    I am woking on a brand new expansion of my own with many new characters and shader presets. I have reason to believe that DAZ will make updates to the suit as well... but I cant promise that. If they do, it will most likely be small fixes that improve user experience.

    I would happily buy that combined cape and cowl, especially if there it a 'turtleneck' setting so I could use the cape without the full mask for a character like Robin.

    Im working on the cowls and capes... but here are a couple of old images of the suits.


    Whoa! :bug: That Dark Knight has a Brian Bolland vibe :cheese: And the fun suit takes me way, way back to my childhood :-P

    Dredd Armor Start: I'm using the Trooper as a base uniform.

    I may get flamed but I thought the costume and production design were the best things about the movie, everything else was... :lol:

    Kudos, Randall and Rduda :)

    Looks cool Randall
    Is the cape modeled with those peaks on the edge?
    I think it would be cooler if the edge was straight and you put those in with trans maps....much more useful.

    Good to know you're developing new stuff for the Super Suit, Randall! It really felt like it hit a snag when it was being marketed as practically the only suit you will ever need for nearly any occasion. While I love it as is, there's just so much potential left to be explored. Those youtube vids have been most useful in expanding its uses. :coolsmile:

    Edit March 26: Went back and added breath and a little bit of color to the nose and ears.

    Cool! Are the capes the Supersuit capes? I tried using the dynamic capes put out by SimonWM but I ran into an error or two so I have to experiment some more.

    OMG! I so can not wait for your new bundles to hit the store! Are you taking requests for character designs? How many are you thinking about having in the bundles?

    Not sure how many figures you plan on doing or how frequently you plan on releasing them, but it looks like we can expect Captain America Supes and Bats right away which is awesome!

    I know that many of these are available via V4/M4 but for us Genesis SuperSuit users I would love to see the following:

    - Iron Man (and possibly some additional props/presets for War Machine)
    - Spider-Man (possibly some preset to make Venom out of Freak 5)
    - X-Men (any..all of them! Especially Wolverine and Magneto)
    - Thor
    - Wonder Woman
    - Green Lantern (possibly presets for other Lanterns Like Sinestro)
    - Lex Luther (Armored version like DC Universe)

    I know we could go on and on with favorites/requests, so I will leave it there. But I would also add that I would love to see other genres that the SuperSuit might work for such as Mortal Kombat characters and Killer Instict.

    Thanks again for all your amazing work! Looking forward to see and use the finished products!

    This was my entry in the recently ended stonemason render thread (so I can finally post it elsewhere).

    I figured I'd post it here since I'd like to expand on these characters maybe in the future.

    It's basically a play off the age of apocalypse and days of future past, with basically like the last two mutants escaping mech sentinels.

    This was definitely one of my favs from the Stonemason contest! Well done!

    Wonderful stuff, TJohn!

    Where did you get the boots? Are those the Supersuit boots with a morph?

    Yes, but an opacity map, not a morph.

    What the Supersuit needs is a good Face plate, since the suit can already morph the head area into a helmet of various designs. With a faceplate that can have mouths, speakers, breathing apparatus, single, double or more eye slits, or even blank features, to name a few, it would open it up for more heavy metal armored creations!

    Props brought into Poser:

    Impressive as ever. If you intend to release it, and If you'd like, I could put together a body suit like that trooper one. That way your set could stand on it's own.

    The sort of Turtle Neck Bodysuit would also have use for Guy, that and like fifty more belts...

    A suit for the armor would be nice, in the photo below is what I have now, missing toe detail and zipper. The V4 version is in the Trooper and the J Jump suit I think its called (has the zipper) Comment please :) By the way your chin morph from the Golden age makes a great Dredd!

    Anyone working on Dredd?

    Isi paid Hal to make him a Judge costume.
    Don't know if it was an exclusive thing.

    So what would be the best means to commision somone to do their own concept costumes?

    Me likey :cheese: The male Judge suit has a Judgement on Gotham vibe, which I prefer to the 2000 AD leaner look, but that's just me :-P

    And the female Judges had tighter suits as a general rule, I think :P

    My Superman in flight.

    *EDITED TO ADD* And I am so sorry that I forgot to give credit where credit is due. This is the Golden Age set by JoeQuick (Great set there) autofitted to Genesis.

    The Hair is from the Uzilite Superman set.

    The Genesis Morphs are M5 Hero with my own morphs for the face and some of the body mainly for proportion.

    The skies are from the Skies of Economy set.

    A material/light test in preparation for a Wonder Woman/Fairchild render using RoguePilot's awesome textures. Still working on the render settings for the costumes :-S

    Comments and suggestions very, very welcome especially since I don't have a much of a handle on Caitlin as well as other new fangled characters :red:

    That's cute. My only suggestion would be to add some movement to the hair, how gravity would effect it when they are in those poses.
