WIP: Tunics!

[heget]

Okay, I need to start posting in this more. I pormise I'll start uploading the rest of the current creations here soon, but I have to squee over my newest project.

If there's one thing I don't understand why we didn't have for the Sims, it was a BASIC tunic shape for men, one with normal legs and none of the funky side seams or meshed on belts from the kilt. Well, thanks to an edit of an edit of the mad scientist lab coat, i have a simple tunic for adult males with no UV mapping seams or creases or problems that goes to mid-thigh and isn't too fitted around the waist while stil being defined enough that a painted on belt wouldn't look odd.  A nice length.  And I frankenmeshed on the basic blockfeet and kept the sleeves. The plan, however, is to expnad the tunic by making variations on the tunic with different shoes- the polonaisse, any boot I fancy, even the baggy lower pants from that Russian Viking tunic. And sleeves. More sleeve choices-rolled up to the elbows, baggy, bare, the Romeo Italian Ren. sleeves.




I need to make the morphs for it still. And then beg for teen and child versions. And make a bajillion recolors.


So, suggestions for colors, mesh additions, etc?

Well, when fixing the meshes for things like seams, UV mapping on the hand, and wrestling the normals so there isn't horrible dark shadows at the hem, I lost the morphs and can't seem to get my MS to let me rebuild them. Which is annoying. But I decided to focus on making the meshes themselves and the recolors and come back to the morphs - or just hope some kind person adds them and does teen and other body-shape conversions. :P

BUT I do have now a blockfeet and sexyfeet version of the above tunic, the blockfeet with 5 white to cream undershirts paired with white stockings, and the sexyfeet I did a ton of linen shades- basically almost all the color actions you do plus a few more. Because.

Once I mock up textures, I'll show the third mesh. Same tunic, but poulaine shoes and I crafted up a sleeve that hopefully works. It uses a bare arm to about halfway up the forearm, then billows out a bit to give a loose from elbow to shoulder. Not actually your wishlist photo, but I think pretty close. Of course, it's not the snug-fitting tunic with a hem right at the crouch, but hey, better than anything we've had before.


(that the morphs are being a pill ticks me off so much. And I hate doing them because I suck at them and are so time consuming for me even when they do work)
