Sexy Grim Reaper Costume for Genesis 9 and Genesis 8 / 8.1 F

Death has never looked this good. The Sexy Grim Reaper Costume is a complete, glamorous reaper look for Genesis 9 and Genesis 8 / 8.1 Female: a deep hood with a tattered shoulder mantle, a long black cloak that hangs open at the front behind the arms, a black corset with bone-shaped ivory boning, a centre busk and a small skull clasp, a short layered skirt with torn hems, thigh-high stockings with a lace welt, elbow-length fingerless gloves, a matching brief - and a tall scythe with a crescent blade and a skull on its socket, ready for her right or left hand.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Every piece is its own conforming item with smoothing and collision that follows DAZ's body shapes and the DAZ Genesis 9 / 8 characters, plus three outfit presets: the full reaper with the long cloak, a shorter 'Hooded Mantle' look without the cloak, and 'No Hood' - the long cloak without the hood. The cloak and the hood also come as dForce items with two dForce outfit presets (with and without the hood) - see DFORCE. The scythe loads into either hand and snaps into the palm with the fingers curled around the shaft on any character and pose; two hold pose presets per figure (right / left) put the arm in a natural staff grip with the scythe standing at her side.

MATERIALS
42 stackable Iray presets: velvet, satin, leather and aged leather finishes; black, crimson, deep purple and bone white; five bone / ivory accents for the boning and skull (ivory, aged bone, bleached bone, obsidian, silver bone); three metals (antique silver, gunmetal, old gold); four edge styles for the hood mantle, cloak and skirt (tattered, shredded, aged with moth holes, or clean); an optional faint ghost-glow trim along the torn edges (spectral cyan, ghost green, violet, ember red + a brighter setting); five stocking looks; scythe blades (steel, black steel, bone) and shafts (dark wood, black lacquer, bone); and five one-click looks (Classic Reaper, Crimson Reaper, Purple Wraith, Bone Queen, Ghost Reaper).

SHAPING
26 morphs: the hood larger, smaller, deeper, snug to the scalp (bald or short-haired characters), forward or back, a wider or narrower face opening, the peak higher or lower and an even mantle hem; a shorter or fuller cloak with an even hem, the skirt longer, shorter, fuller, with deeper tatters or an even hem, a looser corset with a bust option for HD characters and higher cups, looser gloves / sleeves and the stocking tops higher or lower. The dForce cloak and hood carry the same cloak and hood morphs.

DFORCE
The dForce cloak and hood + mantle simulate as heavy cloth with self-collision. Pinned (they follow her like conforming clothing): the cloak's neck band, collar and shoulder yoke, the whole hood with its pointed peak - the face opening stays open after the simulation - and the mantle over the upper arms. Free: the cloak below the shoulders and the tattered mantle over the chest and back - they drape over a seat, swing when she walks and settle on the floor around her when she kneels. Load '!Reaper Outfit dForce' (or 'dForce No Hood'), pose her, then double-click the included script 'Reaper dForce Simulate' (Simulation Settings: Current Frame, Start Bones From Memorized Pose) - it pauses the costume's smoothing while simulating, several times faster than the Simulate button. Simulation time on the test PC (RTX 4070 Ti SUPER): 20-159 s per pose (median: standing or walking 87 s, seated 90 s, kneeling 100 s). The script also leaves the scythe out of the simulation, so the cloak never snags on the shaft (with the Simulate button the scythe collides like any prop). Everything else (corset, skirt, stockings, gloves, brief) stays conforming.

NOTES
- Iray materials only.
- The scythe is a prop parented to the hand: after changing the hand pose or the character, select the character and run
'Reaper Snap Scythe To Hand' (it re-seats the scythe and curls the fingers around the shaft).
- Long hair: hide it or use 'Hood Larger' (the hood is fitted to the head with room for short or tied hair).
- dForce: load '!Reaper Outfit dForce', pose, then run 'Reaper dForce Simulate' (Current Frame, Start Bones From
Memorized Pose). Seated poses: give her a seat with 'Visible in Simulation' on.
- The character, hair, lights and environment in the promo images are not included.
