kinda quirky but usable

JimmyC_2009 · December 2012

Looks really good. A 2mm fit is not exactly skin tight, but close enough for me :)

extreme side-side test
the skirt is a bit too distant from the thighs, so i may fix this

JimmyC_2009 · December 2012

The drape works very well, and covers her modesty. This is really great.

there will be an "inflate" morph which can be use to tighten the dress
so, maybe with subdivisions you could go down to 1mm

in the image below, it's approx. (exactly?) 2mm

opacity and bump map test

JimmyC_2009 · December 2012

Wow, that looks really good, no need for displacement if bump works that well. Great job.

LuxRender render using Tofusan's plugin ( 64 bit yay )

mCasual · December 2012

woohoo i posted it just in time for pacific time

though i screen-captured it at eastern time

JimmyC_2009 · December 2012

I like that time, another 100 years before it comes round again, I will catch it then if I'm around :)

Looks amazing! Can't wait for such quality freebie, it really fits Aiko like a glove ^.^

just in case you missed them, there's a leotard and a swimsuit for Aiko3 over here, there's also tall boots and high heels

reviewing the 21 significant morphs

since each morph was created by rebuilding the dress over the morphed Aiko3
the "bridges" between breasts and legs are always under tension

a pose that shows the dress nicely
i worked a few minutes to have her look very precisely at the camera
but i moved the camera (because it was behind the mirror)
and it ended with Aiko-in-the-mirror being the one who looks straight at the camera

2nd image has a better stare -

but it's not 100% there yet.

I thought having the face almost facing the camera and having the eye's axis point at the camera was enough.

I now suspect there's more to it and will have to search painting/photography courses.

It took 107 minutes to render this 9999 samples in blender cycles GPU
Glossy materials and small light sources produce artifacts named 'fireflies', which require long render times to get rid of

the 62 morphs were added to the dress figure using DS 4.5's Morph Loader pro

i still have to rebuild the special bend morphs for the legs and the collarbones

JimmyC_2009 · December 2012

Getting very close, a lot of work but worth it I think.

I am looking forward to thi script, thanks.

mCasual · December 2012

since i don't want to work too hard on this,

here's are the collar-bend morphs

some clothes on the market have the corresponding side of the garment that lifts up

note that for more common arm movements you can freeze the collar bones and avoid this issue

===

in other news, the final name for the dress will probably be mcjA3BodyCon

===

the second picture shows that the UV map is cylindrical
the .obj file is built in a manner that will make it easy to create alternate UV maps

mCasual · December 2012

maybe i changed my mind, maybe i'll make this type of collar-bend-morph

but there's may be consequences,
for instance, the ''cleavage'' morph need a companion adjustment morph,
to be used when the collar bones are bent upwards (as shown in the image)

so you'll get a tight fit, even when the arms are raised high up, but at the cost of adjusting a specialized morph.

mCasual · December 2012

still some issues to fix
it takes time but in the end its worth it, for the upcoming dresses too

the walk animation was an FBX from http://www.audiomotion.com/Downloads (non-commercial uses)
i converted it to BVH using Animeeple (they closed shop) and the SecondLife avatar for Poser

*stares in silent, drooly amazement*
(and no, I didn't miss your previous A3 creations - that's why I'm waiting for this one so impatiently ^.^)

this well-behaved CollarBend morph is a bit odd to build

i re-build the dress around the posed figure with her arm way up

when i place the dress (with no collarbend morph on the dress), the dress around the breast is pulled up and suffers poke-trough

then using the script below, i create a morph to pull the dress down and away

anyway, it works :) so we're closer to the release but there's still some miles left to the journey

// DAZ Studio version 4.5.1.6 filetype DAZ Script
var cbnode = Scene.findNodeByLabel( "jJCMrCollarBend" );
var cbmesh = cbnode.getObject(0).getCachedGeom();
var drnode = Scene.findNodeByLabel( "mcjA3BodyconD" );
var drobj = drnode.getObject(0);
var drmesh = drobj.getCachedGeom();
var n = cbmesh.getNumVertices();
var morphDeltas = new DzMorphDeltas();
for( i = 0; i < n; i++ )
{
 cbpos = cbmesh.getVertex( i ); 
 drpos = drmesh.getVertex( i );
 d = cbpos.subtract( drpos );
 morphDeltas.addDelta( i, d.x, d.y, d.z  );
}
var modifier = new DzMorph( morphDeltas );
modifier.setLabel( "jJCMrCollarBendd" );
modifier.setName( "jJCMrCollarBendd" );
drobj.addModifier( modifier );

worked on it a bit today, the issue is, the collar-Bend morph keeps the dress very tight when the collar joint is at it's maximum of 50 degrees, which is great, but when the arm is midway down ( 25 degrees ) there's poke-through, so i ... well there's many ways to cope with that and that's what i'm checking

it's not advancing fast but it's advancing :)
sorry for the waiting
here i solved the issue where the left and right collar-bend morphs were "cross-talking"

JimmyC_2009 · December 2012

A lot of work, but very much appreciated!

We can wait patiently :)

mCasual · December 2012

just to confirm that some work is being done on the dress
but due to various xmas reasons it's will take more time than expected ... when was it? ... december 12th :)

here you can see that when 1 or 2 arms are 100% up, the dress has no poke-trough

before this last tweak, when 1 arm was up, the other side of the dress had some (very little) poke-trough

Bit slow coming to this thread, but glad to see it. Your work is very, very competent and I always look forward to something new for Aiko3, who is still my all-time favorite DAZ character of any generation. Thanks for all your hard work.

thanks ! i didnt make many clothing items so far but there's over-the-knee-boots, high heel shoes, a leotard and a swimsuit over
here : https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts2
all for Aiko3,

more recentlty, a bustier and a dress similar to this one, for Genesis

mCasual · December 2012

today's turtle step, the CollarBend morph works for the 0° to 50° collar Up-Down range

the tightness of the dress at 50° is less perfect but i got rid of the poke-through for other settings

( then DS 4.5 crashed ... still suspecting it's due to the windows7 magnifier, but i didnt lose my new script/tools )

JimmyC_2009 · December 2012

If I was watching her doing that in real life, I would probably be a bit dissapointed, but I'm old now :)

Well done, a super effort.

mCasual · December 2012

it's not here yet but i plan ( no i swear ) to get back to it soon

in the meantime, Happy New Year, and, there's a video featuring the bodycon dress

VIDEO includes test for a hair/fur/grass generator that will probably be named mcjShaggy

giving it another go

here's the reason of the delays

when Aiko lifts her arms up, i don't want the dress to follow slavishly as if it was glued-on and elastic

plus, i don't want the dress to become loosened as the collar angle goes from 0 to 50 degrees

so i'll use, 1 collar-bend-morph plus 3 fit-morphs for angles 12.5° 25° and 37.5°

and ( finish learning ) use multi-stepped ERCs, or JCMs
