Day 55: Red Brocade Skirt

Yet another effort with a ripped-off texture; one day I will get better at creating my own textures, but brocade is a bit of an ask for a beginner.

This is a 28 panel skirt with underwear underneath in the same texture. It's roughly ankle-length; I created the panels by expanding the template panel, rather than just lengthening it, so that there would not be gaps up the top.

Unbelievably, it's take me until today to think of posing myself up on the posing stand part of the LoopRez Generator to get the shape right (shakes head in disbelief). Anyway, that works like a dream - as it's intended to, I'm sure.





As you can see, I've played around with the backangle on this skirt as well, which makes a big difference for an ample bottomed lass like myself :)

The biggest difference with this skirt is the texuring. I've used the same texture file throughout, but for each panel I rotated the texture by 90 degrees, then offset the texture vertically. Each vertical offset is different to the two or three preceding, giving more of an impression of a skirt that is more homogeneous.

Day 53: White blouse with pink ribbon

Time to completion: approximately 2hrs.

Second Life has been had sorts of funny issues since the Monday update - personally, I became unable to alter my Appearance settings, which rather crimped my ability to make things. Before that happened, though, I was able to get this white blouse happening. Yesterday's pants, yesterday's red shirt (which was really this white shirt tinted red :) ), with a pink ribbon tied about my middle. <- Here you see it before I added the bow. -> Here perhaps you can just see the bow. It's not flexi.; I just couldn't work out how to make everything the right shape and flexible at the same time. You can also see my wonderous new photographic technique - the shadow!





<- I thought I'd better add this image of the side seam ... what side seam? :) If only I could get the shoulders looking better, I'd be really chuffed with this garment.

















My apologies for shoving my bottom into the camera like this - I'm preserving it for posterity :) No, actually, it records the back detail of the blouse.

I'd have liked to show off the skirt I was working on today, but since I can't make underwear to go under it, I will refrain for now. The skirt is shorter than the brocade skirt - I took down the details of the panels created by ged's LoopRez Deluxe and created a new, shorter panel, the parameters of which I was then able to transmit to the other panels by the LoopRez Deluxe Template Dropscript.
