New Socks Model for Flower
🕑 Added 2023-08-24 20:09:55 +0000 UTCThe left picture is the original socks model and the right picture is the new one. As you can see the knitting effect is gone, and it is more simplified and smooth. I know some of you might feel mixed about this change, but here is why I did it:
The UV of the old material caused tons of stretching issues which made it look mushy from certain angles, and it looked odd in some lighting situations. It was also unoptimized and was more taxing on my VRAM for rendering since the material had a ray traced fabric material.
I think the new socks look more stylistic, and personally I think it's cuter.

While both styles have merit, knitted wool socks are for warmth while the smooth slinky socks are for cuteness!

I like the new style. Yeah, the older one had more texture, but if it's causing problems, I have no problem seeing it go. The new one is just as cute as ever.

Unfortunately I’m not exactly sure how to fix your issue, but I would just trying looking for any tutorials that can help, and if that doesn’t work I would just experiment around and see if I could find the issue.

Ah, I had no idea. I've just been trying to create my own custom models and I don't know where a model shop is. And even then I still have trouble making and sculpting my own stuff anyway. Not just a custom model with it's own proportions or pieces of armor or clothing. Sorry if I'm being a bother. Just wondered if you had any knowledge or advice to give

Well fortunately I didn’t have to make the base model. The base model was made by open pony, and you can download the base model over on their discord server: https://discord.gg/CMBqQkt8J8 Although keep in mind, it is just the base model, you will have to model a mane and tail by yourself.

Firstly, I want a tutorial on how you make your models. I've tried using blender and I cand seem to get the right modifiers applied to be able to make the entire thing sculptable. Even the Boolean modifier when applying it to the entire structure has issues and only seems to apply to the first part I selected despite being all one thing now. And secondly. I ADORE this kind of clothing style more than "traditional" and "realistic" clothing. Gives it more flare and character

Everyone has to make a few changes when you don't have ILM's rendering farm for your models... I also like the brighter color. You may want to do something similar fir dearest Flower's eye color a bit. Hard to see pupils in there, and then track her vision POV...

The knitting was pretty damn cute but I totally understand render limitations. I'll live with it, she's adorable regardless of what she wears

It renders much smoother, but I wonder if the felt shader added just lightly would give a more dynamic effect, as if they were satin or something very soft.

The new one is much better, cleaner, and pristine

Now it looks like cotton socks instead of woolen socks, and that's just fine. In fact I think the brighter colours are more cheerful.
