Somethign like a modern version of DecalMaster would be superb. There are so many times I want to add my own lettering to clothing and props but can't. There is a process, I've seen a demo of it, but its rather long and complex. I'd rather have a modern version of something that will work with the new versions of DS.
Pretty please?

You could always type your text into photoshop or something similar, save it as a png with transparent background, then use the LIE image editor in Daz to overlay the text image on the material you want.
http://www.daz3d.com/winterbrose has several items that might be what you're looking for.
[Create]->[New Iray Decal Node]
Position it close to the surface, add an image to the "Base Color" of the front "surface"...
Play around with the settings to taste. (Drop it into the object for persistance. Drop to the right bone for correct weighting.)
Could also do "UVW" projection, but that is tough to align.
Included is a sample of a DAZ logo on a shirt that does not have a "logo" spot in the UVW mapping. It is essentially projected across the surface with a higher layer-priority in rendering.
