You could have a look at this : http://www.daz3d.com/dressshop It is very new to the store. You may find some info on it in the forums.
Most people would use a modelling package such as Hexagon or Blender to make their clothing items, and there are many tutorials available for both programs.
Making clothing is not the simplest of tasks, but you could have a look on ShareCG for tutorials on how to make your own clothing.
Check out DressShop in the marketplace. It won't replace tried and true methods of traditional modeling, but it's a fast, simple way to create clothes for your Genesis figures. If you don't have any skill with 3D, this is the application you want. If you do have skill with 3D, then invest in some of the advanced tutorials around here. Or Lady Littlefox's tutorial series on RDNA.
Dress shop like PhilC's Cothing Designer pluigins for Poser allow you take a mesh object and modify it. There is a basic long dress obj, a basic cloak obj and a basic bodysuit/pant obj. You use either Dress shop's tools or, in the case of Clothing Designer a combination of the plugin's scripts, other scripts and the grouping tools, to create the clothing item you wish.
As DS has not modelling functions, you cannot create a mesh from scratch, you must start out with a base shape mesh the plugin can work with and modify.
I haven't used Dress shop but I've used PhilC's Clothing plugins for Poser since his first back in the P5 days. I don't know what you would do with a mesh obj you create in Dress shop as DS does not handle dynamics the same as Poser does.
If you have not used DressShop, maybe it is premature to critic it and what it can or cannot do.
FYI: I did use Phil C's software and DressShop is NOTHING like it. For my money, many modelers start out with some shape (primitives) and model from there. One user modeled this pumpkin with DressShop.
It is also worth mentioning that DressShop does have a "Load OBJ" function and you can load every OBJ known to man, not just the basic dress shapes you mentioned. I thought I ought to go on record with that...
It is not a lack in Dress shop but a lack of options in DS itself. I fully realize Dress Shop allows me to create and export an obj, import it into Poser as a prop and take it into the cloth room. At present, DS does not offer this option. Other than rigging the new object, what option am I missing?
Sorry, I guess I misunderstood your comment: of course DAZ Studio does not offer modeling tools. That's why DAZ is selling Hexagon and Carrara. Both are great modelers but with a steep learning curve. I cannot say I managed to even qualify as a beginner with these.
I also used Rhino and found it somewhat more intuitive. I guess it all comes down on individual preferences:-)
I am speculating that there was likely just a communication error. In your prior post, you used DS for DressShop (or so it seemed) and also managed to use DS for Daz Studio. I believe that may have caused a bit of confusion. And it is absolutely true, DressShop writes out a mesh that doesn't have any rigging, and there is no dynamics support in Daz Studio like there is Poser. However (I haven't tested this) I think it is safe to say that you can take any exported OBJ from DressShop and load it into Poser to get dynamic clothing.
Actually, that sounds like something that will be worth trying! I think I'll test that right now!
No, I refer to DAZ Studio as DS. If I am referring to a specific version, I will place the version number after DS (ie DS3A for DAZ Stutio 3 Advanced). I refer to Dress Shop as Dress Shop in my prior post and in my other posts.
My Lady just bought this program for us during the PA sale ... and I have to say we paniced at first. We could not find any instructions on using it and kind of dumbly stared at it for about 10 minutes. The she went searching and found your website with the manual and the video. That helped tremendously. It will take a bit to get the hang of the program (like all the others) but it looks promising, and a little less complicated then what we have been doing.
Being REALLY new at all of this, we are hoping it will help us build simple modles to take into other programs to tweek and play with. That will help us learn those programs instead of trying to build something from scratch, when you don't know how to build from scratch LOL.
Did not know you could bring in things besides clothing, thanks for the heads up on that one. Do you plan to add more garment choices?
If I may offer a suggestion, without offending, putting a link to your site on the purchase page would be helpful to others who buy the program.
We only played with it for an hour or so, but gave up because we would make a mistake and the undo button did not seem to do anything, so we would have to start from scratch again. If we are doing something wrong and you can help we would appreaciate the imput.
If you make a wrong cut, use the Undo button and it will restore the figure before the last cut (one step undo).
If you make a wrong shape, same deal - last shape undo.
If you give up too easily, there's an Undo button for that, too - get a refund:-)
As for help - there are two videos and a 40 page manual that you access right from the program via the Help button.
Hope this helps:-)
Nope .... no refund necessary here.... just need to practice and play with it. We did like the things we were able to do, just have to learn it. Have the manual so we will be working on that program along with the others! Just in making mistakes we actually have learned a few things! Trial and error are great teachers LOL. All in all I think it was well worth the cost. Great Job!
And .....Thanks for responding to the post!
