I am looking at possible purchase of this product called 2nd Skin. Before I do I would like to see some feed back on this product on how it works for gloves and full body suits?

I have used it for personal clothes creation. IE: not an experienced modeler yet. So I used it to spit out an object for example of the chest area to get a starting point for a sports bra as one example. You can set an offset of how far off the character the new mesh is (fits). Even if I am on a Mac emulating windows, D3D has been really good at answering questions. Works really well and without it I would be lost as where to start. You select the zones-groups you want and it spits out that mesh. Have not tried gloves, but have played around with a mask and again from my uneducated perspective it works really well.

grichter, would you be willing to show some examples? How does this thing differ from just painting on to the figures skin texture? I am currious about the process you use to create clothes this way... you use it to spawn a rigged geometry and then map and transmap clothes on that? Do you change the UVs?

Yes please I would like to see something myself other than the promo images.

No I used it to spawn an obj file and then imported into C4D and then tried to model on that geometry. Late for work and won't be home until late tonight. Gone all weekend doing my main hobby which is being a mechanic on a racing go-kart. Have to prep some karts for the SuperNats in Vegas next week. If I have time before I leave for Vegas I will try to throw together some images. Don't have any poser stuff on my laptop yet. Unfinished current project is a bullet bra for V4 ala Betty Page style.

:biggrin:

Ok it does hands but you would need to work on them in photoshop to get the fingernails colored the same as the glove.

Sorry just jumped in and did the hand for you, crappy renders I know. Ok, when you conform the skin to the char it is just like a regular piece of clothing. Need to play with it some more but think you can input the morphs as well. The M4 I pulled in wasn't injected yet so need to do one with morphs to make sure.

Ok did one on David and it does copy all the morphs and conforms to the original character.

Does the glove create a thumb nail of the figures?

Yes I believe so. So I'm thinking it can be used as a start and take it into another program to modify it. I wasn't worried about doing gloves so had never done the hands.

Does anyone know of a program that does something similar to this? I want to create some gloves for an outfit I am working on and not have to worry about whether what I am creating is infringing on someone else's work.

I just upgraded my copy of the original 2ndSkin to 2ndSkin2 last night when I found out it does masks and more. Haven't played with it yet though.

Anything that makes a copy of an original can't be used in another product...at least as far as I know.

well you can use it on the Project Human figures.. them being Open Source and all.... other figures I dunno, but them it's ok. (check the readme if you don't believe me ;) )

If it's open source yes. Don't need to check the readme, open source is open source. But Daz and figures that are SOLD in stores you can't. 

looks at marque and thinks 'it's not worth the attitude that gets thrown back' and walks off

Not an attitude, just wondering why you would say you don't know about other characters when it's written in the EULA. Didn't think it would hurt your feelings or I would not have said anything.
