Someone requested these so I made them. Took way longer to do given the OBJ export issues out of Blender.
Made a few basic designs and included the UV layout as usual.
2022-03-27 01:23:58 +0000 UTC View PostSeems the newly updated Blender messes up the UI so now I can't turn on symmetry. It's annoying but can work around it.
The big problem is the export options for OBJ. Just noticed that the vertex groups needed by DAZ to get custo...

Just a small item with a couple Iray textures.
2022-03-16 00:29:32 +0000 UTC View Post
Made these today. I managed to learn a couple interesting tricks to get some increased detail in the textures.
This was designed around Genesis 8 Male and Female and should accommodate a lot of shapes.
Here is a complete referee outfit for both male and female figures. Had to tweak the female outfit to prevent bleed through.
Has tie, shirt, gloves, trousers, socks and shoes.
Provided the UV layout for customizations.

One big one is suddenly the socks poke through the shoes. Not doing it in Blender, but it is in Painter, so not sure what's going on there.
Also the button on the pants shifted. Had planned to do a belt but decided against it. &n...

I recently finished tweaking this. Had been a requested item and so finally remember I had this. I threw in a couple escrima sticks as props (and they'll likely have to be parented to the appropriate hand).
Here it is. It's broken into two pieces (top and tights) and comes with two designs.
UV layout provided for further customizations.
