Showtime! G8F/G8.1F

A set of models of a ladies' performer outfit, rigged in DAZ Studio for Genesis 8/8.1 Female. Bodysuit/collar/cuffs: 2318 polys. Shoes: 878 polys. Also included is a Geoshell preset for G8F/G8.1F (in this case they are not interchangeable) that applies a pantyhose shader from the waist down. An assortment of Wearable presets load all of these items together or individually as you might need.

NB: the shoes included are a copy of my CFM pumps, just included here for convenience. You can skip or overwrite this if you like and it should be fine either way. See readme for other important info.

Enjoy :)

    This looks very cool! Thank you!

    The panty hose geoshell came out better than I expected, it's just a flood fill of a mesh bitmap I use for all sorts of stuff and a very basic config of the glossy parameters (mostly anisotropic).

    Oh heck. Y'all. I figured out how to do this cool

     

    e: and it's still fully parametric so, thus

     

    & so

    Utterly stumped on getting this into texture form, the C4D baker is just very bad

  • SquishySquishy Posts: 707

    Proof of concept

    The C4D baker sucks pretty bad but I hit it with hammers until it gave me something I can work with, it needs some manual cleanup but it's 99% of the way there. I should look into something better at baking mesh to textures, this was way harder than it should have been.

    lol a lot of my problems with C4D's baker are being caused by it crosstalking to meshes present in the scene file even though they're not set to be used / are hidden / are positioned far away from the stuff I'm working with, so dumb angry

    baked the fishnets mesh to a pretty clean black and white map with XNormal, a free tool that is like 17 years old lol

    very little manual cleanup required, much better

     

    I'll do a couple more variants and publish these separately, enjoy :)

    Hello,

    I have a missing file error while loading the bodysuit or the Basic Tuxedo material setting:

    Inside the Misc/Fabric directory, there is only one file: LooseMesh.jpg

    Sorry about that, I've updated the zip file on Google Drive

    I can't update the ShareCG zip because the site seems to be down. You can also just manually place the attached image file in that directory and it should be fine.

    e: I also updated the Renderosity listing

    Hello,

    I have a couple of questions: in the documentation for the showtime outfit, you're explaining that you have included the CFM Pumps (with a mat presets not available with the CFM Pump itself I think), stating that we may not have to transfert it if we already have the Pumps installed.

    But from what I read in the discussion about the pums, you updated them and moved their geometry to /Data/Excessive/Footwear/CFM Pumps, a change you did not apply to the Showtime Outfit, where the pumps are in /Data/Excessive/CFM Pumps.

    And looking at the geometry files, there is only one for the stocking (in the showtime outfit and in the stocking product) ?

    In both cases, is it intended ?

  • SquishySquishy Posts: 707

    Regarding the shoes, the 'Showtime CFM Pumps.duf" file included with this set (assuming you downloaded it recently) refers to "data\Excessive\Footwear\CFM Pumps" for its geometry. The other directory should not be referenced by anything, try renaming it and see if it still works.

    Re: the material setting, this set is a one-off, as-is. The items included are minimum function just to get this set to work. If you want a material file for that specific setting feel free to just save one.

    Regarding the pantyhose, it's just a geoshell, and while it's been a little time since I really thought about this one, it seems the single file Genesis8_1Female_Shell.dsf is shared between GF8 and GF8.1 versions. Does it work? This set has been downloaded something like two thousand times and nobody has ever reported a problem.

    Thank you for your answer smiley

    The outfit is working fine as far as I can tell. I'm just in the process of adding metadata to your freebies so I'm looking extra closely at them during this process blush

    About the pump, I just re-downloaded the version from Renderhub for the Showtime Outfit ( https://www.renderhub.com/excessive/showtime-outfit-for-g8f ) and once I extracted the file, the pumps geometry are in /Data/Excessive/CFM Pumps/CFM Pumps. It seems to be the same from the file from Renderosity and Google Drive.

    The standalone pumps ( https://www.renderhub.com/excessive/cfm-pumps-g8f ) themselves do load their geometry from /Data/Excessive/Footwear/CFM Pumps

    About the geoshell, it's working fine as it is, but them refering to the same geometry file seems to prevent Daz Studio to see them as two different Compatibilities base, so I don't know if I can set the metadata in a way preventing the G8.1 version to appear when the G8 geoshell is selected and vice-versa. I have looked at how you set it up and I will try to make it so that the G8 version has is own geometry file :)

  • SquishySquishy Posts: 707

    Ah I see what you mean about the shoe. I wonder what exactly I was looking at last night? Anway I will check both of these and update them sometime today, thanks.

    Re: the geoshell: I am leery of tinkering with that at this point as the base item I'm referring to has been in use for a long time by a lot of people, I'd rather leave that alone.

  • SquishySquishy Posts: 707

    Okay, this should be corrected and is now in place at Renderhub and Google Drive, pending approval at Renderosity. Thanks again for catching this!
