Hey Chris, are you literally piecing all these back together and stitching them? Your a master at this. Did that for a set of gloves I was struggling to make for La'Femme and then they told me use her base to make them but I already had the Catsuit made, so chopped off my home made gloves and got her hands and stitched them on and with some wizardry remeshed JUST the catsuit to get them to mesh better and then had to re UV the whole thing. I went an easy way with it though as I had a TON of cleanup work to do after the stitching.... bloody mess! :p

Yeah, UV work can be a challenge, sure takes patience I've found.

Still on it, and progressing on UVs.

Chris, I believe you'd mentioned that the collar was folded over (front and back to the collar). Is that also the case with the overlapping front of the shirt?

Yes, that is true to a point. The left and right sides of the shirt are the same on the base. The underside of the front has about an inch worth of geometry extended. With a morph I created a buttoned up look, and a variety of others as shown below. However, when the shirt is fully open and underside is exposed, that will rely on seeing the underside of the texture map to see. Does that make sense?

First morph in button up position.

Open morph.

Blown open morph with inside of shirt geometry showing reversed faces just to show inside mesh better. But this would rely on seeing the back side of any textures to see in a render.

OK, it's been 10 days. Does this mean that Dawn 2.0 is getting readied for release?

Been working on another exciting project not yet ready for prime time. Wow, going to be sweet!! That's all I have to say about that for now.

But... back to the shirt UVs. Almost done now. Just the left side end of the sleeve and buttons to do, then onto the other clothing items which will go much faster I promise.

Bald-faced hornets? Aren't those the black and white ones? I almost included those in my set but decided volume 1 should be "yellowy" ones

Haste makes waste! Don't rush just because people are waiting. They'll wait a little longer in order to get the quality they're used to! I think I speak for most of the folks here.
