Work In Progress - Carmilla Neck Piece Modelling

Hello there dear Patrons,

I'm working on the shoulder/neck piece for Carmilla's gown.

First, I started to sketch the main ribs in 3ds max to get some idea of the whole thing's proportions and came to some conclusions.

Work In Progress - Carmilla Dress Project Start

And it has begun. Starting the Carmilla Dress project.

First off - the dress form. I think there will be some fun with the details because the form is really simple. I'd like to keep the back lacing and do it a little bit like a corset-dress.

Stay tuned for more!

Then I thought of an updated BCDress Jacket version. I even did a brand new lining ...

Work In Progress - Concubine First Screen Tests

Hello there,

these are the first in game tests I did with the new retex.

I think she looks pretty good but still there are some glitches to fix.

First I have to fix the armpieces rig - they will be attached to the spine bone in the first version and move with the dress, then I will try to maybe add a bit of upper arm to them.

Second I have to add some more leg geometry since the skirt ...

Work In Progress - The Concubine Materials
