Morphing Fantasy Dress for Dawn

[Miss B]

Yes, I've not mastered that yet. I always wondered if you start with that and work outwards, or just work up from the hem, and then separate the mesh in the area of each breast and work on it afterwards. I never could figure out the best method.

Not in ZBrush, it's a bit more automatic. There is a "brush" for drawing out the circularity you want and then remesh the whole thing using the "remesher" tool and whalah you have a piece of geometry with the concentric spiral in place. This is something I do after I have most of the modeling done and I'm down to that and the material zone creation part of the process.

This is a texture artist's dream come true!! LOL There is a dress at Rendo that is almost the same name as the one at Daz, but shrug you could call it Dawn's Morphing Fantasy Dress, but yeah shoot it off Lisa and see what she thinks about it.

I'm sure Chris could model something really fast like this too but this is made at least but like Earl I have a hell of a time rigging and weight mapping so clothing is not my favorite thing to make, it's allot of work once the modeling is done. Texturing is pretty easy for me but yea, the rigging + is NO FUN for this Wolffie!

Have you ever considered making it dynamic? Considering the style/shape of the dress and the robe/cape (full bottom), you could easily do that. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the rigging. ~hint, hint~

 

[RAMWolff]

I may run it through the dynamic thingamabober I have in DS and see what happens! lol

 

[Miss B]

Well, if you want someone to run it through the Poser Cloth Room, let me know.

You could get some gorge movement on that if it were dynamic!! Not my forte, but I'm learning!!
