Thanks.

Thank you

have doodled around with the new dress and it's working great, nary a nip slip yet!  thanks!

Thanks everyone! I've started to work on this little ensemble again, which erstwhile I abandoned in frustration because every little piece of it was giving me grief. It's going better now.

Here, I've added a tiny but important detail. Who can spot it?

You added a button on the cuffs.

What hair is that?

Nice!

What hair is that?

It's the Femmetastic hair that came with the free version of La Femme 2. My favorite Poser hair at the moment.

Here's a pose test with my latest version of the output. Clearly not quite there yet, but also not entirely terrible, I think. Technical note #1: in order to keep her lingerie (that Wikipedia calls a "corset teddy"; let me know if you have a better word for it) from falling off her you-know-what's, I originally put the whole bust and a corresponding strip in the back into the constrained group, but that made it look awfully stiff. So, now it's only the top "hem" that's constrained, with the remaining fabric being free to flow on top of it. I think the general strategy is quite promising: saw a piece underneath the top fabric that's close to the skin and constrained to it, as if one was using actual tape. That will only constrain the top fabric at the respective seams rather than across whole polygons like with my previous method.

Did I write "output" up there? Obviously I meant outfit.

I think I'm getting there with the collar and bow tie. The next big challenge will be the tights, specifically having them stay close to the skin in the crotch (which they're already kind of doing here, but certainly not in the pose above) so that the lingerie can go on top of them. Another option would be "built-in" tights, but first I'll try to keep them separate, which makes for a more versatile garment.

Some progress on the tights, using the same technique as for the lingerie: strategically place some strips underneath the top fabric and constrain them to the body. I've also added a new pattern piece for the crotch and put an elastic on the centerline in MD to make into get really close to the body. As you can see, unlike in the sitting image above, there's no fabric spanning between her buttocks anymore.

I think I'm now satisfied with her new miracle tights, and here is where I ended up putting the sticky tape:

It seems pretty obvious in hindsight, but as usual took me a bit of trial and error to get to. Now the one big item left on the to-do list is resculpting her bunny ears to make them look nicer and more anime-like.

My usual thing happened with her teddy/swimsuit piece where I think I'm basically done with a garment and only need a few final tweaks, but then I end up doing a whole bunch of shaping and rebuilding. I did like it much better when I was done, so I made a little turntable image series in lieu of a video:

Excellent job!

Excellent job!

it makes a nice set and a nice silhouette for LF2.

I don't have time to Poser at the moment but it will be a pleasure later.

We're interrupting our regular scheduled bunny costume fine-tuning for what I hope will be a quicky: 

Yep, looking like a quickie. I'm pretty happy with it already, just need to play with some material options and decide if I want to lean into that vertical crease in the back with some hemming.

Looks good so far.

ETA: It was vaguely inspired by an outfit I saw in a fantasy anime.

"Special offer! All women's sci-fi overalls are now half off."

I made you a clothing morph, but Poser's fabric-to-fabric collision simulation ate it. 😞

Whenever I try to add a morph to an item of dynamic clothing, I find that I get better results if I simply remove some collision objects or add one (possibly animated). In this case, I removed the collisions with the chest and collars - and of course "deactived" the tape that keeps the straps from sliding off her nipples.

Also, observe my attempt at a procedural leather material.

you have gained some experience with your work for several months.

Your creations are varied and offer more and more clothing combinations.

In comparison to other procedural leather material on the market, yours look pretty good.

Thanks, you two!

The leather could use a bit more irregularity, I think. Maybe I'll play with it some more.
