I’m not happy with a product that only works part of the time for part of the users. I paid for these ITEM’s and I should get full use like all other users.

Yarr! Let’s lynch ‘em! Quick get me an angry mob!

Sadly though it seems QA slipped up on this. It sounds like the belt and cape were not tested on all ‘official’ shapes before release. There is also the slim possibility that something might have gone wrong during the packaging. Best option is to just return it and wait for a better quality product or fix.

For the supercape I think the problem is that the cape fabric and the cape liner are 2 surfaces that are close together and for extreme genesis shapes, supercape morphs, and poses the surfaces are intersecting. Seems funny that the M5 superhero shape is a problem since you would think that would be the target shape for the supersuit and cape. What I did as a workaround was to set the liner opacity to 0% but I guess you could also set both the fabric and the liner to the same shader.

Do you have 4.5 - if so try applying a Push modifier to the cape and setting it to a pretty low value, that may help to separate the layers if that is the issue.

This shouldn’t be happening, the items were tested with a view to looking for poke through. Which version of DS are you using, and what if any morphs do you have applied directly to the cloak and belt - if you could save a preset for it and post that it will help QA to look into the issue.

The belt doesn’t appear to have the issue under DS 4.5. I would hope that items would be tested under both current release and beta versions before release. That does not appear to be the case here though. It seems QA has become lax in the products as well as the site updates.

Actually the render I posted was done in DS 4.5 pro 64bit so it does have the problem.

Weird. Which morphs were you using? I tested on figures I am using in a current render which used base genesis, Hiro 3/Michael4, and Hiro4/Freak3 and didn’t have an issue.

I’m not sure, but I didn’t have the same trouble with the belt. I use D|S 4.0.3.47 Pro, win7 64bit.

I loaded Genesis and basic suit, then loaded Belt, Boots and Supercape and set them fit to BasicsSuit. (Not sure if this is just for me, but my D|S did not fit them to Genesis automatically, so I did it by myself.)

First pic: Adding M5 shape 100% did not cause problem.

Second pic: M5 + M5 Hero 100%. The cape did not fit. So I tweaked the parameters.
Scale 106%, FBM Freak4 120%, FBM Basic Male 50%, FBM Michael4 -100%, FBM Michael5 -100%, FBM Michael5Hero 0%, FBM GlobalThickness 350% and I got this result. It’s not good enough around the Medallion, though.

Third pic: At least the back of belt did not disappear into the back of Genesis. Used Adjustments>ExpandBack.

no morphs on the suit or genesis, just the belt morphs themselves, apply morphs to the front of the belt and it distorts the back and pulls it into the super suit. I did download the belt boots and cape as soon as they came into the store ill try and download again just incase the files were changed at some point.

Thanks for saying about you not having the probs it gives hope..lol

Same thing happens with the Genesis hooded cloak. Tried to use it with a transmap to turn the hood off in lieu of the supercape, but it just doesn’t look right as it doesn’t hug the neck the same way as the cape.

Looks like I spoke too soon. I was trying the belt on genesis with different morphs applied but without morphing the belt. When I started morphing the belt, I had the same issue that was reported earlier.

The belt and boots set is being updated, it may even already be updated but I’m not sure (it was waiting on packing and uploading three hours ago).

thanks for the news richard.

sal.

Yes Thanks for the info.

I just downloaded it a few minutes ago and it still has the problem.

I have them in my cart, I guess I’ll wait a couple of days to see if it has been resolved.
