hat_plays_simsSo there I am, looking at my clothing to-do list after getting textures done for TF-EF gartered knee-high hosen and short shifts (tomorrow, probably CF stuff. WHY are kids' legs mapped so differently augh). It's a nice Works document with tables and everything, very easy to look at. I feel organized. I'm making notes, going okay, this underwear needs to be swim, this needs to be nightclothes, maybe I'll be smart and not put chausses in the nightclothes category so I can tell underwear, swimwear, and PJs apart when I use the clothing tool, but then I start looking at the rest of the list. I go to the Heraldic section, add Cynnix's MtF conversion of the Store chainmaille, then skip to the Other section, and add Androgyny bound chausses in 82 colors, because those are things I need to do again, and my brain whispers to me:
"You know, if you had the right meshes, you could do heraldic livery for your androgynous Servos."
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BRAIN I DON'T EVEN
"It's not like the Androgynous Servos came with separate formalwear meshes. You don't have to do a full makeover with the Clothing Tool, you can JUST change their formal and winterwear."
I don't even know how to change my Servos back into Servo clothes without an unlocker! Or how to effectively undo a Servo facial makeover!
"You were gonna make heraldic livery for lords' servants anyway."
OH MY GOD I HAVE UNDERWEAR TO MAKE and then separates and then outerwear and then at least one more full-body thing for CF-EF and two more for CM-EM, and THE REST OF THE HERALDIC STUFF and new Viking dresses and gym clothes. My Servos look awesome naked!
"They do, but you could even just take the regular Servo mesh and an unlocker and make painted-on heraldic BADGES for them. That would work for Casual, too, so you know who that Servo belongs to."
Okay, so I'm going to close Body Shop and Photoshop and go take the garbage out now, before my brain comes up with any MORE brilliant ideas. Should have the rest of the Front-Laced Lady kirtles up this week-- that's Athletic Girl and Androgyny, for those of you with your fingers crossed. I need to check meshes (Cynnix has been AMAZING you guys, all hail Cynnix) and edit a few preview pics.
(There WILL be a shitload of underwear soon. Don't ask me when soon is, I'm trying to be organized and get all my ducks in a row with textures I know I'll need for multiple projects, first.)
Hey, quick question, if I'm offering both barefoot and socked versions of a particular shirt, shift, chemise, or smock, how many linen colors is reasonable? I have CS5 now so I can run Aelia's Eco actions, and I'm torn between eight realistic linen colors or the same sixteen shades-of-rag I did for toddler and baby diapers and smocks. I figure if I stick to eight colors, I might actually USE all of them when it's time to do the eighty-two colors of chausses.
