Z29-APEX Gear (Grid Interloper) for Genesis 9
By Zakiel29 - August 2026

■ INTRODUCTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspired by my previous set, "The Grid Interloper," I wanted to design a series of standalone props to complete and expand this character's gear. While they were built to perfectly complement The Grid Interloper, these items are completely independent, meaning you can mix and match them with any outfit in your library.
Expanding on the original concept, I envisioned these pieces as specialized high-tech equipment—the kind of tactical gear a operative moving through the shadows (a rogue hacker, stealth thief, or cyberpunk hitman) would rely on for high-stakes operations.
Whether you pair them with their original counterpart or integrate them into other wardrobe pieces, these props give you complete freedom to build your own unique shadow operative.

■ INCLUDED ITEMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The package includes 7 Wearables and Smart Props for Genesis 9:
○ APEX Hood (dForce Ready)
○ APEX Helmet
○ APEX Neck
○ APEX Neck (dForce Helper Collider)
○ APEX Backpack
■ MORPHS & ADJUSTMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
○ All items include dedicated fit-adjustment morphs as well as styling morphs
to alter the overall silhouette and aesthetic of the pieces.
■ dFORCE FUNCTIONALITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
○ The APEX Hood is dForce-enabled. It functions well as standard conforming
clothing without running dynamic simulations; however, dForce support is
included for more complex poses.
○ NOTE: Weighting and dynamic settings were applied selectively to preserve
the hard-surface structure of the design and prevent glitches during
simulation calculations.
