Herewith a conforming vest of a Victorian design for DAZ3D's Michael 4 figure. Dials are included in the BODY actor for various character-type morphs. Three fit morphs are also included in the BODY so that you can fit the vest over your favorite pants as well as helping extreme backward arm movement. There are 14 complete material poses included.

This vest is meant to be worn without a shirt (the Vicotrians would frown on this), sexy goth-style. It has a loose "adjustment" strap hanging in the back--it's not rigged or morphed, don't try to move it. Also, the vest is not made to open. You are buttoned up!

The included Poser materials are .MC6 files and won't clutter up your Pose directory. If you know how to use the Poser materials room, you can copy things such as the vest backs and buttons and buckles from one texture to another very easily. ;) There are four material groups.

TO USE:

Unzip to your Poser directory and everything should go into the proper folders. With M4 in your scene, go to the Character file in the "Cool Tuna M4" folder, and load and conform the vest figure. In Poser, use the Scripts Menu->Partners->D3D->Copy Values script to copy the values of your character into the vest to fit it. I didn't make it superconforming because that would leave you unable to tweak the fit.


A texture template is included in the Textures folder for the ambitious. The UVs are fairly flat, so if you want to do decals or suchlike, it should be pretty easy. A "dirt" tile is included as well as a reflection map if you want to fool around with those and get more neat effects. Examining the vest front materials will show you how to use those.

None of this is tested in Studio, which I do not own and do not want, thanks for asking.

This was created using Silo, Modo, Poser Pro2012, Photoshop CS6, FilterForge, and various Dimension3d tools (yay!). Metals are from Minyassa's excellent packages (Rendo Marketplace) and from SnarlyGribbly's EZMetals free package. The suede is a BagginsBill formula. Thank you BB and Snarly and Minyassa!
