For the 34D alpha dress you will already find the two different possible ways.
The 34DAlphaDressBlack has "stdMatAlphaBlendMode" set to "blend" and "stdMatAlphaTestEnabled" set to  "0". It supports transparency.

The CroppedPinkDress and the teen D dress recolor do have "stdMatAlphaBlendMode" set to "none" and "stdMatAlphaTestEnabled" set to  "0". Transparency does not work with these.


So at least for the 34D alpha dress you can choose which of my recolors you want to use as basis keeping in mind if your new creation needs transparency or not. Be aware that this also decides if normal mapping is supported for the alpha mesh or not.

If you want to switch it yourself I attach a screenshot of where to do it.

PS: I am still hoping to see some recolors posted here.

Gern geschehen. Na dann Prost.

Just added the D teen alpha dress :icon_smi: .

Takes a bit longer than I expected but it is nearly finished.

I had to redo the teen D alpha cause my existing version is too different from warlokks original. Maybe that was the reason why I called it "MegaSlut". I will keep it for myself by now. But I will reuse the shoes which are still quite high for a teen and which I haven't released yet.

It still needs some ingame testing to get rid of remaining clipping and vertex weight problems.
Here are some screenshot from Milkshape:

Maybe. It's not on top of my list.

I am also working on a 34DD version. It is nearly finished.

To be honest I have already done this for D-teens for my personal use before I even started this mesh here.
I will have to give it a closer look before it is ready to get released. So maybe next weekend if I find the time.

I added two more recolors showing why I focussed on the decollete

Nothing less to expect from a high heels lover :tongue8: .

Hi again,

I have done my very best to solve all the issues.

Still two minor problems left which I cannot fix yet. If I find solutions I may come up with an update. There is some minimal clipping at the armpits left. Hardly to be noticed. Secondly the feet react quite strangly to dark textures. That's why the dark outfit is not absolutely black.

I changed my mind regarding the preview and grouped the shoes with the body instead of the alpha mesh. Doesn't make any visible difference regarding the straps. But I got rid of the shoe itself being strangely reflective. And it makes it easier to recolor for example if one likes to make some boots out of this.
The alpha dress is longer than can be seen here. Use the UV-Map to find out.

I am looking forward to see some nice recolors.

*** Update ***
With permission of Ghanima Atreides and Pestix I have made two more recolors using their textures. I have made quite some changes to the Cropped Pink Dress. And this time I have switched "stdMatAlphaBlendMode" to "none" and "stdMatAlphaTestEnabled" to "1" for the alpha texture.

*** Update ***
I corrected some vertex weights of the shoes. It lead to some funny shoe stretching in dance animation for example. I also put the mesh as seperate download.

*** Update 3-14-2007 ***
I have made a new alpha dress mesh for D teens. The dress follows the same conecpt but the shoes are different. This time real mesh straps for the shoes. The reason is that I made these shoes before I got used to normal mapping. But they are quite nice and need to get released although they are not as versatile.

Hi folks,

I am working an a new Mesh. It' s a 34D alpha dress with high heels.
Other body size may be made later on.

The goals are to achieve a realistic shape for decollete part of the dress and to have a mesh being easy to recolor.

The alpha group covers the skirt, the whole upper body except the hands, the shoes and the feet. The alpha part for the feet can be used to make sandals with different kinds of straps by only using the alpha channel. 3D effect for the straps can be achieved by normal mapping.
Existing dress textures can be used for recolors with only minor changes.
Although the example shows no underwear it is possible for example to let her wear a bra under the dress fitting the body.

I still have to get rid of some clipping, correct some vertex weights  and I am going to change the shoes a little bit.

Thanks to Pestix for allowing me to use one of her textures (originally black).
It shows the decollete shape quite good.
Thanks to Warlokk for his body shape project being the basis for this.

Feel free to make any suggestions.

The package was named by me that way in SimPE . Just credit me with my nickname "KeyserSoze".
I am looking forward to see the shoes applied to the pinup mesh.

I am very pleased that you like the shoes.

The Flip-Flop animation is not really an animation thing.
It's done by assigning certain parts of the shoe to the toe bones instead of the foot bones. While taking a step the toe stays longer on the ground than the foot. This leads to the effect that the shoe parts assigned to toe bones leave the ground much later than the feet.

sorry, but the example recolor is underwear only !

Use bodyshop to export/import it to allday or whatever you like.
Do recolors to combine the shoes with other outfits.

I hope this helps.

Can you tell me where to find the flip-flop animation meshes ?
I would be very interested to find out how it's done.
