created a character based on the casual G3 clonecloth character that was offered as a free bonus to IC3 users. I'm planning on buying G3 clonecloth soon, and would like to replicate the same body in the other G3 clonecloth bodies eg (bodysuit). Would be very easy if I could just copy all the values from the 'adjust proportion' panel of my customised casual G3 into the new bodysuit G3 - but the values have all been reset to 100. So I have to put the 2 avatars side by side and adjust all the values until the 2 avatars appear to have the same proportions.

Is it possible that a future update of IC could include the option of an 'absolute' value for the body proportions that remains the same even when the project is closed and the character is reloaded ?

I've been asking for this feature for months. I think it's REALLY important.

While iClone 4 features were still partially under wraps, I was informed that iClone 4 would fill this request.

However, it does not.

Hi Darren,

Unless I have misunderstood you, all you need to do is apply the CloneCloth Upper or Lower to your newly shaped avatar and the CloneCloth will automatically adjust to the new proportions of your custom avatar. You don't need to do the shaping process all over again for the CloneCloth.

Hi Peter, I can't speak for Darren, but the issue with me is not fitting cloth to a new body shape. That works beautifully. The issue is trying to transfer a body morph from one avatar to another. Especially if we want to develop an avatar for sale.

Hi Pau,

Sadly the saving of body morphs isn't possible in the current release. I know however that the development team are looking at this feature. I'll pass on your requirements to the team. Hopefully this feature will make it in an upgrade soon.
