I’ve just had another message from Jared and it’s good news:-)

I’ve got good news. We’ve got somebody working on it. I don’t know when it will be finished, but at least someone is assigned to the task.

Hooray!

Edit: I PM’d Jared to see if he wants me to help out….

All that’s required is to re-define the back of the torso, waist1 and 2 and shorts groups so that they have a front and back.  It can be done natively in DAZ Studio…

I did a quick fix. It can be found in the freebie section of my homepage, link is in my signature.  You´ll need rtencoder to decode it www.rtencoder.com.

How?

Yes, much appreciated.

Did they ever fix the UV situation on the basic suit?

Not yet… but there was an update that someone was assigned to it.

Please pardon my naiveté. I watched the basic suit video, and I see that some of the garment parts overlap on the UV map. Can someone explain the problem that this causes? Does it prevent people from applying separate shaders to the surfaces that have overlapping areas on the UV?

Anything that appears on the overlapping areas of a single material zone will appear on both front and back, making it hard to place symbols or to have things join up between front and back. If the areas did not overlap, or if they are separate materials and so able to take separate textures (which is Randy’s work-around) then that problem goes away.

So, I guess you are talking about creating textures for clothing in a program like Photoshop. Once you follow Randall’s video tip to fix the UV map, how do you get that fixed UV map into Photoshop to use it as a guide to making the textures? (As you can guess, I’ve never done this!)
