An experiment to create three iridescent eyeshadow colors.
Robot Boy’s patience is finally rewarded, 5 months and 15 days, from AChat accepting the design to its release in the shop.
AChat support accepted both these designs on the 17 December 2021, the wait was 5 months and 29 days before they became available in the shop.
As soon as they hit the shop, the first thing I did was find out if Robot Boy liked them,
he’s not much of a conversationalist, but he did have a smile on his face.
I was experimenting with sex clothes with some of my early designs. This dress is an example, it’s designed with a separate pair of minuscule panties, so it can be worn just as a dress, but it should also work, if the panties are removed as sex clothing in certain poses.
It was designed as a gift for a friend, who enjoys public sex role plays.
It’s frustrating, as I can’t tell if this design will work, until I see it in-world, and find out which poses don’t automatically remove the dress, and if the design looks realistic for role playing with various poses.
This design is also in the queue waiting to be released.
There’s not much more I can do with designing sex clothes, until one of my designs is finally released.
I can give you the dates, from the first submission of a design to AChat, the length of time it took for them to reply and the waiting period for the design to finally appear in the shop, but i suspect it will be depressing to read.
A design in progress that I might eventually send to AChat support. Like many designers here, I’m frustrated with the long lead up times from AChat accepting the design to the actual release in the shop. For me, and I think for many of the other designers, the waiting time has increased to five months or longer.
Thank you for your kind words Je.
Creating clothes is a lot more complicated than just doing a cut and paste.
First you start with an AChat mesh map, which you can download from the AChat website. You create your design using the mesh map, with a graphic design program, like Photoshop or Gimp.
Then textures and details are added to the basic design. When designing clothes, the textures need to align at certain points, and the edges must be clean and sharp. Details create the illusion of clothing, these can be details like zippers, lace or pockets.
Because the finished result should ‘wrap’ around the avatar for a three dimensional effect, the design and the textures need to meet seamlessly and details need to be carefully placed.
The AChat cloth editor lets you view what your design looks like when it is ‘wrapped’ around an avatar.
The pictures show a basic AChat mesh map, the finished design in a graphics program and the design when it is ‘wrapped’ around the avatar.
