Lab Coat

Those Things

Looking for a normal, everyday scientist's lab coat, that will work with dForce. If it dForces out of the box, that's great, but of course I don't mind slapping on a modifier is someone knows an older product that works well. A regular coat that would work as a lab coat if I made it white, would work too.

I think these are the best I can find

But you will likely get a problem with the buttons if simulated, unless you change them to own objects and attach them with rigid follwer nodes.

dForce Fashion Sophisticate Outfit https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-fashion-sophisticate-outfit-for-genesis-8-females has a coat. If you set the style to short and the colout to white it make quite a good lab coat. See attached image for an example.

Here are some product that I have in my DB, either from daz or from rendo. Only the first one is explictely dforce, but I have no simulation experience with it.

There's this at Renderosity https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/doctors-lab-coat-for-gen-3-gen-8-females/124118/

It's not set up for dForce, and the buttons are a surface area layered on top of the coat body, so heaven only knows how it will take dForce.

This freebie takes dForce, but you'll have to either make the buttons invisible or do some weight-mapping:

Really liking that first one. Any idea how well it works on a male figure?

Thanks for all the responses everyone. Had no idea a dForce lab coat was something that was missing from the collection. I guess if there's any PAs out there looking for an idea, here you go!

Not bad at all. Wish is had more of a collar/lapels, but might do in a pinch.

I've used X-Fashion Trench Coat for Genesis 8 Female(s) | Daz 3D (with the material colour changed to white) as a lab-coat. I have no idea how well it works with dForce though.

I've used these two lab coats by Wilmap on a book cover.

Wilmap’s Mad Scientist Coat for Genesis – Citsa and Ossy [background]

Wilmap’s Doctor’s Coat for G2F - Adia [red hair]

The two male figures' coats in the foreground are just the bodysuit I used colored white. Same as the Zheien holding Adia's wrists. This was the M4 Epsilon outfit, which I had to manipulate to Genesis, then convert to G8M, and used two different converters, which you aren't supposed to do to get good results. This render is from 2018 so I have better converters, but the file can't find all the stuff I put in there and I didn't feel up to redoing the entire mess. I'm 64 and disabled, so, health happens LOL.

Hope this is helpful!

I found two Marvelous Designer medical coats on the Artstation marketplace that both work well for male and female Daz figures.

I need one for G8M.

@TheDoctor: ok, but how hard/easy is it to get those into Daz when you are not an artist/designer?

The Rendo thing is _somewhat_ usable but all in all they all don't provide the qualitites of a lab coat, like being thin, bit silky, almost bordering on transparency (ok that can all be done in shaders IF! the mat zones are right) but somewhat rigid: lab coats have a bit of stiffness, and in the ones we see the typcial large pockets are just texture elements and bend with the main fabric. 

Then trims: trims need to be more rigid for sim and slightly more opaque, give a thicker look, so that requires a mat zone, the collar needs to be no-nonsens, the shoulder part need to have a bit of edge. The seams need to be visible and possible have bump.
A good lab coat look depends on a lot of details, and the ones we find all are "just coats" that cling to the character like any old cardigan.
