Renderotica

Hello all,

Looking for clothing of any kind for G8F/V8 that is nipple friendly. Meaning high enough resolution in the nipple area to follow the morphs well. Can't stand a mound when there should be a nice nipple poke.

Also, any clothing that is Breastacular friendly, again, mainly for the nipples.

Thanks!

I'm starting a running list of suggested products from folks who have commented here, so they're easier to find. All links open in a new window.

My List

Sci-Fi Body Suit SF-001 - By Smay. Made for Genesis 2F, but works surprisingly well with G8F. Awesomely well, in fact. Sample Image
Slinky Suit 2 for Genesis 3 and 8 Female(s) - Also by Smay. Good stuff.

Optika's List

One Piece Thong for Genesis 8 Females - By RainbowLight
Flow Outfit for Genesis 8 Females - By ArtTailor
Summer Outfit For Victoria 8 - By Halcyone and faintblue

Also worth checking out - Optika:
- JaMaRe-stuff at *deleted* which has quite mild tents (Revenant's note: All JaMaRe's stuff looks to be Dforce, so not sure how nipple friendly they will be)
- LilFlame-stuff at *deleted* which has quite mild tents on some clothing (like the MiniPJs)
- Powerage-stuff at *deleted* and available here (some shirt seemed also to work fine)

Yeah, I have the same issue. All clothes have not enough geometry to show the nipple shape.

The dFrorce simulated prop itself works only with the base mesh (switching to "Collision Mesh Resolution: Viewport" does not help, after it's only affects the collision).

So there is no chance to get a nice nipple poke through :(

Here's a video that may help. Sorry for the low quality and resolution, but I was trying to get under Renderotica's 20 megabyte limit, also I'm not on Youtube.

And my microphone's not recording for some reason, so I'll try to explain it here.

Edit: The video is up here Renderotica - Gallery - Increasing-the-resolution-of-a-clothing-garment

1. open your figure in Daz Studio, keep it in the zero pose with all morphs turned off.

2. load and fit the clothing item to the figure. don't change anything and export it to Hexagon (or whatever modeler you use). Make the genesis figure invisible and select the clothing item before you export.

3. in the other program, increase the smothing (or whatever it's called in your program). Just keep in mind that each level you go up quadruples the polygons.

4. export it back to DS as a prop and hopefully it loads at the same size, but with increased polygons.

5. fit the original clothing item to None

6. open the Transfer utility. The Source is the original clothing item, the Target is the new prop. Deselect Parent to Source Figure and Accept.

7. You can Hide or delete the original item, we're done with it. Select the new item and go to Scene Identification. Set the Preferred Base to the Genesis model you're using. This identifies what the clothing is made for, anything else will trigger the Autofit menu.

8. Now you can fit the clothing to your character. Pose it, morph it, save it or whatever.

Using this method you can increase the resolution as much as you like. Once you have the new prop, you will have to copy the material settings from the old one. I forgot to add that part. Good luck!

I find Dforce clothing to be the main problem. None of them have high poly counts in the nipple areas, at least none I've come across so far.

Thanks for the list Optika. It's a start!

Here's one that I've found: Slinky Suit 2 by Smay https://www.daz3d.com/slinky-suit-2-for-genesis-3-and-8-female-s

I actually just bought it, mainly for this purpose. But it's not really any better, since the whole problem is due to low poly count. It's neat, but needs some work, like a symmetry option, for one. Oh, and an undo. The DS undo doesn't quite cover it. Zaavaleta's suggestion is probably the only way for existing clothing. I purchased Hexagon a long time ago, but haven't messed with it for ages. I might have to load it up again and see what happens.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I've tried adding subdivision with some of the Dforce clothing, but it doesn't seem to do much for what we're talking about. Some of that stuff you mentioned I haven't really messed with.

Hi Zaavaleta.

Nice video!

I was hoping you'd dial in the nipple morphs to see how they worked at the end, but didn't see that. :)

The trick with the suit is that you have it conform to the figure and it due to its higher poly mesh, it will take the shape of the nipple as a morph (to dial in the nipple shape of the figure). You then transfer that nipple morph from the suit to your article of clothing. You then dial in the nipple morph to the clothing and then your clothing will push at the nipple area and better conform to your figure (without also expanding the chest/breast region of the clothes)

My bad. I will have to give it a try. Does it work with Dforce clothing?
