Well... this was put off for a week or so while we forged ahead on finishing the "Millennium Dragon" (btw, previews at rbtwhiz.com), but now that we're done with that... I can get back to final tweaks on the football uniform. Anyone in a production environment knows problems arise (so the actual date may shift to compensate for problems noticed in beta and the fixes required by such), but it looks like next week should be the release of the football gear.

For what its worth, this gear was started back in November 01'... whilst still a broker, before I was hired by DAZ (in March 02'). DAZ purchased my library of content (in addition to a few in-development works) shortly after my employment began. Since March, everything I build is an "Original DAZ Creation", and rightly so.

The uniform itself is based on the one I wore back in high school. I played outside linebacker and fullback... thus the shape of the pads. There will be morphs for other pad shapes (lineman, QB, etc) as well as fitting morphs for a couple Michael 2 full body morphs. As I said in #3, there will also be 19 different face masks, an articulate mouthpiece and chin strap.

One issue to contend with when looking at the sleeve issue is the grouping, topology and way poser bends geometry in "problem areas". I think we've worked a solution well... although I have to admit, it was a real pain to deal with.

As for legalities and such mentioned, Jeremy... Steve has already mentioned a few things to you in private based on comments in your emails. Whether you choose to pursue release is up to you... but you at least know the issues involved. ;)

Anyway... If I expect to release when I said we would, I'd better get back to work. ;)
