Awesome
thy look great hunx
okay so it's not clothing but since I don't have very many skins for Dawn I needed to give it a whirl and see what I could come up with. I converted my old V4 merchant resource that I sold over at Render and fiddled around with EZSkin and I think it came out rather nice.
I love the tunic set for Dusk! Also the skirt and top for Dawn are amazing!
was going through my backlog of Silo files and found something I made for Dusk. Forgot I even made this, now if I can figure out how to fix "skirts" in DS I might get around to working on this outfit.
Oh, gosh, I hope you can figure it out, Shelly. I am loving that already! That is a great overall cloth design because it could be fantasy OR sci-fi all depending on the textures in use. Heck, I could even turn the tunic and pants into a nice quasi-Chinese outfit, if I wanted to. And if I made a transmap, I could make the boots into flat/lower shoes, too.
Yeah, I like that outfit, too.
Yeah, I need to start making some clothing for Dusk, maybe something along the basic line like I am doing for Dawn, but kind of hard to work with since he didn't come with any projection templates like Dawn did. I need to figure out how to make some if possible before I journey into his clothing.
Yeah, I understand totally. I have managed to make a couple of shirts and one pair of pants for him, even without the projection templates. But I sure wouldn't want to try and conform anything that has a skirt/tunic type of bottom to it without the templates, either.
I know there's a way to make our own projection templates and clones, I just can't remember where the instructions were or how to do it...
Yep, I will probably ping her later on down the road. I still want to try and get that Genesis sweater converted over to Dusk and Dawn, and maybe Luna if I can manage it.
Actually Lorraine has done more on projection templates than I have...from memory she set up the bodysuit that comes with Dusk as a template. Essentially to create templates you need a mesh which has been weightmapped and it needs to be of a good quality. The original ones that came with Genesis were low poly but the ones that came with Genesis 2 had more polys and did a much better job especially with skirts. Essentially when you use a template you are copying the weight mapping from the template to the new mesh. Paul has some info on it somewhere which actually explains the process.
