If I could afford it... but alas, I am but a peasant. (or something like that)

Question: Why aren't there suit/cloth packages for Apollo like there were/is for M3?? You know, suits, shades, button downs the whole nine! He's SUCH a cool f'n model!!! The first creator to come out with a GOOD collection will probably become very rich... and famous. hint  ;-)

Wardrobe Wizard, or one of the other clothing converters, would help.

It's one of the problems of alternative figures. I've been disappointed that there hasn't been a huge influx of Apollo items now that the figure is free.

I'm planing on making something like that, but it's couple of months down the road, as soon as I finish some of the ongoing pieces.

I'm close to finishing the blacksmith apron at the moment.

Something like this would be great.....  www.daz3d.com/i.x/shop/itemdetails/-/

I love that morphing shirt. I've tried to convert it with WW and with XD, neither can do it because of the default arm pose of Apollo. It get totally screwed at the elbows. If I regroup it in XD, it works great but looses the morphs. Morph Manager and Morph Magic can add the morphs back to the regrouped shirt but the morphs don't work any longer.

Wardrobe Wizard is your one stop shop.  Here's Apollo in M3's suit.  It's a little weird because the pose is weird.  Sorry the image is so low quality, I just did it to illustrate my point, and I accidentally saved as a crap quality.

That looks good. How'd you do that. I haven't been able to get that suit to look like that.

But I agree, Apollo is absolutely BEGGING for a suit!

This image however is most certainly NOT of a suit (obviously) but it is a button-down shirt, which I believe was also a request. It's actually svdl's free dynamic blouse for V4.

That's the great thing about dynamics, with a little creative scaling they can fit just about anyone. I find rather than trying to get the shirt to fit perfectly before you run the simulation, you can selectively scale Apollo down and 'grow' him into it.

My suggestion to anyone looking for clothing for Apollo, and if you're comfortable using dynamics...forget which model the item was made for. It's really not as scary a prospect scaling them to fit. And ultimately if I can do it, anyone can! :P

Quote - I was thinking about making something ... sort of like this

That looks very nice. If you do, please make morphs for opening the shirt.

Considering how many people own Apollo I'm surprised that there aren't more clothes for him.  Poser World has a very nice selection of Apollo clothing--but I'm not sure if there any dresss clothes.  He does have a nice selection of uniforms there for sure!

I've never used dynamic cloth but like the results I've seen.  I'm intimidated by the set up and controls and the animation part.  I'm hoping that the Daz Studio dynamic cloth will be a simpler set up.

Re. AM, I suppose it's what people use, rather than what they own, that matters.   When we're looking for a character for scene, unless we're expert modellers (and I'm not even an inexpert one). we are likely to go for the character with the biggest choice of material.   Content creators who want to maximise sales (which is a perfectly fair aspiration) are going to concentrate on the leading figures.   That concentration serves to increase the lead of the leading figure(s).   It's a vicious circle.    I'd love to see AM more enthusiastically supported.    I try to buy anything good for AM, the G2 characters, TY2 and Miki 2 and I use WW a lot. 

I haven't made very much use of dynamic clothing myself, either, but do you know the Starlight Dress from RDNA?   There are many versions for different figures;  they include A3 and V3, but not V4, as far as I know, or Sydney.   TY2 looks best in it, for me, but A3 is great, too.   The thing is that the basic set includes a brilliant tutorial, which works for dynamic clothing as a whole.   Dynamic clothing is far less scary than it seems.
