This time of year is our busiest at the company I work for, so haven't had much time for the computer what with all the overtime we're having to do. So tired when I get home, I fall asleep in front of the pc...LOL!

But I've managed to make another dynamic cloth....a sweater....and plan to make a skirt to go with it. Off and on the past couple of weeks, I've worked on it, put it thru the cloth room, and so far it looks pretty good. Practice makes perfect, they say, and I feel I've improved some from my earlier offerings in Free Stuff.

Then I got a bit sidetracked when bagginsbill posted his stocking shader and with that push and some help from Acadia (thanks once again for that, Acadia!), I've learned quite a bit about the Material room and it's no longer the dark and scary place it once was. Yay, me! :thumbupboth:

So with my new-found knowledge, I set about to use it to render my newest creation. I used a velvet shader I found somewhere here (for the life of me I cannot find it again, nor who offered it; seems it was from a thread here on the Free Stuff board), and of course, bb's stocking shader, I now present my humble sweater:

Just a couple poses...

Yes, that's bb's leg shader and I love the way it looks! I like the way the velvet looks too and wish I could remember where I got it! I tagged this for nudity, just to be on the safe side...

I used V4, Portia hair by AprilYSH from DAZ, Cassia texture and makeup by Spirityfoxy, also from DAZ and BL Mega Poses found here in the MP.

There was a couple small pokethrus, one on an elbow and one where her arm came so close to her body and looked like it squished it out! LOL. The only other postwork, besides composition was to get rid of the teeny tiny 'lights' draft renders put out.

Hope to start on the skirt soon.....just can't decide exactly how I want to make it. Straight? Or with a bit of flare to the hem.....? Maybe a fuller one? Decisions, decisions.....
