Quote - WOW! Morkonan! You have been busy!

Actually, it's gone fairly quickly but the process just got sort of hungup as I tried to figure out how to plan for something I couldn't know - the laces/closures. :)  But, it's been fun!  I'm trying to get the "feel" of the old 60's sci-fi style.

Quote - When I opened the thread this morning (11.15am UK time) my cheeks almost split due to the huge beaming smile spread across my face on seeing your amazing modelling of the leotard/oversuit... Just seeing the shape sent me spiralling back to the 60's... Fantastic!!!

/grin

Quote - They do indeed have the string-tie sides but a simple clip/clasp at the centre rear of the leotard.

I noticed in a pic I found online that the arms/legs of the skinsuit were detachable as well.  But, since I'm just going to do a texture for that, there's no need to plan there.  On the "simple clasp" is there a decent pic somewhere?  I'll double-check the ones above to make sure you haven't already included one.

Quote - Do you use Poser to do this kind of work, Morkonan?!? Or another programme. Most CGIers tell me Poser isn't that good for doing this kind of work, and so that use other programmes and import into Poser...

I'm using Hexagon right now for modeling.  Poser isn't a modelling application and it is extremely limited in that respect.  I'll use Hex for everything except boning the models for conforming.  Then, I'll use a third party application to transfer V4 model bones into the garment for comforming,  That bit CAN be done inside poser but it's usually accomplished either with scripts or a long, drawn-out process done by hand.  I'll use 3dutils - QuickConform to transfer the bones and then check out the joint parameters from inside Poser. 

I am NOT good with editing Poser joint parameters so someone else may have to take a stab at correcting any that end up causing too many poke-throughs when posing.  But, the object here is to get you something "workable" and that's what I'm going to do. ;)

Quote - I'll go sort out some images of the side profile of the outfit right now... I think that rear view up there might be the only rear view in my UFO Moonbase Girl collection - I'll go check.

Thanks once again Morkonan for bringing this desire design of mine into being!!!AJ 

Thanks for the additional pics!  They're not easy to find and from my searches, including the ones you posted previously, I only found 10 photos worth the title of "Referrence Photo" regarding that uniform and only a couple were good enough to show necessary details.
