Anynbody can help me with that?

Thanks in advance

Female Tabi are included with these Furisodes for G1 and G2F:

Making a business suit with multiple layered pieces is the hardest thing I have ever done, clothing-wise, and I include the Furisode with the super-rigged sleeves (although that was third behind the tentacle beasties). Was it worth it? Well, it has always sold fairly well; but getting it through testing was such a nightmare that it contributed to a significant overall burnout with making clothes in general. Lately I'm only willing to go through all that for character sets, or for Antfarm (because he does the great meshes and textures). Maybe I'll get burnt out on character sets and critters and go back to serious large clothing sets at some point. Time to go get Marvelous Designer when that happens. Security! and Police! had lame initial sales but have been an extremely good long-term catalog performer.

Have you read through the licensing gobbledygook? I can't figure out if a stand alone license gives me the power to sell stuff or do I need to dish out thousands to use their product like that?

Yes, you can with the $500 version, because if not a bunch of my fellow artists are in big trouble. ;) If you've bought a skirt in the last year from this store, there's at least an even chance its workflow involved MD. (And I'm not giving away what artists have told me, they haven't; you can tell if you've looked at the program and at the products.) It's become an unofficial standard because it is so good at what it does.

The other thing, though, is if you read them, the "enterprise" license is intended for multi-computer corporate setups.

...the issue I have with with Blender though is its clunky and cumbersome UI which is why I continue to use Poser Pro for creating dynamic cloth.

I agree that going with a software developer that sells an application none of us could afford (13,000$) was a mistake for Daz. I only have three Dynamic items, two were freebies (the flag and bed sheet) and the other is the Dynamic Kimono which I have never used because after the fact I learned it requires the purchase of a 50$ plugin (besides I have SickleYield's Furisode which works just fine).

The other issue I have is that scaling does not work with Optitex dynamics.

RAMWolff said:

Yup, it was a dud for me too. I still have all those clothing items I bought when there was allot of excitement and the promise of a way to make our own. After the wall of silence about that last bit started I stopped buying dynamic clothing. Soon after that DAZ or someone in the know stated that the ability to make our own was nixed for what ever reason.

Not sure if Alex and Ken are still working on a dynamics engine... they have been extremely quiet lately so one can only hope.

Anyway I now have SickleYield's Furisode Genesis which works just fine .

I would like to know where I can find the headdress, that was used on the "Mongolian Beauty" promo pictures. It is not in the Yuriko hair and Expansion and also not part of the Furisode Dress.

Yes, this is not in there. This is a new one what I am working on. I made an outfit with this headdress for Mei Lin 6 and for the Mongolian Beauty faces. But still not released, because there is an under and a top dress part and I want to rig the skirt parts well to use with extreme poses too, like squat or dancing moves... So I am working on morphs and rigging now, but I finished the headdress sooner for the promos.
(huh, sorry about my English)

And
For anyone who thinks Mei Lin is too generic or prettified, holy crap go buy Mongolian Beauty, it is easy to dial spin a unique asian looking character in like 5 seconds. Frankly even if you don't want it that much buy it so that the author will create similar things. Those of you who are missing the ethnic face morphs this is like the asian face morphs only ten times better (sadly just for ladies though) as its more based on partial morphs and thus more versatile.

The lip detail and pierced ears morphs are going to get a lot of use. I think they're going on pretty much everyone.

Seriously this is an excellently made product

thank you so much for your very kind words :)
I usually make my morphs and other items as versatile as I can. I am a morph-maniac :D I couldn't stop this is why I made for example the pierced ears morph..it is not exactly mongolian style :) just had to make....
And this is the main reason why I still couldn't release that outfit too, because I want that it can be use not only for simple standing poses :)

...SickleYield has a rather authentic Furisode.

http://www.daz3d.com/furisode-genesis

The only full Kimono I know of is the Optitex Dynamic one for the Gen4 females.

I've been looking for a good kimono for years. After today's releases, I'm still looking. We've got not one, but two more sexy "kimonos" showing acres of cleavage and miles of leg, and still nothing (except that one fancy furisode version) that even resembles anything that might be found in Japan (outside of a brothel catering to western fetishists, that is).
