Subject: Urban/Hip-hop Clothes or Props: Do they exsist?


Fumanshoo ( ) posted Sun, 14 May 2006 at 3:39 PM · edited Sun, 26 January 2025 at 6:48 PM

I've been scouring different sites for any clothes and/or characters that fit a urban/Hip-Hop theme. Thus far, all I have come up with is a replica Converse basketball shoe(rendersosity), dreadlocks, and some ugly looking baseball caps. Does anyone know of any sites that reflect the Hip-Hop genre?

You're probably going to have to 'piece it together' by taking parts from here and there to get a final effect. Poser's modeler's seem to favor skin tight or fantasy or both, but exceptions do exist. However I wouldn't really be able to say 'they are here'. Rather - scan free areas on various sights and look for models with the right shape that you think could be retextured to give a different final result, and think about what might be able to be combined with what. Combine that with a few for cost items searched out the same way... and you might be able to pull something off. I've been able to piece together a somewhat 'disco / techno' look at times, but I haven't tried for hip hop.

Those are just guys with guns who are conspicuously black... The jeans are semi baggy, but still tight up top and maybe even riding too high. Hip hop would want baggy low-worn jeans, baggy sweaters, sports caps, and a healthy dose of bling - as a launching pad.

from what i understand... the only way to get baggy clothing (that looks even moderatly accurate) is to learn dynamic clothing.
There are very few people doing dynamic clothes and most of them are doing women's clothing.

Baggy will never look right in conforming clothing unless you can formulate an elaborate set of morphs to correct for most any movement.

You can call him what you want. The message implied is - darker skin equates to guys with guns. Which attachs itself to a whole host of other negative racial / ethnic stereotypes which are actually, speaking through a degree in poly sci/criminology which specialized in studying 'notions' and 'institutionalized normative assumptions' about crime and race, not fully accurate despite public perception. But that's off-topic here. They are however, not hip-hop so much as hoodlum. Taking into account Tyger_purr's comments, it looks like a hip-hop look is just hard to make... The jeans are good, but it is regretable if it is true that making a genuinely baggy look is not possible without dynamics.

I felt the same as you regarding the above images. When I picture Hip-Hop clothing, I envision Avarex jackets, Timberlands, loose fitting jeans, over-sized sweatshirts, and fitted baseball caps.  I guess I'll have to either keep searching the internet or learn to make my own clothing. If I CAN learn how to make my own urban clothes, I'll be sure to post them here for the Renderosity Community approval first! Thanks everyone for your imput.

They might actually be easier to make if you resort to dynamics. Take a pair of ultra loose jeans and look at them when they're not on you. They're just two very wide cylanders connected to a box at the top. That might be very easy to model in Hexagon. The hard part would be modeling where the belt goes to tie it down to the body. At that one point you have to pull it in. Once you run this ultra loose thing through the cloth simulator it will take on the baggy jeans look. You can then either conform it and escape from dynamics - but it will always be baggy in the same folds - or leave it dynamic and let people run cloth simulations on their own. I don't know how to model, but if I figure it out, maybe I'll try to take this one on. If you don't have it yet, rush over to Daz and get the Platinum Club and then Hexagon - about $32 total if you buy them PC first, Hexagon second. It's a sale that won't last forever, and the regular price fr Hexagon will eventually go up to 250 or so... I got it, even though I don't yet have time to learn it. Hopefully I'll be able to start this coming month.
