Project: Ghost Body SuitTools used: 3d Scan, 3DSMax, ZBrush, Photoshop
So i want to sew a ghost body suit, that fits ME perfectly. I was lucky enough to get a 3d scan of myself so...
1. I took a clean version of that mesh into ZBrush, i tried my best to clean up the clothing lines in the mesh. I painted on the seam lines i am gonna use.
2. Using the masking tool, i outlines each pattern piece and then extracted the mesh. I then decimated the hell out of the mesh so i could...
3&4. Port it into 3dsMax. I flatted the UVs on those meshes, and you can see my UV outline on the body suit
5. The UVs!
6. The outlines for those UV elements, this step is gonna need a bit more clean up before i print it out and turn it into a pattern.
what's next! printing, cutting fabric, sewing it all up! I found some EL wire and some other cool stuff i might use to make this light up. we shall see!! ^_^

I am having such a good time with this.
HEYYYYYY can i have your scan data for male-costume purposes?
like, i'd love to have the ability to do some complicated stuff for guys, but i lack the data.

Hey!
I can give you my scandata...but the only issue is that all I have is scan data of my head.
Your of course more than welcome to it,but I'm not sure that's gonna help you with creating any male costumes.
...Maybe some male masks of head pieces...now,that sounds pretty interesting too. 
If you still want it,message me your email so i can send it.

BAH, i was hoping for some body scan data
when i begin modeling stuff for art and not for costumes, i will ping you for your data. i really liked that character you made of yourself. it's way awesome.

I am suddenly imagining the tailors of the future. Forget measuring tapes. Step through the scanner and... *brain shorts out and smoke rises from ear holes*

When I was a kid I imagined you'd step into a hoop, pull it up, and you'd be in a superhero type outfit.

This looks awesome! All the work that went in seems to be really worth it, and is pretty impressive. I wish you much luck in making the physical costume and can't wait to see when it's done!
It's work like this that makes you stand out as an amazing cosplayer to me. =] This, and the fact that you always rock what you make. Huzzah!

I'm sure it'll kick ass. =] Have ya put any thoughts into making the gun too?
