    That's the bodybuilder trunks from my Gymrat Xtreme product. Be aware that DAZ Studio Autofit won't do such a good job and you still have to take it into Hexagon or Z-Brush and smooth the polygons there with a smooth brush.

    I've often thought about making a conforming set for Genesis but I haven't make conforming clothes in such a long time. But it has been at the back of my mind for awhile.

    Thanx for replying. Darn, Aargh!! I have Hexagon, but am very inexperienced at using that particular software. I think a conforming swimsuit, like that one, for Genesis and especially Michael5 would be a great product.

    If you're aiming for a sort of leather speedo-type look, there are a few things by DZheng at Renderosity that you could use leather shaders on to make work like that. The thong from the DZ Chippenmale set, the bikini brief from the Undergear Set 2 (kind of pricy when it's not on sale, especially if all you want is the brief), DZ NetMesh's briefs if you want to be a bit racier (the sides have cutouts, but the front and back are solid -- the "netmesh" is the accompanying shirt), the DZ Denim brief (which has this weird strappy thing going on along one side), the bikini brief with Undergear Set 1 (again, a bit pricy). He (...I think) is one of the few people making that sort of thing for the male characters. Also, all of the above are available in separate sets for both M4/H4 and Genesis.

    You can use either the Leather Factory Shaders or Leatherize from DAZ; there are also a few freebie leather shaders on ShareCG.

    You can get an idea what a couple of them would look like, below. Chippenmale brief on Braxton the redhead (you'll need to play with the morphs to keep it from being too revealing, especially since that's what it's explicitly designed to be, but it's not too difficult), DZ Denim on Wynn. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the others.

    Hope this is helpful.

    This seems to be the right topic for this question: Does "Wet Body Gen5" work with Reality/Luxrender?

    Yes, the enclosed Illustrated Help PDF tells you the best way to setup your materials and lights in Reality to optimize your render with Reality.

    Here's an example using Michael 4 and Wet Body. Wet Body Gen 5 will work the same.

    Very nice. I'm a bit confused, though. Will any of the Wet Body products work in Poser or not?

    You might be able to generate in DAZ Studio specular maps to export to Poser but not without a lot of fiddling and extra work to do something that in DAZ Studio works automatically since the product uses DAZ Studio Layered Image Editor.

    I see. Anybody know of something similar for Poser? I want to use it on M4.
