Alternatively, you can designate anchor points (one on the back, 5-6 along the perimeter of the breast) and then use the physics system to generate an appropriate neckline.Faceless said:
These are just more images of the Jill Valentine costume. I don't like this design enough to work on it.Gerve said:
Too little visual detail. I'd basically just be drawing a big white blob.
Wrong color palette. I'm not an artist; adapting stuff to a bright cel-shaded style is difficult for me.
This one could work, although I don't know what it's supposed to be. The construction (lacing + rivets) suggests a stiff corset or even a breastplate. Yet the front of the garment appears to be squashed inwards by light pressure from the thigh. And the visible muscle definition suggests that it's made of lycra (or - more probably - bodypaint).
Out of scope. I don't want to include a skirt, because then my OCD kicks in and I need to physics-animate the whole skirt (so that it swishes back and forth when the girl moves, and automatically wraps around her legs and/or puddles onto the floor when she's in a kneeling position).
Out of scope for OCD reasons. I already have a leotard project on-the-go. If I can get the layers of the [buttocks, hips, thighs, pelvis, abdomen] to work together nicely, then I'll immediately apply that technique to the Angela Balzac project. Afterwards, we can talk about one-piece swimsuit designs.
Same problem as above - I'm not willing to tackle this costume design until I've sorted out the layers - so that fabric can wrap over and under the hips properly.
Wrong palette. The whole thing uses gradients instead of the 3-color (highlight-midtone-shadow) approach which is typical of anime shading.Gerve said:
The garment seems to be made of shiny translucent material (e.g. latex?). SDT can't produce a convincing depiction of such materials - we'd need a lighting engine which could alter the gloss and reflection patterns in realtime.
The image doesn't show the full garment, and the squashing of the breasts adds complexity (because the modder would need to guess at the "unsquashed" shape, instead of tracing the image as-is).
Any of these would work. I'd prefer the white corset with the ruffled trim. The trim itself is fairly wide, which will conceal any minor inconsistencies between the static and simulated sections of the garment. The accessories and posture of the girl make it a very good reference image for SDT.Gerve said:
Progress is kinda slow at the moment. I made a few adjustments to the physics stuff, but the modeling of the neckline (and waistline) can't proceed until the tracing is finished. And that's going to take a while because the ruffled trim is fairly intricate.stuntcock said:

Thank you for the offer, but I know that you have your own projects to deal with.Huitznahua said:
To elaborate on the previous mention of RGB shifting - here are the current vectors. They're incomplete because a few sections were obscured in the reference image; I intend to fill in these gaps by tracing frilly details from another (less detailed) reference image. Possibly this one. The main point is that the primary fill (RGB adjustable) is overlain by highlight and shadow fills, both of which are partially transparent. This approach looks reasonable so long as your custom color is similar to the original color (0xF0FAFA). It works fairly well with pale yellows and pinks.stuntcock said:
The frill vectors are done as well as the basic shading for the bodice.stuntcock said:
