Description
More work on previous...
This is about 90%. The gloves came out a lot better than I really expected. Still needs some tweaks e.g. at the armpits and the pinky finger, and the knees of the leggings are doing some bad things as well.
Note for the aspiring Poser modeler: Do NOT design a model around a morphed version of a character and expect the character's rig to work with your mesh. The process I used on this project really screwed me and cost me a huge amount of work. Thanks to Dimension3D for helping me salvage this project with his extremely valuable utilities. I probably would have abandoned this model if I hadn't been able to get the canned V4 rig to work. The boots are a separate problem again, because I modeled them around the feet while they were posed, but I'm sure I can fix that. Learn from my mistake children! Model around the base morph, zero pose unless you're prepared for a lot of additional work!
The model still isn't UVmapped or textured, I wanted to be sure I could get it rigged before I went on with that.
Rendered in Poser 7, minimal postwork *blur).
Enjoy, feedback welcome.

Nice outfit. Are you going to sell it on the market place?

It's going to be given out free, see previous images in my gallery - this is a reproduction of a costume from a computer game, and the developer company has given me tentative approval to distribute this when complete.

The inner thighs of those stockings/boots are going to give you some major headaches - I know from experience. But the outfit keeps getting better and better.

Astonishingly good work on the gloves (and everything else)! Your labors and tribulations are much appreciated by the technically dumber folks in the community such as myself, who only know how to put a figure in a scene, add lights and render. We salute your fine efforts for putting out a freebie that looks to be more elaborate and inspired than most marketplace items.

This is really great looking. There is so much to learn from your descriptions and comments on what takes place behind the scenes to come up with these outfits. Fantastic work!
