ThreeDee: If you watch Channel 44 at 6:30 in the morning, Sailor Moon is on every weekday morning. At least she was last I checked. She has had that morning spot for many years. I am going to try to get up tomorrow morning and check my self if Saior Moon is still on. Great recommendations on outfits - really - I need the ideas on for new packages. Also, I am thinking my self about that mono-fin. I would probably model a different one than I alread modeled. The last mono flipper was an exact copy from Nuku Nuku, and it looked a little too much like a seagull foot actually if you ask me. yggdrasil: If I do any swimming gear, it will be unique. Compiler: Nice work on the ninja there News: I am been working on the swimsuit today very little. I have it running and in the process of perfecting the fit and adding JCMs to correct pokethrus. This was meshed a little differently than I usually do, that is I used less polys than I usually do. You will find that this product will load up real quick. I am not sure yet if it was wise though, because it comes with compromises. The geometry looks real good with no choppy edges, but its a little more prone to pokethrus because of being less polys. I will correct all reaonable poke thrus with Joint Controlled Morphs. Also, another thing that is a change with this swimsuit is I have not put any buttock groups in the swimsuit. When you pose the thighs, the swimsuit crotch will not move or distort. This like everyting comes with a trade-off. When you move the thighs forward, a poke thru tends to appear in the rear buttock area of the suit. I have already created a Joint Controlled Morph to correct for this and it works rather well. When you move the buttocks, the suit crotch will move, so I recomend not using buttock movements or using them very little. I recomend the opposite for the mini dress where it is best posed in the bottocks rather than the thighs. I may be happy enough by tomorrow to release a beta of the swimsuit. Other news: Sales are still too slow. Way too slow. The SummerwearOne will be released by Friday and I am trying to have this swimsuit package ready to submit by Friday. I am hoping that the next two releases in the next two weeks will cause some in the publics buying habbits toward my products. My strategy now is a simple one, I am attempting to put out one product per week....thats very tuff to do, and it still may not be enough. If sales continue to be low in my store, I will begin working on V3. Many of ThreeDee's sugestions look great! select-copy marty
