Using Daz&#8217; Map Transfer Utility, I down-converted my standard texture from V5 to V4, then stuck some of Lululee&#8217;s Lacey [sic] Lingerie on various parts so my digital dolls are always wearing underwear, especially under short skirts. Happily I have learned that multiple UV sets can coexist on a single figure, thus allowing me to maintain the V5 UVs for Jareth&#8217;s makeup, for example, but use the V4 UVs to give him some underwear. Thank God&#8230;I hate it when they go commando. :p&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Lighting. I&#8217;m slowly figuring out how to light my scenes to give them more realism and sense of dimension. I refuse, however, to do shadows, as they take too damn long. So my people look like they&#8217;re hovering above the floor, but at least they don&#8217;t look like paper dolls anymore.<\/li>\n<li>Finally some good basics. LilFlame, one of my preferred vendors of kinky stuff, is having a 40% off sale at Renderotica, which I am not linking to because I dislike their landing page. I took advantage of it to purchase the cuffs, collar and corset shown below.<\/li>\n<li>Advances in hair texturing. I figured out how to put stripes and patterns in hair! Mwah hah hah hah!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just to illustrate my stupendous accomplishments, here&#8217;s Jareth, being a gleeful dork as usual. ^_^<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oddpla.net\/blog\/miscdaz\/jareth\/yay.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Credits: Usual sources for Jareth&#8217;s morphs, texture and glasses. Hair: Glam Ponytail for Dawn by Hivewire3D. Texture uses a free tile by MSTene, altered in Photoshop Elements by me. Jareth and I both think it&#8217;s so cool how the ponytail came out in different colors! I didn&#8217;t intend that; it just happened serendipitously. Collar, wrist cuffs and ankle cuffs from LilFlame&#8217;s Heavy Cuffs for V4. Corset, bra and dubious excuse for a skirt from LilFlame&#8217;s Buckle Corset for V4 set. Underwear [not shown] from Lululee&#8217;s Lacey [sic] Lingerie for V4. Shoes from dx30&#8217;s Shoe Pack for Genesis 2 Females, shaded with one of Fisty&#8217;s freebie Fisty&#8217;s Rainbows. <\/p>\n<p>Expression by me, mostly from AlFan and smay&#8217;s custom expression morphs, Temptation and Drama for G2F, a wonderful addition to my runtime, with a wide variety of smiles, smirks, eyeball rolls, shit-eating grins, etc. Pose from Sedor&#8217;s BWC Fashion Poses for V6, which I got as a Platinum Club Plus freebie earlier this week, along with Sedor&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/bwc-runway\">BWC Runway.<\/a> <em>Clearly<\/em> I need to have a digital fashion show!
