I guess it's probably about time for me to start one of these. I have a couple of freebie items in the works right now. I was finally able to get the christmas sweater converted over to Dawn and Dusk recently; I just have to get them packaged up and I'll be able to release them.
@sanbie Whenever you get around to seeing this - should I be submitting the Dawn/Dusk conversions over to the site where the Genesis ones are available? Or should I just put them up on my own site?
---------------------
Also, in the last day or two, I've been playing around in Blender with a couple of basic clothing items for Diva. I think they would probably work on Dawn just fine, but I am building them around Diva's shape.
I am NOT going to do Poser rigging. Sorry, but that is way over my head, especially as I'm just now still learning how to model clothing and UVmap it as it is. I will try to maybe get a dynamic version for the Poser side, but I am not rigging for Poser.
So... at the moment, I've got the very basic shapes roughed out. I'm laying out the material zones at this stage, and then I'll move into doing the more detailed modeling.
My goal with these, is to get something that can have a myriad of uses, so that is why they have SO many different material zones. On the pants, the zipper, waistband, and each pocket are their own material zones. Likewise, you'll see that there's a lot of length options for making everything from shorts to jeans with.
A note on the material zones at the ankles - these will, in their final form, be a single mat zone, as it makes no sense to me to have the ankles each a separate zone when the rest of the leg zones cover both legs. I have the ankles separated at the moment so that I can work on them a little easier. When it's done, the ankles will be their own mat zone together, just like the rest of the leg zones are.
And this is the start on the shirt for Diva as well. I'm still laying out material zones, but the turtleneck, waistband, and sleeve zones are finalized in terms of where they all will be. This is, again, being done with the intention to make the set as versatile as possible for people to use. Shirts especially come with all kinds of sleeve lengths and styles, so these are the basic lengths that I laid out to accommodate that and limit how much need there will be for things like opacity maps.
I have not yet begun the detail modeling; these are just the roughed out shapes. Once I have all the material zones laid out, I'll move onto the more detailed work.
And yes; these will all be freebies. They are not my primary focus at the moment, but it's something I'm working on in the background, in between my store projects.
