Learning something new

[dicreasy2]

One of the many, many things that's stopping me from playing at the moment, is the thought that I am going to need many, many more pieces of clothing as the legacy goes on.  This wasn't so much of a problem earlier on, when I hadn't used a lot of the clothing I have, or when my sims were more sims than characters, but as I've gone on, I've started wanting individual and unique pieces of clothing for my main sims.  This really came home to me the other day when I was playing around with looks for one of Bertie and Sophia's twins the other day, and I realised I'm going to need to make her new dresses for her, for all of her life stages.  In the past, I've tended to just nick bits and pieces from clothing that I already have and mash them together, but I really want to be able to make clothes properly.  Heget posted this tutorial over at PBK (you need to be logged in to view it I think) a while ago, and I started trying to follow it, but then forgot about it.  Well, I've decided to give it a go again.

This is what I have so far:



And here is what it looks like on the mesh in Milkshape:







I'm really pleased with how it's looking so far, and once it's finished, I'm hoping it'll look good, and that it'll give me to confidence to make more clothing as I need it.

I've definitely learnt quite a few tricks from it, and what's particularly nice is that it's a tutorial for PSP rather than PS, so I don't have to search the menus looking for a tool which does the same thing, but is called something slightly different.

I just need to start deciding what trim I want on it, and how to do the cuffs, and then I can start looking at how to colour it and add some patterns to the materials.
