Playing with different poses and settings as the normal map seems a bit high.

Thanks! I created it some time back for Gen8fem. I'll stick it up on ShareCG when I've got it set up.
I always meant to. I'm too easily distracted...

Looking Good!!! It's always nice when you find a neat trick or two to make things easier. :D

Yes it is. I'm off the computer for now as I have a baby dress to finish for my new niece who is 2 weeks old.

Thanks Kerya, I was wondering where they had got to. Glitterati has said I can do what I want with the freebies for diva. So I'm going to try and convert them to Luna.

So I saw a post by Earl for a skating dress in another thread and got distracted again. The mesh is really basic and needs a lot more work and I want to do another skirt to go over the top. I think I've developed adhd since I had covid...I can't stay focused on one thing.

I'd forgotten how easy it is to lose time in Zbrush. I now have a basic mesh and overskirt. Needs a lot more detail in zbrush and also to have a uv done. I'm thinking it could be textured as a skating dress or a fairy outfit.
Waistband will be a separate surface on the final mesh so I can turn dforce off. Both dress and overskirt have been simulated using dforce in Daz Studio.

After posting a deleting two posts in the wrong thread let's try again...
I've been playing in zbrush looking at old files to see what I still have to finish.
Found this dress for dawn

Also found a very old project that was before dforce. First image is what can go wrong...other images are with the pants mesh fixed.

I kind of like the concept of no seam on the outside I might have to play with it a bit further. No uv on this one...

Last one for today...

an anime outfit that I was working on for Sora years ago. Another one I really need to finish. At least now with being retired I'll have more time.

All been sitting there waiting to be finished. At the time I started them I was working though and didn't have a lot of time. I'm going to need to work out a priority list of what to do first and it's likely that there are other projects that I haven't looked at yet. I still have the dress for dawn 2 to finish but until it's released I can't finalise just in case the rigging has been changed since Chris sent me a copy. It will keep me busy...

I know, everyone's waiting for her final version so they can finish up the projects they have for her.
