Calendar Girls for Diamond Dress

Hi everyone! I just thought I would give you a peek at one of my projects that is in the works. It is called Calendar Girls for the Diamond Dress. There are twelve textures in all. Here is January-June. If you click on the thumbs, you can see a larger image. The set will have 12 textures for the boots, stockings, dress and bracelets. I am also including 6 textures for the earrings and 8 textures for the belts, although the textures on the dress are really optimized in most cases to be used without the belt. I tried to give the dress a little bit different look from the original texture to add variety. Let me know what y'all think.

Thank you guys. You are always so encouraging! I should have mentioned that this will be for both Poser and DS. I got some great advice from Seliah when she was testing the bomber jacket textures and that led me to looking a little more closely at some of the DS settings and so after several days of playing around with shader reflections in DS, I finally got some shiny(so proud of myself ;)), so I will show my shiny DS earring texture set up for this when I get a good render, hopefully tonight, and see what y'all think.

Okay, so I had a couple of hours today to work with some stuff so I pulled this project out and worked on it a bit more. Keeping in mind, this is kind of a big project, with lots of parts so it is quite a ways from being finished at this point. Calender girls2.jpg Here is July, August and September.

Thanks ladies. I hope to have the next three set up well enough to show them next week. We will see. It is kind of a busy week and right now I am just taking a few minutes to do a fun render. I have all the actual textures done, but they are not fully set up in a program for rendering. I think the final set will have 12 dresses, 12 bracelet tex, 12 boot tex, 12 stocking sets, 6 belt textures and 6 earring sets.

How'd you miss this, Ken ? :) Cool to have someone doing textures for one of your outfits, isn't it?

Indeed, i didn't recognize the outfit at first. Materiais are such an important factor. ^^

I didn't realize it was your outfit at first either Ken. A different take on texturing turns an outfit into something completely different in more instances than you would think.
