I've been going back and forth on this for the last couple of days. I made this body suit for Aiko for a private project but it's (in my admittedly biased view) pretty cool! So now I'me wondering if there's a market for it. Some points. The picture shows the suit in it's normal Aiko shape (kneeling figure) and with a recently added "Realistic" morph (nearer figure). This is some of the best fitting and bending clothing I've ever done. This picture has no post work what so ever. However, it has only the most rudimentary UVMap. Using the Material Room in P6 has been fine for me, and I am NOT very good at building UVMaps or textures. (I've asked before but anyone out there want to take a shot? I have several other projects I'd like to talk to someone about as well!). Would this make the suit unsellable? Not shown in this picture is a set of boots that can be placed over the body suit, as well. Please let me know your honest opinion. Does this look like something good enought to sell?

I think it looks great - But Aiko already has a catsuit which could be textured close to what you are doing here - my question; what makes this different from the catsuit? I think that would have to be your selling point. Rob :)

Looks wise, it looks nice. Daz has a body suit with all morphs sooo unless your going to sell this with a bunch of textures to make it special it's kinda a limited item. without advanced UV Mapping and full morphs body suits or quick suits are limited sell items. Making it unique with special textures and a bunch of poses might help sell the total package. Nothing is actually unsellable, but probably limited in sales unless it's something really amazing. I hope that helps. Good luck.

Well, you're right of course, Aiko does have a cat suit at DAZ,but it's a bit steep at $29.95. I was thinking of around $10 depending on how many FBM I include. But I guess I'll just hold off until I have more to put in the package. Thanks for the advice. mike

One thing I feel about catsuits is that it would be nice if they had either built-in or as available morphs some of the typical creasing you get when you put close-fitting clothes on a human body. Pretty much anything but the most sheer pair of stockings will have tiny folds behind the knee, for instance. On something like latex, the gathers and creases are rather more striking, especially the characteristic sharp-edged bulges that form on inside bends. Since the geometry on figures is not optimized for this, second-skin type suits can only use displacement or bump maps. Not optimizing joint geometry on a dedicated catsuit seems to me a waste of a potential opportunity.
