No problem Richard a dress like that will be easy to use the transfer utility with. I would be able to get it working for my own personal use quite quickly...of course would take longer for something that you could distribute but for my own use it would be easy.

I will probably put the dress up in a couple of days. I'll add a few textures for it as well.

This will be just a dynamic item for Poser, sorry Studio users.

All the best.

Kewl, and I know your textures will be great. You have a knack for texturing clothing. ;)

I've enjoyed reading...

So far I do everything from start to "ready to simulate" in Blender, then move to Poser. It took a LOT of getting used to, but I have found Blender's UV Editor to be fantastic. If you are really worried about seams, you can take all the vertices of a hem, line them up individually on the UV map, and then take all the vertices from the other side of the hem and do the same. Usually I don't, though, because I try to avoid seams as much as possible. One other neat thing I discovered in Blender, is if you model only one half of the outfit and set up the UV layout then, when you use a Mirror modifier to create the other half of the outfit, the UV is created automatically for the other half, and it is a perfect mirror image of the first half. Translation: texture maps meet perfectly at the center, and as a bonus, the texture artist has to only put together a map for half the outfit.

YES!!! I've been using Blender for years, and I also love doing my UV mapping in Blender.

One thing I forgot the first time I used the Mirror modifer . . . I forgot to then weld the verts on the front and back where the two sides met. ~headdesk~ Only happened the one time, but boy after cursing a blue streak, I actually started laughing after I added the Subdivision modifier. I should've saved a screenshot of that as a reminder. ;)

Sorry about how long this has taken, but I have been ill for a bit, fine now and then.....

Found out that the UV wasn't as good as I thought so, I had to relearn doing it via Headus UVLayout.

This is a test render with Poser materials, but... as I now know that there is a script to get Poser dynamics into Studio I will be doing the textures as texture file that will work in both versions.

All the best.

Oh, hope you're feeling much better Richard. I was wondering why you've been so quiet of late.

Anyway, the dress looks good, and I like those textures. ;)

Richard,

I hope you are doing better now. Been wondering what happened. Nice to see something from you.

And that dress is absolutely gorgeous... I really like the cut of the fabric a lot. :)

Feeling better than I did, but a bit to go yet.

I have 2 sets of textures ready to put together. A basic coloured one and a flowery one.

Yes, all textures will be mix and match for the dress.

All the best.

Looking good Richard. The floral fabric is a nice harbinger of Spring which, for me, can't come soon enough.

Ohhhh I did something similar with a large circle in Marvelous Designer to make a cape. Nice. :)
