Damn.

Sorry to hear about that. I hope that the doctors caught it in time.

Get well, sir.

You can do it in the cloth room too if you're comfortable using it. Increase the cloth density and the air dampening.

Some of the clothing that was shared in this thread uses layered texture maps with a fake skin embedded in in the map to give off the illusion of wet cloth clinging to the skin. I just used the morph brush and several attempts at transparency maps until I got it right.

It's all in the way it fits, which is that it clings to the skin, so you use the morph brush to tighten it to the body. After that, it's the transparency maps that do the work. From there it's a lot of tweaking in the material room.

That render looks great.  Looks like you solved your wet clothing problem.

Now that you have explained it, I have to agree with primorge, because I have run into that problem before with Sculptris. Before I imported the cylinder, I connected the vertices at the caps like he showed in the pics above. You may need a 3D modeling program to accomplish this. There are several that are free if you do a search. Most of them work in quads (4 points/squares), and Sculptris works with tris, but you can still import them.

He/She didn't explain anything. He/She didn't know that the notification from sculptris was indicating that it couldn't import a high valence vertex. Not "too many vertices" as stated a couple times as the problem.

The problem is too many edges converging to a single vertice.

The Poser cylinder's cap is a convergence of 30 edges to a single vertex. Sculptris only accepts 24.

"Before I imported the cylinder, I connected the vertices at the caps like he showed in the pics above."

I didn't connect any vertices in the cap, I subdivided a cube, lengthened it, and flattened Y axis the ends. I did however add edge loops to the length just to give it more polys. I wouldn't bother performing such a surgery on the cylinder primitive when I can make a topologically better one in about 6 minutes.

Just clarifying the facts. Especially since OP hasn't responded to the actual solution, including a solution file, to a problem he posted on the Poser Forum and had thus far not received a solution. It's 3d modeling 101 that's clear as day by the notification from sculptris.

I do parties.

Oh, yeah! You were talking about that Double Hill prop I have been sneaking into my renders since I got it when I was in Poser 9!

I did update the textures for it, but I didn't bother to use them this time around. Probably should have. That texture is pretty bad.

Also would probably look better if you didn't always use such lo res textures on your landscape elements. One way to get around the high texture res hit is to compose your landscape elements of many smaller parts rather than 1 or 2 large pieces with, say, 4k textures.

Definitely getting closer to what I wanted.

And, no I didn't let the render finish...

Yeah, I figured that much out. I don't want to go through all of that, but I think I got a pretty good wet dress out of it anyhow. I am running a render and I'll post as soon as I get it done.

The map I made is just a test. I saved all the GIMP files so that I could redo it fairly easy if I am not completely satisfied with how they turn out. But I looked at the render that is about 2/3 of the way to completion, and I like what I am seeing.

I think I may have to include a mask on her skin shader so that the water droplets don't come through the dress and look fake. I would have to remove the water from the cycles shader on her body where the dress is covering her.

I don't think it matters, as long as we can figure out what it's supposed to be doing...

This isn't working the way I want it to. I can't buy those shirts, but I wish I could get a look at the trans maps for the wet texture. I tried a couple different ways, but I am not sure how they are fashioned. I can't seem to get it right.

I did a quick google and I got this from a different thread in the forum, it might help.  https://www.renderosity.com/forums/threads/2690368
