dicreasy2 | Things I am working on at the moment. (Reply)

I get the impression that I am once again trying to do too many things at once. I have a pile of mostly complete cc projects, a chapter in the works, a new writing challenge and goodness knows what else, so I thought I’d make a note of the ones I’m actively working on here.

Finish chapter 24.4. Progress: filming 26/200 slides done. This is very slow going at the moment. I’m out of practice and can’t find my groove with it, so I spent Sunday playing with ponies styling pony hair, playing a game I got off Steam for less than £2 and defeating GlaDoS (again) rather than filming. Last night I did set up for the next scene and was going to film it, buuuuut I ended up starting a new cc project instead because I need better props (see below).

CC projects.

Finish TS3 Victorian window conversions. Meshes and packages are done, and the wood has a temporary texture on it. Need to finish that texture and make sure that the correct subsets are recolourable. They can then be uploaded.
New project. Crockery and cutlery set. I’ve wanted this for years, but I’m working on a complete(ish) crockery and cutlery set, the crockery will be slaved to Cashcraft’s teacup, but I’ll also do recolours to match the default crockery set I use. Using Cashcraft’s meshes as a base, but altering and re mapping as necessary. Working on meshes at the moment. Sugar bowl with lid on complete. Sugar bowl with lid to side, bowl and lid complete, working on sugar lumps to go in. Ideally want to make sugar a separate recolourable subset, and alpha editable so the bowl can have sugar in it or not. Left to do: teapot (use regency one, but rescale and make look less like a coffee pot, plus remap). Milk jug (adapt teapot?) Cutlery (check as2 tous and maybe use those as a base?)
Sugar loaves. Basic one done, want to do different sizes all slaved to it. Sugar nips. Mesh 85% done. Need to finish, map and create the package and recolour.
Mesh set for Sarah Jane. Basic mesh done. Bustle mesh done. Need to make ball gown mesh? (speak to Cait about what mesh she wants to use), nightgown mesh, gymkit mesh, swimwear mesh, coat mesh, corset mesh.
New corset meshes. Not one of the corsets I have in game is right. Not one. One of the biggest things wrong is that the meshes they are on are too big to fit under the meshes I use for everyday wear. So I’m making new meshes that will fit under them, mapped so that they can be textured to look like midline corsets. ~~-Chirko’s bustle mesh corset: 66% done. Only need to add preg morph~~. - AAS bustle mesh corset. Not started. - ~~Textures. Not started.~~
Improved bustle meshes. Very ongoing project. I think the Chirko one is finished but I need to check it over and post it.
Ladies Riding habit. Mesh and 2 recolours are done. Also a teen conversion I think (must check, I know I meant to do it). Tiny flaw that I can’t fix. Might post anyway (after Bethy wears hers in chapter 24.4).
TS3 tent conversion (collab with Cait). Need to finish testing, take previews and post.

~~Go Fish!~~ I’m really excited by this. It’s nice to be thinking of a completely new story with no pressures, especially since I’m getting to big plot explosion, as well as working on another little plot that I love, but I’m not sure how it’ll be received (all I ask is that my readers remember that the 19th century is not now and things were very different then). Currently brainstorming to work out the mythology and geography of the world. First scene, the one that has inspired my idea, is drafted. Must edit and then perhaps I’ll post it as a teaser. Also must work on making my characters in bodyshop. I’m pleased with the results of the poll, since they fit with what, on reflection, I want to do, so you’ll be seeing mainly new characters, but with some of my aVL characters in supporting roles, but with their personalities mixed up a bit. (In particular I have a great role for Sarah Jane, where I’ll take some of her characteristics, and ramp them up to 11 or beyond).
