which belt should we use? they seem to be all different as well

hey, hope you doing good!
the problem with these kind of outfits is underneath the shoulder and between the legs. you reference pics you send me here, does have these problems too, which are just not easy to fix inside daz. so yeah, i can actually make it now, but just like on the reference pics, its not going to be perfect and there will be some stretching on those pink lines when posing your character 

hey, hope you doing good!
i still have 2 outfits to do, so there is a bit of waiting time. what outfit would you want me to make?

thats looks very doable!! im still have one outfit to go, and then i can start working on this one

yeah, and of course, things take a turn for the worse. but all fixed now. so, ill start working on your outfit now. should have something to show you by tomorrow

i dont think i can do it yet. just cant figure out how to get a nice result on those tassels. and if its not going to look nice, im not going to do it. can you give me an other costume to make, please?

i will keep testing and try to figure out how to make it. if i do figure it out, ill contact you. thank you so much for your support!

that looks very doable, and i think i can finish it within 2 weeks, but just to be certain, cause i have one other outfit to finish first, if you can give me your email, i can always send it to you by email as well. if thats ok with you

also, dont worry about payment, like i said before, you dont have to pay me anything since i have you here on patreon. i just feel really bad i could not finish your other outfits

thats really amazing, thank you so much for doing that! <3
i think we have a couple of people from there already here now, so thank you so much!

higher quality and cheaper than other manufacturers? thats a lot of praise! i do know i need to up my modeling skills, especially when it comes to things like foot wear and accessories! we will get there eventually

im starting with your outfit now, so i think we have enough time to finish it before the end of the month

the outfit is up. right in time for the deadline :D

if you run into any problems, just let me know and we will try to fix things. once march is over you can always contact me on deviant art as well

also, i think i know how to do the tassels now, still need to do some more testing with it. if i figured it out, ill make that outfit for you and send it to you

well, thats the thing, i can do it in marvelous designer, 3ds max or blender, without any problem. even with very low densities

just so you know, thats not really how dforce works, it looks at the base mesh, not the sub division level when simulating. so there has to be some kind of trick they are doing.

do you know any outfits that have these tassels going on? i can try an do what they are doing if i can take a look at it

you didnt have to do that, but thank you so much! ill see if i can match this

ok, so this is outfit is made in marvelous designer and there is a bunch of problems going on. biggest issue here is the tassels are super thin, so you cant see them from curtain angles, and it creates gaps.

and look at the end of the tassels, they are rounded off cause of the subdivision, also something we dont want to happen.

it does drape correctly though, but i think thats cause of the length of the tassels, they longer they are the heavier the get, so thats actually a good thing

as for the vest, there are some tassels on the chest area, so that will give problems too, so im not sure if we should do this yet

very nice, what they are doing is using triangles, instead of squares. thats actually a really good idea. it keeps the vertices in place when applying subdivisions to the dress. never thought about doing it like that. very nice. it does still round of the tips when we apply smoothing modifier to the dress though.

they did taper down the straps too, to avoid collision issues. 

ill do some more testing, see what i can up with. thank you so much for this!!!

why does the rendering take so long when using Korean daz cafes products? are they very high poly or something, very large textures?

yeah, i have added that too

thank you so much!!!
the outfit is up

yeah, i can make panties too, what kind of panties are we going for?
and yes, we can do an other costume. what are we going for?

oh, and what is the series and characters name? so i can title the outfit

hey!
yeah, i got it. looks all very possible to make. i can make the guns too. would be handy if we have some more pictures of the gun though

only thing im not really sure about are the boots, still learning how to setup footwear. im getting there but its not perfect yet

its all about learning how to make it work inside daz. and im very glad you are having fun with my outfits!

yeah, im not really sure how that fur is going to work inside daz. going to do some testing to see how it reacts with dforce

its not going to work, the "fur", they are called tassels in english, dont work inside daz. they move and dances around all over the place. i tried making it bigger like on the yellow outfit, and still cant really match the same size. so its not going to work

the problem with using the opacity way, is that those tassels dont move from each other, and with action poses, like you do, its going to look realy weird. i have uploaded a new post to show you

pa stands for published artist. if you are an pa on daz you get access to an other version of daz client, which lets you do a lot more things. one of them is saving hair and fur

ill add underwear, but im not sure if we should make this, if there is no solution for the tassels in daz

yeah, sorry my computer died on me. not a lot i could do about it. but its all fixed now. so i can start doing the last outfit as well.

if we can change the outfit, that would make things a lot easier, cause that outfit is just really hard to do. i leave it up to you, if you want to keep it or change it to and do an other one.

