You're very welcome. I'm working on it now. I'm about 1/4 through initial modeling of the coverall/oversuit portion. When done, I should have the oversuit portion, utility belt along with a second-skin texture and bump map to simulate that crazy-weird lycra-like suit thing. If I go quick enough, I might give a shot at boots.. dunno though. I've never made any footwear so V4 would probably not be pleased by my efforts.... It wouldn't be Prada. ;)
Can you find any ref photos of the lower portion of the garment, a side view? It looks lke it has some sort of string-ties to join the front and back portion. I'll incorporate the side-opening collar (found a photo ref of that) and would like to be as true to the original as my meager skills allow in making laces.... (Although, laces that actually did anything but looked like laces aren't something I'm prepared to do. :) )
Anyway, I'm working on it. BTW, check ShareCG a little bit. For some reason, I think someone may have already done one somewhere.. Just a fuzzy memory that's nagging me - I seem to recall something like this before. Maybe I'm getting it confused with one of the outfits done for Poser "Lost in Space" characters or something like that.
PS - The Thanksgiving Holiday (USA) is tomorrow and I'm not sure how much work I'll get done on this by then. But, I should have something to offer after the Holiday weekend. I'll post a link & render for it in this thread when I'm done.
