Hi Lululee,
I buy hard drives etc. at BEST BUY and get their extended warranty. If you have any problems in 3 years they fix them, or replace the item for you.

About the only way you're going to get feedback is for you to engage an official product tester who checks for visible texture seams and poke-through and other nasties and reports back.
Thanks for the tip. How do you engage an official product tester?

Quote - ***
I dont know if anyone mentioned that morphs for each body part must be made seperately , and then combined if needed into a full body morph. Its a very tedious process. I think thats still required.***
Now I'm really confused again.
If I make a suit (jacket and skirt) for Victoria 4.2, and I want it to fit the V4.2 full body morph "BodyBuilder" - I morph the figure into Bodybuilder, then import the morphed figure into the 3d modelling program, and adjust the clothing's vertexes/polys to make it fit the morphed BodyBuilder figure - but I have to make a seperate morph for the clothes for each of the individual body morphs - whcih would be:
And then combined all the suits individual morphs into a full body clothing morph for the suit?
I can't just make one full body morph for the suit to fit the BodyBuilder morphed figure without makeing 50 individual morphs first?
If I need to make 50 individual morphs, how do I know which of the possible morphs DAZ used to make their full body BodyBuilder morph? How would I know if they adjusted the - SternumWidth morph or the BreasteavageWidth morph?
And then I have to make 50 individual morphs for each of V4.2's full body morphs:
That would mean I'd have to make 510 morphs? :b_unbelievable:

Quote - If you submit an item to freestuff here you should then come to the Poser forum and ask for feedback.
Also you could post the item to the General Freepository forum in the DAZ forums. Asking for feedback there will get replies from both Poser and DAZ Studio users
At Renderosity and DAZ, when you want to make something available to folks for free, where is the free file hosted for people to upload? Do Renderosity and DAZ host the file, or do I need to find a host myself, upload the free file, and make it available for others to download?
Thanks!

Quote - The morph does not need to be exact, as long as the figure doesnt poke through thats close enough. Of course you want to try to get it as close as you can . The way to do that is to apply the morph to the figure , and export that as an obj file. You can then use that obj file as the template for your morph. Thats a bunch of figures to export but you only need to do it once. Some modellers would let you create a template figure with morphs but thats going to depend on what program you are using.
If you look at some clothing items its some of the Full Body Morphs that the cloths get, not every morph for every body part.
Thank you markschum, you and Conniekat8 have made everything clear!

Quote - You export a morphed M4 as an OBJ, import him into your modeling application, insert the piece of clothing over him. Tweak and massage the clothing mesh with the modeling tools in the application of your choice. When you're happy with how the morphed piece of clothing covers the underlying M4 mesh, export it as an OBJ (so you can load it as a morph later).
Thank you Conniekat8! :biggrin: Your explaination is wonderfully clear!

Quote - IMO the starter of this thread should start learning how to rigg, how to create cr2's, how to create and implement morphs and then he should offer some of his creations to the community as freebies to get a little bit of feedback about his stuff.
That's a very good idea. I already had an idea about creating the cr2's, but the morph thing I had no idea about.
I will make free stuff first. If you make free stuff, how do you get feedback about it?
Michael 4 has dozens of DAZ morphs. I'm assuming that when someone morphs Michael they will expect the clothing to morph along with him. What I don't understand is how to duplicate DAZ's morphs exactly - so that the clothes fit exactly. I understand how to make a morph, but I don't understand how to make a morph that will match Daz's morphs.

I've been trying to make 3d clothing using that Bounce Tumble book, but it's not going to work. Too many times in the instructions at a critical spot the author writes "if you don't know how to do this refer to my previous book." He does this over and over again. He gets to the part about creating an armature inside a t-shirt and he says - if you don't know how to create an armature, refer to my earlier book.
The documentation for Blender and Poser too, is a disgrace.

I borrowed a copy of Bounce, Tumble and Splash today. I'll see if I can use it to make 3d cloth clothes.

Thanks, I'll take a look at Bounce, Tumble and Splash. And I'll do a search on Maya's nCloth.

Lisa, I just looked at your Renderosity homepage and saw that you are enrolled in a university program called Computer-Human Interaction ! What did you think of me attacking my keyboard in a frenzy of frustration -and then the computer responding by performing correctly? :biggrin:

I'll take a look for the Blender Character Animation book. Maybe it'll have something about creating the characters too. Thanks
Thread: I'm an absolute 3d virgin. I just downloaded Blender. | Forum: Blender
Hi Lisa, thanks for the links. I've already made extensive use of the Neal Hirsig ones at www.gryllus.net/Blender/3D.html, unfortunately he doesn't have any material on creating characters or clothing or cloth, which is what I'm trying to do.
On Renderosity and Daz I see some pretty evolved 3d clothing, but there's like a conspiracy of silence among 3d clothing creators. There isn't even one comprehensive clothing creation tutorial on the internet. The people who know how to do it obviously don't want to share their knowledge.
And the Blender Wiki pages (the Blender instruction manual) about cloth and softbodies are really terribly written - they are so jumbled up and missing important information that even if you follow the instructions exactly, you can't accomplish what they are supposedly teaching. - And it's not because I have no aptitute for following computer instructions - I've mastered some pretty demanding software like Final Cut and Photoshop.
I guess it matters a lot that Blender is a free, open-source program - there's no corporation like Adobe or Microsoft behind it - who make absolutely certain that nobody has any trouble learning how to use their products.
I was in a computer bookstore today and there must have been more than 50 different books about learning Photoshop, and 10 to 20 books about learning Maya. There was only one book about Blender, and it had nothing about character creation, and very very little about making 3d clothing.
I've searched youtube etc. for video tutorials about creating clothing, and they are dismal - almost all of them amount to nothing more than animating one piece of cloth to fall onto a sphere.

Thanks for the encouragement. I only love it when it works, the rest of the time I hate it. I wasn't aware that anyone taught 3d modelling - I'll look into it.
