G-suit help

peteStoppel

I need help with a product i bought, tried to contact the author to no avail so maybe someone can help me here.

The G-suit in DAZ looks fine but when I export it and open in Sketchup the face, hands and feet are all covered by the suit unlike the way it is in Daz, what gives?

The G-suit covers the entire figure. In D/S various mat presets hide/show various sections of it.

Oh, I wanted the suit to look like the image (except for a heavy body) nowhere does it say it covers the entire body, is there a way to export just the body parts and not feet ands and head bits?

I am new to this.

G-Suit for Genesis does show that it covers the full body, check the image on the promo page for the Material Zones.

It's a bit of work but if you want a static prop of it, fix it up in the position you want, send it over the bridge to Hexagon. Select all the parts you don't want and delete them. Send it back over the bridge to D/S. Select the Geometry Editor tool, open the tool pane, find the default surfaces with "0" assignments and right-click on that line in the tool pane and remove them. Go back to the arrow tool or whatever, select the items for export and export. ANYTHING showing in D/S will likely be included in the export. So hide or remove any figures or props NOT to be exported.

If this all is truly not going to work for your project and if the purchase was made within the past 30 days, you can put in a Custom Service ticket [via Help at the top the page] and politely request a store credit or refund. [store credits I think tend to be faster because they don't involve a multitude of middlemen organizations -- and we do tend to shop some more]. If purchases triggered any sales though, it can be cheaper to just keep the item as those sale prices would also be lost and then monies owing ;-)

btw - if you have Sketchup you can export out those models as .obj files and import them into Daz Studio ;-)

Depending upon how they are made they may or not require some more modeling work but then we have Hexagon [free now too].

Okay.

Another idea, render the images in D/S to a clear .png background and then layer them to whatever images you're rendering in Sketchup, in an image editor such as G.I.M.P. or PaintShopPro or Photoshop or ? works with layers.

Problem is I need several different poses and used within an animation for a game show, so that will not work, I'll head over to the Poser site and see if there is a bodysuit I can use.
