Not that I want to encourage anyone NOT to buy a product of mine, but SRMS won't work on Genesis 2. Maybe you did know that, but you've got it listed up there with a bunch of G2 things. ;)
It is replaced by the Dress/Tunic Rig and Clothing Smoother products.
It wont? I thought that was for G2M/G2F cloths???
Nope. It's for Genesis 1. I used a different system for Genesis 2 Male and Female because the technology had changed somewhat and I had new methods available to me (and doing small products is easier than doing one giant one).
Thanks for the heads up on that. Another list for a 'Complete set' I guess??? Clone + item rigs? or that is just for back-converting...
Sickle Dress Rig Genesis 2 Female
Sickle Tunic Rig Genesis 2 Male(s)
(still looking....)
Easy Caustics (Must have for mirror walls and floors)...
Highly recommend all of Sy's utilities.. they save me a TON of time and headaches.
Yes very useful. That top left part, was stuff for Daz studio in general, not Just G2M. I did manage to knock Measure metrics off of that list, yet to see it tho.
It is a small sampling of everything I'm looking at 'Needing' and don't have yet, lol.
(edit)
Jindi was chatting about using the Sickle Rigging and Morphing System to convert Dawn outfits to G1F/G2F in another thread. That is why it ended up in the must have list.
Thanks, Fisty. :)

For converting Gen 4 and Genesis 1 clothes to G2:

For Gen 4 to Genesis 2 you need Slosh's and Mallenlane's clones too:

I'm not just interested in converting stuff. I'm faced with a "From Scratch" as well. Making a set of plane cloth arm bands exactly like the ones in this set. Yes this is one of the Items that got yanked out from under me.

For G2M and G2F would be fantastic.
(EDIT)
I'm also thinking of a shorter variation like this pic.
If you get Sebastian for G2M then I suggest buying Oliver HD as well.
If you get Sebastian for G2M then I suggest buying Oliver HD as well.Agreed, a lot of bundles out there for stuff. And the add-on texture sets for all the sets that have them. It is a rather truncated list. and it totals well beyond my budget for a buy all at once.

Another thing I despise. "That arm band looks good", tho How do you get that one arm band on the other arm, when it's not in the set that way, lol. (EDIT) It's the same with some leg items as well.
...a quick for correcting skirt its that I use is creating a geometry shell form the wither the Genesis or G2F MFD (depending on which figure you are using) and fitting a dress to the Geometry shell instead of the character. You lso have to mke ure the MD is the collision item as well. It doe require a bit more work as you often have to pose both the geometry shell as well a the character.
The nice thing with both the SMRS, Dress Rig for G2F (which I have), and the Clothing Smoothers (which I still have to get) is they also help with fixing texture distortion which can often occur in skirts (particularly long ones) after autofitting.
Using the Geometry shell can still result in texture stretching in the middle of the skirt.
Go ahead.
My thoughts seem to have some overlap with Cypherfox. The Necromancer and Renegade Adventurer have promos that are unflattering. Don't remember The Necromancer but I remember Renegade Adventurer in the vein I remember seeing the promo and not clicking the product page. It's a little more baffling and disheartning both since knowing it's you now I'm shocked since you have good promos and because the additional pictures are better renders. People who would usually be swayed by the quality of your prior work won't even get past the point of entry. The Necromancer is an interesting case since, while the base Renegade Adventurer promo is fine except for the lighting/prop resolution, I think the "02-the-necromancer-daz3d.jpg" is a stronger promotion piece for The Necromancer. The colors draw you to the necromancer himself whereas the base promo is lit in a way where the monster in the background winds up getting far more focus than the outfit.
Valid points have been made about timing since sales and promotions can sometimes make or break a product outside of the quality of the product itself. It's why I think a lot of these mini bundles that have been coming out are good since they act like a promotion in a box. It's also where it gets disappointing when a set only has one color by default and no third parties make extra textures. It's a massive annoyance I have with Lady of War and Mercenary Maid since it means there's not even the option for an enemy faction (don't get me wrong though, very glad they exist).
With the outfits themselves, Renegade Adventurer is in a weird place. It's less niche but it has to compete against a few other rogue outfits. Sorta turns into a weird example of "it's not bad but..." since some buyers may be choosy if they have other options. It does seem like it may be friendly to those who use shaders but I can't be sure without seeing the material zone breakup. The Necromancer is more niche but it stands out more. I can't think of anything else like it off the top of my head. Parts distribution is really good. It's "one" set but I can see giving the harness to a death themed barbarian, the gauntlets + mask can work for a voodoo sorcerer, and the robe to a villager. Versatility is a thing I value as a customer and oddly The Necromancer has more if you think outside the box.

Leaving budget matters & sales confusion aside, this is the main reason why I haven't been all over many of the new releases. Sorry, but if there's no Poser support then it's an instant no-buy for me regardless of how cool and/or good your product is. Male outfits I want & need, including skimpwear -- I could really use some impossibly-fitting undies & swim suits for my guys, not to mention painted on jeans & shirts that open all the way -- but if you want me to buy it please add DSON support as well whenever it's technically possible to do so.
All my stuff works in Poser =)
For which I am very grateful. Eagerly awaiting your new set. :-)
What Lee character is that? His shape looks nice and his texture looks smooth. :)
The only trick with the "stricter Criteria" element is that men's clothing is, by its nature, much less forgiving of ... let's call them glitches, than women's clothing. It seems to be more obvious when something designed for men isn't quite right, either in style or construction. It's not so much the customers but the clothing itself that is more demanding.
You see much the same thing on shows like Project Runway, when at least half the designers are completely baffled by the construction of anything that isn't for a Size 0 female supermodel.
Yes.. there are also usually more areas that need to be ridged which is a ton of work to get right, or even acceptable. The morphing is also more work >usually<. For the females there are only a few body morphs that are really troublesome, Gia and Heavy being the two big ones. For G2M more than half of the named ones and a few of the generic ones are quite a pain. Most G2M characters are very lumpy so it either takes a ton of fixing with smoothing brushes in the modeler to fix the auto generated mangled mess, or you have to make the whole morph from scratch and then try to line up exactly how the joint centers were moved so it bends right without pokethrough (particularly around the top thighs, elbows, and armpits) which is a lot of trial and error.</p>
i just put sexy girl stuff on guys.

...hehheh, love it.
...hehheh, love it.
... until it comes to those cute little vests and jackets. Tops are a real nuisance to cross-dress, even if many would be pretty cool to have on guys too.
