today’s small step

the 4 dress shapes that will be used to form the 4-phases-CollarBend-morph
( it’s in fact the dress being rebuilt using a shrink-wrapping script )

Cute, that really is a ‘little’ black dress

Cute, that really is a ‘little’ black dress

hopefully i’ll be able to reuse the work done here and tools for other dresses and well, summer clothes when it comes

today’s improvement:

yesterday you saw the 4 dress shapes that will form a 4-phase-morph

today you see the 4 morphs in action

the collar bones were rotated by 1-degree steps

there’s no poke-through, even as the dress stays tightly wrapped

( a script is emulating the ERC mechanism for now )

you can also see the plane that was used to during the shrink-wrap operations

Better and better.

Aiko3 bodycon news
integrating the morphs in 4.5 didnt work as planned
so i’m moving the dress dev team (me and imaginary crew) to daz studio 3
here you can see the lCollarBend1 morph action on the dress

second image is a first attempt at blending the collarBend morph
when only one arm is lifted

Does this mean this dress will be a DS3 item only, then?  If so, many folks, myself included, won’t be able to use it.  DAZ doesn’t even let you download DS3 anymore, do they?

You can ask Support.  They may allow it if you really need it.

oh it just means, i’ll use DS3 to complete building the dress
but this dress itself will be compatible with all versions of Daz Studio and all versions of Poser

here’s the latest multi-phased-collar-bend demo

the way the middle part of the dress moves is not entirely satisfactory

I’ve been lurking and watching this.  Looks good, very good, and I appreciate the care you take to make it so. 

Thanks for being so precise, and I look forward to seeing this finished.

I have yet to find a DS3 resource that doesn’t also work in DS4.

(It’s the other way around that’s sometimes problematical.)

So are you still working on this?  It looks pretty good as it is.

so, to recap ...

i made a slim-fit dress then worked of a 4-phased collarBend morph

it works pretty good but not perfectly

what i’ll do very soon is to publish the body con dress in its present state

i just have to add the thigh/buttock bend morphs

( which explains why Aiko was always standing straight in past renders )

( working on the “sit” or “walk” morph )
