Subject: Greek Tunics for M4


Half-Baked ( ) posted Thu, 07 May 2009 at 5:09 AM · edited Mon, 02 December 2024 at 11:02 AM

Does anybody know where I can find Greek or Roman style tunics for M4? A kilt would be acceptable too.

tunic, not toga, right?  can you post references or links to references?

That's right, a tunic not a toga. Something a bit like these, although the colour is not important:

just to see how hard it would be to make something so simple into dynamic clothing., i started trying to make one last night for V4 (because i have a V4 mannequin set up, and i don't have an M4 mannequin yet).  i'm about 1/3 through the process, and i'm pretty sure it's something i could do fairly easily.  so my next questions are:

  • would dynamic work for you?  if it wouldn't, then i might at least give you a mesh for someone else to make conforming.  i know that's the hard part, but i don't know a thing about it and my goal is to never make anything conforming (we'll see how that goes).
  • what's your time frame?  i've never made anything for someone else and i'm kind of just begining.  i know i'm kind of bad about time (and i don't even have M4 set up yet), so if you're really pressed, it might be better to keep looking.
  • what kind of waist cinching device would you be interested in?  at least half of my time was trying to tie a sash around the mannequin's waist, just cause i know i'm going to want that skill.  but it makes more sense to stop waisting time if instead you would rather have a rope tie (for now i wouldn't try to tie that)or a belt of some sort.
  • how much sleeve do you want?

Wow! I never expected someone to volunteer to make one so thank you very much :). To answer your questions:

Dynamic clothing would be excellent.

I'm in no hurry as this is only a hobby. I keep thinking about doing a Greek themed image and get stuck whenever I go looking for stuff.

I was thinking of using a belt to cinch the waist. I have some that would be suitable I think.

I'm flexible on sleeve, so whatever is easier for you.

Thanks again,
HB :)

gotcha!  i know what you mean.  i like doing works (when i actually do them, i'm kind of in a strange place creatively right now) in a sort of classical art style.  i posted in a thread once that if DAZ pushed fine art/classical like they push fantasy and SF, stuff for it would be just as popular.   someone told me tons of stuff already existed.   if it did, i wouldn't have bothered to start learning modeling at all. 

i need to have a belt to make it work properly for testing (and because i do part of my dynamics outside of Poser), so i'll try and find a good reference for a belt.
