Yeah; did it last night but I'm a little slow these days.
Me too pdg...me too...it's like I'm just starting to wake up after a long sleep!

thank you! I did like the Princess of China, but it's for the genesis MFD, so I wanted something for V4.  I did 3 texture sets. tinkering with getting the shoulders to meet the without post work.  I also did a heap of victorian dresses which could be tinkered in shaping to be small crinolines through to Edwardian, and some regency, as well as late 18th century - there's a lot of Marie Antoinette stuff but little from 1780-1800 - and 17thc.  I'm messing around to get a cavalier costume out of valiant.

thank you very much!  I do feel much daunted but I've saved all this to a word document so I can print it out and see if I can manage it. I fondly believe I am attaching a pic of what I've been up to most recently.
:thanks:

Looking good.

Okay so those images(jpegs) go into a folder in your texture folder...saves changing the path in the file...I always have a folder called Sanbie...then inside that I have a new folder with the name I am calling my textures...then when I add them to the clothing the path will be right...then just follow pdgs screenshots

CardinalBiggles

yes, I use the template, enlarged for better detail

Now for the annoying part. The file hack that makes materials into poses. Make a copy of your MC6 file first in case things screw up and open the MC6 in your text editor of choice. We need to be careful not to add extra carrage returns or spaces to the file or it could get ugly.

We need to change the "mtlCollection" at the top of the file to "figure". Exactly this. No extra spacing. If we were converting the MC6 file to work on a prop and not a figure we would change "mtlCurrent" to "actor $current"

The only other thing to do is check the file referances and change the paths to point to any image files needed for your textures.

Save the file and change it's extension from MC6 to PZ2

Done.
