Hi

I am a novice Poser 7 user.

I wish to try to make some basic clothing in Poser for Daz Figures, athletes clothing, Lyroa

With the help of Dr.Geep's good tutorials I can select polygons and assing material and am able to change the color, so far so good.

I will if possible to make the clothing look more realistic, I have tried using a new 2D node and assigning a image map of clothing texture but the results were not too good.

Ideally I am looking to simulate shiny Lycra material if possible

Any tips or advice appreciated, as mentioned I am a novice so step by step advice appreciated.

Thanks in advance

check out the freestuff at rdna (thats www.runtimedna.com) there are some good materials there

image map to look great should be painted on the figure or clothing uv map so the places were two pieces join look right .

For shiney increase the specular setting .

Many thanks for your fast and helpful reply

Just one point, how do you paint a image map on a figure, in poser?

Thanks

If you are looking at modeling, I think wings3d is free so you don't have to rely on poser alone.  You can also add something like a phong or blinn node to the (alternate) specular highlights.

You can't paint on an image map directly in poser.  If you used another application to make one, you can add that map to the an object through the material.  You can also use the material room to fake it... but that'll take some time for you to learn.

And is this kind of what you are looking for?  I used a single white light and those material settings.

Thanks a lot much appreciated

I also recommend if you are using poser to get an application called Pegasus Modeler by MarkDC. It does not require you to scale anything when you import into poser and does come with a training video. It is worth the price just for the tutorial alone, due to it can be used for other modeling apps. Also another thing to look at is PhilCs Clothing designer bundle.

Hi

Thanks for your advice

I have found Pegaus Modeler, it is on sale at Daz 3D, looks good and not expensive.

One question though, you mentioned a training video.

Since this is from Daz 3D can it be installed on Poser 7 as a normal runtime and if so how is it possible to see the video.

Do I have to install Daz 3D for this program and video

Thanks in advance

Happy New Year

you need to get the standalone version for yourself.you just import the stuff you want to play with ASFIK CORRECTION it is a standalone app. if on XP install as normal to 'programs' if Vista install to your 'C' drive (C =main hard-drive if you have more than one)
edited for additions
you do not need to install D/S and the vid should play in most media players, if you don't have a player, VLC Media player is good, and it is FREE

I found Daz figures as top model in whole 3D world, but Daz software is not top IMO.
Pegasus is suitable for poser and DazStudio, but there were many bugs. I do not know if they release any patches but first version which I've seen was terrible.
I have few hours to check it (my friend computer) but I was able to crash it 3 times :) Maybe I have special skills ;)
Very similar and very stable is Wings3D. Unfortunatelly objects in wings and Poser use different sizes, but using camera zoom or scale you can obtain the same effect. Wings is free, you find a lot of tips in the net and wings has most simply interface which I ever seen.

I'm fan of Daz product anyway, Pegasus is only product which I do not like.

Hi

Thanks for your help

As I understand from your reply the Daz3D pegasus Modeler is not recommended.

A standalone version of this product is.

I have tried to find where to buy use a google search without results.

Do you have a link fo the stand alone version.

I am not sure what is meant by "ASIFK Correction" in your reply

Thanks
