The Open Cave

Question: will more feminine attire ever be available here? After all, you're in a cave, only a maintainer suit can really protect you: baggy hiking shorts don't help in a cave-in.

It's not like I'm asking for a posh frock: just something simple, like Catherine's blouse from Riven, just longer so it's a tunic dress (cut out the shoulder pads and it will be perfect). Then the options of tights/leggings instead of slacks.

Possible?

new actual clothing is possible IF you know how to make new clothes in 3D modelling programs.
Doing a re-texture on the T-Shirts is easy (if I can do it, it must be easy), but actually making new clothes? not so easy, I think.

That doesn't mean it can't be done ... but it would take someone who knows what they are doing, to make it work.

I honestly have not seen someone modeling clothing like this for URU yet. Besides the clothing system is a bit messy.
Yes, it is possible but it is HARD.

I understand hard... Real clothing is hard. The work done by seamstresses is not widely appreciated.

What i am asking about here, is to copy and modify the copies of existing clothing.

How hard is that?

As far as tights, one could get away with deleting the pants entire and putting colour on the legs.

I would really like tights.

I'm sorry if I lost you there, but I thought (viewing your examples) that we are talking about creating new clothing. What would you have in mind to copy?

Btw, if, by modifying, you mean making changes to the model itself, that's gonna be quite the same as creating a new model because you cannot easily get the existing clothing models and the clothing is not just one model but several more as you can change the avatar from skinny to fat and every millimeter has to be in the right position or your final avatar will look awful.

To make a tshirt or Catherine's tunic longer, about mid-thigh is what i has in mind. Somehow i thought copying & modifying would be easier than creating from scratch... But. No worries. Every millimetre in the right place: just like real life. We just take it for granted.

Learned what i came to learn... Will need to develop a higher level of skill before volunteering for this one.

Nellie,
My wife is a dress and costume maker, so I do know something of the skills required. A wiser man than me once characterised dressmaking as the construction of three-dimensional structures, often load-bearing, using two-dimensional materials with a variety of flexibility and stretch. To which I would add that the customer is only interested in how it looks. But I digress (and I'm really good at it )

The Uru wardrobe separates upper and lower body options, so a tunic or dress is a huge challenge. Skirts are more likely, but even here Cyan chose not to include any such options in the set, at least partly because modelling their behaviour during walking, running, climbing, jumping and falling is much more challenging than for trousers.

Working with what we've got, a sufficiently talented programmer may be able to start from the shorts and create something that would work. I expect it would exhibit Supergirl-skirt tendencies (drooling fanboys want to know WHY her skirt NEVER blows around in the wind, even when she's coming in to land !) and still need a lot of work to look reasonable in animation. But it would be a new class of clothing, something that had to be created from scratch. Such programmers are not easy to find.

Hallo Mystler.
Zuerst mal ein dickes Lob für Eure super Arbeit . TOC-Moul ist mittlerweile zu meinem Lieblingsshard geworden.
Ich weiss wieviel Zeitaufwand und Engagement Euch das Projekt abverlangt. Daher mal die vorsichtige Frage:

Gilt das Angebot mit den eigenen Shirts noch ? Ich würde gerne ein Shirt für die German NULPs in TOC haben.
Wie sieht es mit den Farben aus ? Wenn ich die Datei in grau lasse, kann man die Farbe des Shirts dann ändern ?
Eure Erlaubnis vorausgesetzt habe ich einfach mal Euer TOC-Logo mit benutz. Ich hoffe Ihr gestattet das

Hier sind meine Entwürfe:

Für die Dame:



und für den Herrn:



Es wäre toll, wenn meine Idee bei Euch Anklang finden würde.

Grüsse und Shorah

Hi, ich nehme mich der Sache gern an. Falls du du das Design mit Photoshop oder GIMP gemacht hast, wäre es Klasse, wenn du mir die Projektdatei (PSD) zukommen lassen könntest. Das würde mir die Nachbearbeitung erleichtern.

SUUUUper und vielen Dank Mystler. Hab Dir grad ne PN geschickt mit den Downloadlinks der PSD-Dateien

hello, everyone. is this offer still valid ? i sent a PM to Opa. got no reply yet.
