    Hey folks...I'm gonna recommend a name change of the DIM for the G3F 4th dress.

    It's currently: IM00070415-01_4th7DressG3F.zip

    I recommend you change it to: IM07042015-01_4th7DressG3F.zip


    If you've already installed it (and assuming you kept a back up copy), just use DIM to uninstall, change the number, and then reinstall.

    (maybe shutdown Daz and Dim between uninstalling and reinstalling...it seems to like that).


    THE REASON for this is I messed up in using 070415 rather than 07042015. While DAZ is nowhere near a product numbered 70415, it could hit that in a year or two, in which case, if you have the dress installed, it might cause issues (error messages, won't install..that kind of thing).

    By the time 7042015 comes around, we'll be on Genesis 10 and making holograms :)

    (It's not a big deal if you don't do this..just a heads up/suggestion.).

    Sorry for the inconvenience :(

    Here is the metadata for the G2F version of the 4Th Dress. In fact, below are the links for all freebies metadata as DIM installers. Just download and drop the files in your DIM's download folder to get them installed with DIM, or if you prefer extract the content manually and drop the files in your Content>Runtime>Support folder to import them using the Database Maintenance function in DS.

    Thanks to Scavenger for making them DIM installable,

    I finally broke down and bought a Stonemason just so I could get this thing working in Iray. Well worth it. I like the suit, and I'm sure it'll look great on G3F by the time I'm done with it ;)

    Well, that and some fresh paint so I can use it as a school uniform. Would you object loudly if I used the templates to try and make a texture set for a couple of these? I've got some ideas I want to try out, especially for the 4th Dress.

    That render is working as we speak, and I'll get it posted sometime tonight-- complete with a couple of G3F morphs I've been playing with. If I can get proper textures made, I might make them available.

    One thing of note with GJWTHF: When fitted to G3F, the pants on the outfit don't seem to take the invisibility settings very well. The front of the legs go away as expected, but not the back. Might be important, might not.

    Yes, Simon's right - the hair part is a shader so you need to select the "hair" material zone and apply the shader just to that - the "cap" matzone is transparent, so no need to apply anything to that. The bow and band part is a material preset, so no need to go into the Surfaces panel for those.
    ETA: Oops, I see you've already got it working in the time it took me to read and reply...

    Thanks for replying, even if it does seem like it's late. I learned something new, and that's never a bad thing. You added a few details to his explanation and my stumbled-upon solution, which does help.

    Well, I said I'd get it done, and here it is!

    I'd like to introduce you all to (from the left), Siri, Kate, Rumiko, and Alexis.

    Rumiko decided it was time to beat the heat, and go for a dip, Alexis and Kate are dolled up for very different dates, and Siri is going inside to work out in a bit.

    Rumiko and Alexis are WIP sets, mostly dialed out of the morphkits, while Siri and Kate are throwaways named so I didn't have to try and remember which "Genesis 3 Female" was which. Poses were built from bits of G2 poses, and Rumiko is sporting Hongyu's Bikini.

    Yes I know, Rumi doesn't really belong, but she seemed so lonely in the Library...

    Thank you
    just used tiled PBS fabric so not textured , long way to go a lot of morphs to do for the upper parts so it don't bend like a kielbasa lol

    scatha said:
    Wh00t, those look as good as fnished, Cath. Very nice!

    Thanks Alex !

    Alex L said:

    This is looking fantastic. I love the feel of gravity in the drape of the pant leg. You continue to outdo yourself.

    Sorry about that.. I learned to save my scenes while working on :)

    DarkSpartan said:

    It was the bit of scenery I was looking for, rather than environment maps. I have BWC Skies 2, and the textures from that do pretty well.

    I wound up picking up the i13's loft space from the Store, and watched the entire scene chew through 12GB of RAM and then three more on the video card before the whole machine fell over and died.

    So, off to rebuild ;)

    That is nice to say, thank you .. I never cared about gifts , for me a nice card from heart or wishes is worth more than most expensive gift ,it have sentimental value .. as all your great wishes this year made me really happy so I had to give something back as I always do , I could not invite you for a dinner so at last something ! plus it is my 15th years anniversary with DAZ3D ( plus extra time with Zygote ) so even more special .

    Great job as usual ! I am in process of rendering video music clip with Genesis 2 figures for the 15th anniversary using Iray so extra new stuff come in handy .. thanks for sharing ! I like the combination !

    Mustakettu85 said:

    Thank you Cath! And thanks so much for the G2F version of the summer dress - I actually made a G3F clone for my G2F and so made her wear the dress for this render... but it's so nice to have a dedicated version too =)

    Here's the summer dress, the gym hair, and the slippers from your Sari set for Genesis. 3Delight, the shaders are mine + PhysicalSun from the 3Delight standalone shader collection.
    More postprocessing was involved - I rendered to EXR, tonemapped (gotta love the photoreceptor mode of Picturenaut) and then applied some colour correction via a free LUT found online, to get the summer mood =)

    I should've disabled autofollow on the ear morphs (this character has elf ears), but well, I forgot =)

    I must say you getting better and better with Iray , I need to get the map, looking wonderful lighting and everything and the boots add nice accent

    This uses the lovely free summer dress. Thanks for the generous gifts.The Boots use PVC Plastic and the bracelet uses gold and silver brushed metals from your commercial pack. The dress conforms well to a taller and heavier Genesis 3 with some V7 and some Amy morphs. Amy is from the DS Creative Magazine issue 13. Lighting and background are from No Emotion HDRs. It is free, released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 .


    As I finally like it .. I want to share good one or nothing at all ... did not expected the bumpy way but I am learning by , suit is the most complicated as it need to look like a suit and move like one so I try to get with the gravity and if I success it will be the best technically , since I do animated stuff I want it to move and pose as a suit do so a very interesting challenge for me here

    Gah. You are just a tease...lol...those look amazing :D can't thank you enough for your generosity.

    The suit is for G2M males .. :)
    you are free to do any textures for the free sets you like , it has tones of download numbers so I guess people will like to use ..there is never enough of clothing !

    I finally broke down and bought a Stonemason just so I could get this thing working in Iray. Well worth it. I like the suit, and I'm sure it'll look great on G3F by the time I'm done with it ;)

    No ,no furry feet here lol You funny Kyoto Kid ..with a 6 feet tall I am far from a hobbit visually , I am just a gentle giant with a hobbit heart ! hehe

    Lol yes 4-5 hours max , modeling for me not big deal can do set in 2 hours , but the setup and the rest take sooo long minder funny part
    and I love to do many sets on the same time and switching between as I always get new ideas to add between as happen with the suit , on top of that also preparing new PBS shaders so full 16 hours of work daily and I love it , once I get in turbo mode nothing can stop me Lol

    Thank you Ikyoto , the kimono was a pain to setup but it was worthy the time , now I have to figure out how to do the same with the simple general weight maps on gen3 .. missing the old weight maps and did not found my way out yet with the new .. it getting to be clumpy workflow .
    I need to re-render the Monk set in new light with new materials for Iray when I have time
    make sure you post a link to your series would love to see it in action