just finishing up a necklace that was requested, then ill start working on your next request

the problem with using textures is that wrinkles are fixed on a specific place, but thats not how wrinkles work. wrinkles move depending on how your character is posed, so in every pose wrinkles are different. and thats what makes marvelous designer and dforce in daz really great compared to any other 3d application, which is just not possible to create with normal, bump and displacement maps

lets do this one: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FHqDjLwagAEzf_y?format=jpg&name=orig

do you know of any other reference pics for this outfit. if you can find one of the back side as well, that would be really handy

nice, thank you. ill start working on this outfit

no not yet, im trying to figure out how to get those plates on the skirt to work

but other then that its all finished
just need to figure out a way how to apply dforce correctly now

yeah, the transfer utility is only so you have a start, but after that you need to setup some weight maps to correct things. it never works straight out of the box.

i think its all done, i just need to do some testing with different shapes to see how the outfit holds up. so it will be ready tomorrow

well, i changed it cause you said that. i started out with a single piece so it looked just as all the pictures you send me, but you said it would look better to change it to two separated pieces, so thats what i did. 

ok, its up. took a bit longer cause i was sick last couple of days.

if you want wrinkles all over the place, easiest way to do that is to google for wrinkled paper, and then add that texture as a bump map to the outfit. the problem with making wrinkles like you trying to do now, is that it will never look natural. cause wrinkles are always different depending on the pose your character is in. thats why we really need to use dforce or MD to get the wrinkles in the right places

haha.. its 2 pm right now. so for once its actually ok now! xD

sleep well, talk to you later!

the basic outfit is ready. now i need to know which belt we going to use and what kind of material the p[purple parts are of the outfit.

ok, so now the grey parts and purple parts are separated, and the cloth itself is a lot closer to the body. but you are right, im not sure how this is going to behave when we use extreme poses. i guess we have to experiment with that

now i need to do the belt. i need to know which belt we going to use cause they are all different.

https://sta.sh/0mi1hyr3xaa

can you find any other reference pictures of that belt? its really hard to tell what is going on. i think its 3 red jewel stones with a chain belt? is that correct?

well the only thing that is working right now, is the marvelous designer out, but that doesnt have any ornaments on it. you want that?

here you go:
https://sta.sh/01qqtiesbvy9

no problem <3

do you have any pictures of the backside of the 3rd outfit?

i have this now: https://sta.sh/01ikpss05jjg

but i dont know if this is correct

ok that video helps a lot. thank you!

did some testing with the transformation outfit on how to get those wrinkles to work. but i dont like how marvelous designer is doing the wrinkles and fold on these tight bodysuits.
the problem is, a human body is squishy and soft and reacts to the garment which then creates the creases on the garment. but these 3d models a hard and solid, they dont move or react at all to tightness of the garment, so it will not simulate as it would in real life.

https://sta.sh/02gkhekinbl5

yeah, i can make these normal maps, but for folds and wrinkles i dont really like to use normal maps. especially if you use dforce on top of that, you get wrinkles that are all out of place

ill keep working on the outfit, but its going to take some time to get things work properly

oh that third one is easy, cause its skin tight and no wrinkles, so thats really easy

the problem is with the second outfit is those wrinkles have to be right otherwise it will look off, and it wont feel like the original outfit. 

ok, then ill start working on the 3d outfit. put the 2nd outfit on hold for a bit. i do want to finish the 2nd outfit, but let finish the 3rd outfit first

haha, dont get in trouble with the wife. a happy wife is a happy life!!!

still working on it. i think it will be done on Thursday

hey! good to have you here, and thank you so much for your support!

ok so i went through what you wrote down, and it seems like there are 4 different outfits. so, which are we going for?

https://sta.sh/0ljs0ij7ojm

so, i made a first setup of the pink outfit. i did make a couple of assumptions, because im not really sure what is going on exactly on the outfit

first thing is, i think the shirt is tugged in underneath the skirt. the skirt itself has 3 buttons on it, but im not sure how that panel is attached to the rest of the skirt. right now im having it as an overlap, but not really sure if thats correct

if you have any other reference pics, then link them to me

there is no need to pay extra since i have you here on patreon. if you want you can raise the amount you pledge here on patreon, which is really appreciated but not necessarily needed. so ill leave that up to you

thank you for the reference pics. seems like i was wrong on the skirt, so i fixed it. also fixed the way the shirt and the skirt came together. i think it looks way better now.

only thing i still dont like is the bump on the shirt. not really sure what kind of bumping we should go for.

couple of days ago i figured out how to keep some thickness to a garment, so i applied that trick to the garment as well. so the outfit is full dforce ready for the g8f character, ill upload the marvelous designer and the daz outfit both when im done

i have a little problem with my paypal account right now. so either you have to wait till they fix it or you can just raise the amount here on patreon for one time

haha, we were typing at the same time!!!

but thank you so much for the raise! <3

well its not really ready yet. like i said, i want to change the bump on the shirt. also need to setup the content library for daz. ill try to finished it all tomorrow

so, i uploaded both, md and daz versions of the pink outfit. let me know if you run into any problems and ill help you out

ill start working on the transformation costumes. its not going to be easy to get all those folds and wrinkles in the right places, but ill see what i can come up with
