Hai Gan's WIP

[Lyne]

Diverted short-term into playing with dynamic cloth. Do people use it much for clothing? Does anyone have any comments on its use in DS (as I am almost entirely a Poser user)? Would people use it for Dusk?

This is what I've been playing with. If I get it to a stage where I'm happy with it, I'll put it up as a freebie.

That shirt looks nice Hai Gan. The pose in the first one reminds me of Shakespeare, specifically Romeo & Juliet.

So cute Haigan...

That shirt looks great, and I would say is exactly the sort of thing dynamics is made for. I know not everyone likes it, but I tend to love dynamic cloth for many things. I'm just never happy with my ability to pose extra bones on things that hang/drape. For instance, one of the great things about your shirt is the loose sleeves and even if you rigged them so that they could hang loosely, I don't think they'd ever bee quite right. But they drape beautifully.

Yes, I've never been really happy with conforming clothing that OUGHT to drape, fold and flow, although some are better than others. I know some people tried hybrid clothing- conforming where it's close-fitting, dynamic where it's drape-y- but I have no direct experience of it.

I WANT!!!! Poser only here...

Poser's easy. Figuring out how to get stuff into a format DS will consider using as dynamic cloth? Not so much! Got to tidy up the material zones/names and neaten that lace edge on the 'Shakespeare shirt', and it may be time to consider releasing it into the wild. Needs pants to go with it though, those aren't nearly ready yet.

It's here! Hopefully I got all the right bits in all the right places, but let me know if I missed a file path or something.

Fantastic!

I need a sunhat for a project, and figure I could make it available as a prop once I'm done, if anyone's interested? It fits Diva at the moment. The hair is part of the prop- I think it needs more curls around the forehead, so I'll add those. Plus it needs a cute hat texture, naturally. It also needs a decent texture and transmap for the hair. I'm not good at hair textures (as you can see)! Could anyone help with the hair tex/trans please?

 

[Dakorillon (IMArts)]

That is so cute!

 

[Miss B]

Yes, very cute HaiGan.

cute little hat haigan

 

[Pendraia]

Very cute...I'm still learning to do hair so I'm not as good as you are.

 

[HaiGan]

Yep... I'm really, really bad at hair textures! Works fine for a toon effect, but otherwise? Meh.

 

[Pendraia]

I like the floral hat!
