... hey where are that lazy pilots if I need one ...
Hey Morkonan ... superb work with the suit ... :thumbupboth:
Also the lace and the piping is well done. For a close up the piping is perfect and for far away pictures even a much bigger piping wouldn't be seen. So I would stay with this.
Only a small critic point ... comparing to the blueprint http://ufoseries.com/artofufo/ellis.jpg
I would suggest that the abdomen strip comes to the hip with a elliptical curve like on the front and not with a more sharp edge like you did. Ok, its not well seen on the blueprint cause wearing a skirt in back view, but approximating the curves from the top down tends me to a more rounded version.
In the same sence I would give the back part at the side laces the same design as the front part. So not rounded but with a straight line and two sharper edges. I think this is also more physical correct with pulling the lace tight it's better to do this with two nearly parallel cloth sides, what do you mean ??
The suit fits super tight for sure, but this could cause problems if using the wooly underwear. To get the real stripy effect I had to use Displacement especialy in closeup's and that means the displacement might than poke through in the render (not seen in preview).
Ok, for far shoots I see no problem than it can be made with bumpmap only, that means the polygons stay behind the line ... :closedeyes:
For the boots you need not to worry ... I'm making some trans and bump maps for the boot from the superb Sexy Leather outfit by pretty3d (http://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/index.php?user_id=29204).
They match very well to the outfit. I have modified the CR2 with Morphing Clothes by Dimension3D to catch some V4 morphs for thickness etc. Works very fine.
Also for the skirt I will give the dress from that package a try with some transmap. This is neccessary cause the skirt from the Winter Clothes is for sure the absolutely best match but that's not a freeware. And in freeware I didn't find any matching skirt ... the minis are too mini and mostly to deep sitting and the longer one's are either too long or absolutely without any morphs, so not well fitting.
And the work on hair, in this case ParisHairV3, is finished. It's well fitted, ok, a little bit less volume, but rather close. There I have also a modified CR2 with the special morph for the front look. But you need the original from Lisbeth (http://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/index.php?user_id=100042), but that link seems broken.
So I think tomorrow I will load up a ZIP with materials and modifications and so on ... let's see ...
