Hello all,

I'm working on some new freebies for V4. Now which one should I do first?

The warrior outfit will be conforming, with a dynamic cape and loincloth. Probably I'll make it a multipiece set.
Suggestions as to what items should go in the set are more than welcome. For now, I'm planning on a plate metal top which can go under the shoulder straps, a set of thigh plates, shin guards and bracers, a dynamic cape that can be attached to the shoulder pads, and a sword + scabbard + swordbelt.

The evening dress will be fully dynamic.

my vote would be for the athenian gown.

I like the dress.  A girl can never have too many dresses.

I think the warrior outfit is great, because rookie modellers can't go that route and will definitely grab the outfit.  

What with 3D modelling software going for free or cheap recently, many aspiring hobbyists would probably be able to cobble together their own dynamic clothes.  Perhaps.

Athenian gown - now there's an idea. I could loosen the top so that she can wear something under it, and give the gown a belt part (which will be conforming). Then it'll be a hybrid.

Well, that is certainly the way I started! Simple dynamic clothes are fairly easy to model. Good dynamic clothes, on the other hand... my latest set took many, many hours of tweaking.

I am still struggling with dynamic but that is a beautiful dress so it gets my vote.

That outrageous evening dress gets my vote .... so cheeky ! .... can you imagine one of the bigtime Hollywood celebrities wearing that to the Oscars :):))

While I like the warrioress look, I WANT THAT DRESS [well not me personally but V4 does, LOL].

Certainly, the dress gets my vote...

i would like to combine them both together actually Svdl, they look like that'll work and would like to see a small shield, a belt, and dagger as oppossed to a sword, i haven't got that many daggers!! and the cloak sounds like that'll fit in too!!

both look great by the way!!!!!!!

i always find that your dynamic stuff just works!!! so am glad to see you working on some V4 stuff!

thanks Svdl.

The gown, the gown !! :tt1:

Another gorgeous gown vote here ;)

my vote goes to the dress and wen will it be out

My vote .........

for sure

for the awesome dress

That dress please !

The dress gets my vote as well. Vicky is tired of swinging a sword around almost buck naked...LOL!

well, I want them both LOL but my first choice would be the gown! Yes, the gown!!

Yes and yes

OK, the gown it is. The warrior outfit will follow later.

vince3 - good idea. Dagger, small shield (buckler) - will be included with the warrior set.

With a bit of luck I can finish the gown this weekend. The modeling isn't all that difficult, but it needs a good UV map. Which is not easy.

It's a hybrid, the belt and a few polys of the gown are conforming, the top and skirt part are dynamic (just a single 'bone' called Dynamic).

I'll have to put the V4 morphs in the abdomen part before I can distribute the gown.

Do you prefer this version, or should I go with the gown without belt in post # 3?

Where are my heart pills!! Steve,, you should tut us mortals on some of your clothroom settings...

I like the idea of having a belt, but not that belt. It's too large and heavy looking for the lightweight looking material. A thin cord, sash, or jewelry type chain would look better.

looks fantastic the new belt looks nicer i recon

That looks great!

that is coming along just great Svdl!! love it!! i actually think both belts works for a slightly different look to the gown, you did that so quick aswell, i am very impressed. Nice one. ( much clapping)

sigh And I am so wanting some cool armour for V4. But it looks like the dress got more votes.

Don't worry Unicornst, the armor will be made too. It's just that the dress will be made first.

**YIPPIE! I can do the happy dance now. grin I thank you and V4 thanks you. Poor girl has temples to conquer and nothing proper to wear. lol

I do like the dress too. Especially with that simpler belt. That sets it off really nicely. So it was a tough choice. But there are those temples out there, you know.** :lol:

OK, the gown is finished. You can download it here

I haven't submitted the gown to freestuff yet. There's a little problem with nudity and thumbnails, I'd like to have that resolved first.

thankyou so much im downloading it right know thanks again 

Sweet! Just downloaded it. I'm hoping that I have time to play with it soon.

nice one! thanks svdl!! i'll have a play with that later.

Oh that gown is just too delicious for words!

MY WORD!!!!! The gown is FAN-FREAKING-TABULOUS!!!!!  That's gotta be the most beautiful dynamic outfit I've seen!  And you've done a fantastic job of showing it off.  That is EXACTLY what I was looking for.  I agree with richardson, where are MY heart pills!  Is this available yet??

The gown is awaiting approval in the freestuff area. But you can already download it from this link: www.svdlinden.nl/webposerstuff/downloads/v4ropedgown.zip

svdl,

  Thanks SO MUCH for a really great gown.  The rope is such a perfect touch too!  And to do all this for free.  I think the whole RO community is truly grateful for your generosity.

  What needs to be approved?  I've never created anything to put up.

  Thank you again, truly,

Nebula (Doug)

The staff needs to check whether a freebie item doesn't contain a virus and is not a copyright violation. This takes a couple of days.
Not as much time as a quality test such as in the marketplace would take, however. As far as I know, approving an item for the marketplace can take as long as three weeks.

Progress report on the warrior outfit:

• shoulder straps and pads now have all Victoria 4 DAZ morphs. Only MAT poses/material collections remain to be made
• made a dynamic fur cape that fits between shoulder pads and straps.

Fast and excellent work there! Thank you, svdl!

Thank you svdl for another free dynamic dress!!   It's just so beautiful and elegant.

**One tiny little suggestion. She really needs something that holds the cups in place when in battle. Perhaps some sort of strap going around the back? That way, perhaps it won't interefere with the straps and cape.

I'm loving this.  Especially the cape part of it. Perfect touch!

The chains coming down are fantastic!**

Working on a chain strap going around the back. Placing all those individual links is slow going...

**Somehow I figured you would have already thought of that. grin

My hat's off to you for being able to do this type of modeling.**
