Date: 2010-04-21 06:06 pm (UTC)I tend to easily lose my patience with hair retexturing and the braid is a bit fiddly to get right so I keep putting it off and doing something else instead. I know I should just finish it already but other things are more fun. If you think the braid shape is fine as is, I may leave it. I needed to end the braid somewhere when I was wrapping it and opted for that and only now noticed from the back that the braid suddenly stops halfway at the caul.
As to the costuming: unreliable and in the case of the really old stuff, severely lacking. It doesn't help that, as you said, people were depicated in their finest clothes. Ancient Egyptians were all about preparing for the afterlife, for example, and you had to dress your finest for that. I think I have some clue now how clothes were constructed (or not constructed, as it were, as they did not seem to have actually done much sewing). I also doubt I'd be able to find period photographs ;) Period artwork, well, somehow I don't think the actual clothes were that tightly clinging to the body. Hobbling doesn't seem conductive to working the fields. I've seen a few depictions of coloured linen, but it's mostly in pictures of pharaohs, fancy pharaoh wives and such, or gods and godesses. And I've read some stuff that said they did have some dyes (reds, yellows, blues) so the knowledge was there. They just held special importance to white, the whiter the better. But hey, this is also the Sims, sometimes liberties must be taken in favor of gameplay (I'm going to need to do a lot of that for my own game plans).
Victorian era is much simpler, there is a wealth of information on that available, by comparison (it can still be a pain to find the right information). I cannot imagine Medieval clothes to be easy to figure out either. Historical accounts are probably incomplete and clothing remains likewise.
Thank you also for the mesh link (it's a nice mesh, the morph issue can be fixed should I end up using it) and good luck on the medieval underwear, of course. :)
