Ok, here's views of the front and back. No postwork except composition and to add the ornamental thingys (sorry, couldn't resist....lol!) You can see where the skirt interacts with the sweater causes it to crumple or bend. A narrow strip of vertices across the top was constrained. Maybe I should have done two rows?

Also changed the color trying to get a creamy shade. I had made a cream material preset for it weeks ago, but it didn't work for some reason. Another MR mystery, I guess. It was a pretty shade, no idea why it wouldn't work.

Thanks for the feedback! I like the neckline, too, Acadia. Especially the way it sorta slips down, kinda sexy like....lol. Not too much, or too little. Of couse, constraining a few verts should keep it from doing that, if one didn't want it to.

@Bob: Didn't think of doing that, putting the pose earlier in the frame sequence. The readme with the Glamourous Collection says to do that with the gowns, and I usually leave the 30 frames in the Sim settings, so to allow the cloth to settle nicely and it works beautifully. I hadn't thought to do  that with this. In a standing pose, the skirt didn't really need that. Didn't cross my mind for this sitting pose. I'll have to give that a try. :)

As for the constraining, I can't recall for sure now, but may have changed the collision offset/depth on this sim. No...now that I think of it, I didn't. I think I'll try the same pose without constraining and see if that makes a difference.

Now the ....ahem....placket. Actually, there is no placket. I had only tried to put one in, and not really knowing how to model such, I wound up with an extra, very thin column of verts (or polys or whatever they're called!) down the front. I couldn't figure out what to do with them, even tried to get rid of them, but that only ripped the front, something I didn't want, of course. They are still there, which is why it looks like a 'seam' of sorts, in the front. It can't be seen here, but you can see it in the images I posted in the attached thread.

I'll have to do some more renders so y'all can see what the skirt looks like better. @Acadia, it turned out looking similar to the images of Merle Streep that you posted in the other thread. I put a little slit in the back (an accident, that I thought might screw it up, but somehow managed to put to rights!) I hadn't even gone back to the thread, and only noticed it when I went to post this last night.

Thanks, Acadia! You are also one of those people who deserve thanks. And I want everyone to know this. She offered her help over the phone and as it turned out, it cost a bit in long distance on my sister's cell phone (I didn't know this at the time) but it was worth every penny! I don't regret it at all! (I've paid my sister back, btw). Yet another reason why this community is so great!

Yes, diolma, that is what I do, as her toes stick out of the shoes once they are conformed. So I make them invisible, but that leaves ugly places above the top of the shoe where the very tops of the toes would have been. So a tiny bit of cloning needs to be done to get rid of that. I do this in PSPX. Had no idea it could be done in the Material Room!

Thanks for the compliments!

@ SSAfam1: I've worked some more on the sweater, but haven't yet decided, nor started on the skirt. Actually, in the process of making the domains and stuff for the sweater, I got sidetracked and kinda, sorta, stuck in the Material Room! I was learning new stuff and trying new things....I just haven't gotten around to making the skirt...LOL! And of course, real life around here tends to get in the way, but I haven't forgotten about it. I hope to get Hex out this weekend and get that skirt made!

Quote - Looks pretty good to me.  Availavble when?

I'm afraid it won't be any time soon, cedarwolf. I still have to make the skirt and now SSAfm1 has given me some ideas...LOL! I'd like to offer some MR presets too, if I can figure out how to do that.

I'll be posting more images later on probly, so you can see how things are progressing. If all goes well, maybe it won't be too long before I get it up for download.

And thanks, everyone, for the  compliments!

Thanks, SSAfam1! I would have put some pants or skirt on her, but all I've got are dresses!

Yes, a cream color would look very nice. Hope to get time to work on the skirt this weekend and maybe more experimenting in the Material room. :)

Ho Ho!!

I hear the old song "She's a brick.......House!" every day at work......EVERY day!

Got it!  Working on a reply right now....

Being a raw newbie to the Material Room, I attempted this, but wasn't successful.

I did, however, manage to change the leg group on V4, so, tho I was apparently on the right track, I got lost right away. Tried the manual, but I'm afraid it wasn't much help (to me, anyway!). I guess I need to find a BASIC MR tut, if there is such a thing.

I see that bb has some nodes named from the Poser default, but wasn't able to figure out how to do that in P5 (possible in P5??), meaning the Sheerness, and Denier (sp?), etc. 

I'll probly try it again, mebbe I'll turn out something halfway right......

To paraphrase Neo in The Matrix ...

Whoa!

Since I've been hanging out around here, I've come to realize you are da man when it comes to the Material Room and to pay attention whenever you post..

(Tho some of it is still Greek to me.....I still pay attention! LOL!)

This is just absolutely fabulous!

The site has been timing out on me for a few days now.

Same thing with me.

You're right, Acadia. I've noticed that nothing 'zeroes' on V4 except her feet, which then point downward below the ground. Odd.

Actually, she's already zeroed if you look at the dials, but for some reason her feet do that when you use the joint editor.

That's good to know, Acadia!

Yes, zeroing the figure is one of the first things I do when preparing to do a sim in the cloth room, right after turning off IK. :)

Quote - DUH!

I'm so dumb sometimes!

I just noticed that  in the Pose folder  there is a "default" pose morph that when you click it fits the legs to the outfit!

So there are 2 ways to get it to work. My way or the easy one,  LOL

Hummmm......I have his other set of Belly Dance costume and could never get the included shoes to fit onto her feet. They seemed to be all one prop. I've seen that default pose, but never thought it might help. I'll have to try that and see if it does help.

Thanks!
