What I would really like to see is one of those elaborate wedding dresses with a veil and a lot of lace, as well as the train.

    and after my run in with the bow dress bow, and the excruciating render time with it in lace...

    There is also issues with the max number of layers light can go threw (or bounce off) with Daz studio. I read somewhere with a mirror test, that even with it set higher, it stopped making duplicates of the test cube, at about six (i think).

    As long as you have only one layer of lace there is no problem ...

    All iterations pf the MFD can use the same texture maps. What has happened is that when things have been updated to reflect the addition of the Genesis MFDs they have managed to leave the other, older ones off. I did query this on one set and was assured that the textures will still be usable on all versions (except SP3 version and that has always had a different mapping). So this will work with V3, V4 etc up to Genesis 2F.

    Can we have a dog-collared vicar to perform the ceremony as well, please? He could show up at funerals, christenings and Sunday church services too :)

    If you'd like a couple of other options for the MFD, take a look at these:

    "Wedding for V4 MFD" by perlk
    http://www.sharecg.com/v/48804/

    "Weddings for MFD" by Anniebel
    http://www.sharecg.com/v/24175/

    (Note that the Genesis version of the MFD wasn't out when these were released, so it isn't mentioned in the descriptions.)

    EvilInnocence has a "L33T Wedding Dress" for Aiko 3, F202 Dollie, Kiki, MayaDoll/AnimeDoll, Preteen Girl, Victoria 3, and Victoria 4 - and it's free. Check evilinnocence.com for the appropriate download. I've attached a quick-and-dirty render of the Victoria 4 version.

    The downside to all of these is the lack of a train...

    A trick to keep in mind - you can create geoshells of the MFD and expansion pieces to layer different lace and textures on top of each other.

    there are also sets like Happily Ever After - http://www.daz3d.com/happily-ever-after-for-v4,

    ...I've also used Fayre along with a few add ons for a more fanciful wedding dress.

    We still need a "classic" veil though..

    There's also Trousseau for V4 and Trousseau for G2F. Don't think either of them has a train morph, though. And yeah, a veil is desperately needed. The old morphing veil for V3 from RDNA is more than showing its age. I've been asking about a cathedral veil (one of the big, long things) for ages, but I think the market is, shall we say, severely limited. Plus it would be a monster to render if it were done as either tulle or lace. (The RDNA veil is solid, but it's also really meant to be medieval.)

    Going how many generations back, medieval in more then one way, :lol: . Sorry couldn't resist. As for the MFD, I don't use that very often, because it is a bear to convince to do anything that is not T-pose style standing. V4 items like hare tends to have 'Stay on the head' issues on G2F because of the changes in XYZ rotations. And going back to generation 3 stuff, I cringe at the thought. It's why I hate using that beautiful red and black curly hair on FW Yasmin.

    "O" where was that thought I was on [grabs a cup of coffee], Posing a train. yea right, Just try posing a conforming skirt and keep it out of the figure and floor with some dance poses. It is near impossible if there not standing upright lol. Dynamic stuff requires making an animation just to make some of the 'medieval' outfits function (stay on the figure) with the current generation. And there is that slide on the floor trick for the train, I don't think it can be done in an animation, or with steps. I do not think the op truly understands just how near impossible posing a train is. Khory has a Renascence princess dress of sorts that is close, and it requires tricks to stay out of a large flat floor/ground (like all Optitex stuff dose).

    I spent all day, working on the one Evaleene Outfit yesterday, and I have two more skirts still to work on. This is a scene that will top the Lucem Signifer scene with the total number of D-Forms. http://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/41199

    Chohole's Rhoswen, and Vanora. There's a though... My coffee cup is broken, I need to fix the hole in the top of the cup, it keeps leaking out of, lol. brb.

    Rhoswen and Vanora. I see a bit of cloth that drags there. It is NOT ridiculously long, and probably barely manageable for posing.

    I was thinking of possibly putting a Lace shader on what appeared to be a train, Tho I'm not seeing the zones to even add a train???? For that matter, where are the puffy sleeves?

    To answer my own question searching 'MFD' is not correct.

    The train is in the expansion pack 2, I am not sure if there is one for the genesis MFD version. I know that there is an expansion pack 1

    This is the V4 one http://www.daz3d.com/v4-mfd-expansion-pack-2

    Yea, I was looking in the wrong place, lol. And the over skirt thing, is a single zone, so it would be allot of work putting a lace shader on it. Still, I think it looks good. It looks as if that one zone has a seam line in it on the side (look at how the ankhs go at a angle and are cut off), That may be possible for some one far more advanced then me to split out as separate zones.

    Posing, I haven't looked at that yet.

    ...hmmm....for some reason never got the expansion pack 2 for the G2F MFD.

    Here is what I came up with playing with the fabricator and Fayre.

    Created a white map for the gossamer Overskirt which I added a bit of gold to in the diffuse channel

    That looks really good Kyoto Kid. And thanks for the links Kerya. I only have the three bits of the MFD sets that I know of, and they do not include those.

    I still have doubts about a morph based pose system for handling a train on the steps to the platform. At best, it would be limiting to what you could do with the size and shape of the platform, and where she is standing in the render. And I have yet to see anything like that posing-add-on, that add bones to something, lol.

    I had seen one such rework ported from Poser to Studio (a pleated skirt), they remove bones from the thing, removing my reason for me wanting it in the first place, lol.

    Unless the bones were set up like Sickleyield's "The Constrictor", I just don't see being able to use a long train. And it would still need a ton of PBM's to adjust height depending on the leg positions, and allot more pose dials... bla :sick: Doing Dynamic manually, Forget that! lol.
    (EDIT)
    Let me dig a bit more, there was nasty poke-threw somewhere on FW Eve with that dress, that limited what I could do (along time ago), it may have been my lack of knowing what I was doing then.

    If you want a train to drape down a platform or stairs you might find using something from the DS dynamics range will work perhps the long skirt train from this set

    yep, That is in a mountain of stuff I've yet to mess with.
    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewreply/795942/
    I just don't feel like using an animated drape, just to fit the thing, lol. And I'm not sure what the op is actually looking for. Generation 3, 4, 5, 6?

    I'm just uttering random thoughts about the request for such a long train. And looking at some outfit possibilities.

    ...there is a new wedding dress available at Renderosity (sorry cannot link to it).

    "Spring Bride Gown for Genesis 2 Female(s)".

    While the promo uses the toon figure Dolly it should fit any G2F figure. It also included leg poses and skirt handles.

    Wishlisted it myself

    Nice to see so much interest in bridal gowns. The OP is likely referring to those incredibly ornate gowns from the late 80's to early 90's. They where amazing and (believe it or not) still available for next to nothing from eBay. I've purchased a few to use as patterns for a dress and photograph the embroidery and ornamentation for bump maps and textures. Progress is slow due to real life commitments getting in the way of fun stuff, but if any content creator would like to use my maps, pictures, scans and whatnot then please PM me. I don't even want money or credit, I'd just like to see a proper traditional gown (and veil made).

    Better yet, it looks like there's going to be a matching tux as well. :)

    The Enchanted Dreams gown from RDNA ( http://www.runtimedna.com/Enchanted-Dreams.html ) makes a nice boufant style gown in white. It really just needs a looong and wide veil that includes the blusher.
