Modeling and painting a Tank top for Daz Genesis female 2 (aka VaM model) - Simple guide

Hello everyone, this is a tutorial on how I make my clothes.
The programs I use are
Marvelous Designer/ Clo3d
Adobe Substance Painter
Blender (for off camera retouching)
Daz 3D

Getting the Avatar
There are 2 ways to get the avatar, one is through Vam and the other is through Daz.

Using Daz is simply exporting the Genesis 2 female model, in this mode the model has more density, which is useful when using the highest physics in Marvelous Designer (but requires more resources).

The method...

Hi Blaspheratus! Thank U for your guide first.

I came across some issues while paintng textures.
When importing the .obj from Clo3D to substance painter, the UV maps go wrong. (I have not re-topo the .obj in any other software
Specifically, my clothing has different patterns (about 12) in clo3D, but in substance painter, they are merged as two patterns shown in UV maps--- the front one & the back one. ( I am pretty sure that the auto-unwrap is unchecked in SP.

Do you have any clue about this?
 
Hi, I'm glad you found the guide helpful.

Make sure that the UVs are aligned in Clo3d and non overlaping.I use marvelous designer, but I guess it is the same or very similar in Clo3D.

In this project I created 3 types of fabrics (materials) and set them to UV 0-1, when exporting I make 4 exports, one complete for SP and the other 3 separate to be able to edit in blender.

And should look like this in SP

In this project the uv are not aligned, and will give problems in SP, the easiest way is to adjust the pattern in the 2D window, in the UV window, ResetUV to 2D arrangement and then Fit ALL Uv to 0-1.

You can choose any pattern and do this, this is useful when you only have one material and it is a set, for example this:

I hope this was helpful, this was one of the first mistakes I made (and sometimes I still forget to adjust the UV 😅), if this is not the case, please send Clo3d and/or SP screenshots so I can see it better.

thx! This is a note-worthy point.

And actually I just found my stupid carelessness🤣

The thing is that I have set 4 materials in Clo3D.
And they were divided into 4 texture sets in SP. The texture set list window was too small that I missed the left 3 ones🤡
 
Hi @Blaspheratus !
Awesome guide.

Quick question, how would you take existing VAM clothing and import it into Substance3D Painter?
I am looking to see if I can paint some better sim textures for some clothing items.

I guess it's not possible at the moment, most likely Meshdvr uses a special format when importing clothes for Vam the .Vab file, so they can't (so easily XD) steal content from the creators or because of licensing issues. I am not a software engineer to reverse engineer and convert clothes.
I hope they will release a tool to import clothes for Vam 2.
