Second skin clothing

[Pendraia]

Yes Miss B...lots of ideas for using them as they are very cool. It would be nice if poser had something similar. Ilike the fact they can be weightmapped also.

Yea, at some point I'm going to try my hand at using a GeoShell to make a super suit for the figures and then have accessories for it parent or conform to that like belts, gloves and all the rest. That way poke throughs will be a thing of the past.

sounds Like a good idea.

That's what I am doing with my Spider Girl suit I did for Sydney. It works pretty well as long as the maps are good.

Thank you for the likes I just want to keep this thread alive.

Rokket, I didn't think Poser had Geoshells, how did you do the supersuit for Sydney?

I didn't use a Geoshell. I simply used her templates and created textures for the suit using those so I could follow the geometry and topology closer and not have weird lines running through the texture. The materials are all Poser 11 Superfly. The webbing she is shooting was done in post. The mask and boots are modeled.

To be honest, I don't even know what Geoshells are...

Yay! someone used it ;-) Sorry I didn't follow this thread after starting it but last year was a B**ch for me ...huggy

@Rokket, a geoshell is like an extra skin of the character that you can use textures and shaders on. The great thing is that you can weightmap it so it will not stay exactly next to the skin...there are other features but just waking up at the moment and not clear headed enough to explain further. It means you can create things like mask or close fitting clothing but using weightmapping can move it around a bit. If you look at the picture Glenn posted of the undies you can see it's not following the crack...I would guess that he weightmapped it to get it to look more natural.

Hi Pen
I haven't figured out how to weightmap a geoshell yet because it has no mesh so I just created a crack remover morph for G8F.Any tutorials for weightmapping geoshells anywhere?

The purple panties are an Iray decal node.

The original video from daz showed a little bit of it. That's how I know it can be done. From memory it was like weightmapping clothing by using the weight map brush...it's been a long time though since I did it. You can also create weight nodes but I'm not sure if those can be used with the geoshells. I think Richard at Daz pointed me towards those when he suggested using something else to create the masks but as I said...long time ago.

Thanks Pen

Pinging for Geoshell knowledge. I think this might be useful for Poser users as well.

Playing with normal maps.It's just an opacity and normal map that I made.This is genesis 8 Female with some dialed in morphs.

A better view of the shorts.

I need to learn how to do this in DS.
I have a nice set of second skins for my BirKitta Dawn character that would make a great addon.
With Poser I can pretty well get it looking good but DS is a whole 'nother thing.
