Crotch reduction on Weightlifting Suit

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hiya,

I have this item: https://www.daz3d.com/mec4d-weightlifting-suit-for-genesis-2-male-s

and there doesn't seem to be a way to reduce the crotch size via parameters. I want to be able use this suit on younger characters without such a pronounced bulge.

I have seen this suit (?) worn by a young character here: https://www.daz3d.com/amazing-skins-for-brodie-6 (see second thumbnail image), so it appears it can be done.

Any ideas how this was done?

    Looks to me like the area was painted out in post for the Brodie images. I can only think that you would have to create a morph. I do that all the time for the opposite reason in that most of the male pants are designed to fit post-surgery males. A few products have a bulge that can be dialled-in but many don't.

    Can you turn limits off on the character's bulge morph and dial a negative amount in?  The wrestling suit bulge will likely reduce that way.  Not sure if there would be any unwanted distortions in either the character or the outfit.

    Perhaps worth a try?

    Hey, thanks for those possible reasons. Had already tried limits-off, negative-dial, and although it helps it still leaves an area of distortion frown

    There's Fit Control:https://www.daz3d.com/fit-control-for-genesis-and-genesis-2-male-s That should do what you want, though if you don't have a lot of G2 clothing it probably won't be worth the price tag. In that case, you could always try fixing it with Mesh Grabber, with a weight-mapped Push Modifier with a negative value, or with a smoothing modifier cranked up so it sticks to the base mesh.

    margrave, many thanks for those further suggestions. Will look into them smiley

    I do have Fit Control for the later generations - maybe I'll get it for G2 too - and I know it's a great tool for this sort of thing.
