Not very well yet, but this is first fitting. Anyway, I thought I'd try a "Sitting Skirt" for SMV'v next collection. This has been done before, nothing new, but it might be do-able. I used the CR2 for my mermaid, the skirt has a hip, then buttocks (one piece) and thighs (one piece). Easiest way yo fit it is to bend the skirt and then make Supermodel Vickie fit it, rather than the other way around. Below the hips there is no conforming at all. Sort of a chore to fit, but you can get results a "conventional" skirt can't get, and I could add some JCM's to make it work a little better. (Bot the JCM's still wouldn't actually pose it, bear in mind) So the question is, if you were buying a clothing pack would you rather have a "Mermaid style" skirt like this or a more limited, more poseable conventional one? The deal is I'm not going to do both (as the JCM each will require is a lot of work), it will be one or the other.

She can stand in it too, of course. Travler (?) and PhilC have had skirts or dresses like this, I'm not tring to say I invented it or anything. Anyway, SMV looks nice in it, but of course she looks nice in everything- now I know why the Fashion houses pay big bucks for supermodels to show their stuff in the shows!

I would definetely want the one that you have pictures of here. I think poseability in skirts is overrated. I think they are much, much more verstitile if you just use morphs on them. Could you add morphs for moving her legs a little sideways(within the realistic limits of the skirt, of course)? Will this skirt be able to have her legs uncrossed sitting as well as crossed and what about crossing her legs the other way?

Either, Both, I feel my wallet getting thinnner.

my wallet too .-(((

I've already done a couple morphs to try this out, including one to widen/narrow it at the bottom. The cross-leg sitting pose at the top was just a twist on the skirt's lower section (called "thighs", strangely enough!), it works better non-cross leg, and twists fine the other way, too. One think nice about a skirt like this is forces you to use poses that a real woman could do in a tight skirt, no fair getting the knees too far apart and streching the fabric and all that stuff.

Good Job Jim Just one point on your fisrt pic with Vicky sitting is that her leg showing through (the one closest to us)? or am i just a blabbering scotsman whos had too much whiskey hehe rodpanther

Looking good Jim.

my wallet's real thin right now...Jim, the long gown at bbay is just gorgeous. Did a render of SMV with Vicky's Gelhead and the Kira texture from freestuff...wow Back to the present topic g looks wonderful

sorry, it was the "Kina" texture by Charlene Krejci that I used

Oh, yes, we have quite a lot of poke-through at this stage! The standing pose does too, but only in the back, so I very cleverly shot from the front.

Very nice, Jim: if I only *had* a wallet (and SMV) I'd willingly open it and say "help yourself". Support your local 3D artist... One of the sitting skirts I know of is in Nerd's free section (link); this is for Posette and I find it really useful. I've converted it into a morphing prop too since that is more convenient in some *sit*uations :) Hope to be able to post this soon.
