Default skirt too long?
Thank you for these great tutorials! after a couple of attempts I got my new mesh but as per the shot attached I have made something wrong. I think the skirt is too long - see how awful is the bottom of the skirt nearby the leg !
what have I made wrong? how can I repair?
thank you for your help

Alisar - I don't think that's too long - that's right about where Tig put hers, a few sim-inches above the knee. It does look like maybe you pulled the bottom edge of the dress down too far in comparison to the top of the leg, though - you're getting a little bit of a "cone" effect it seems with that, so you might want to either pull the leg down a little bit more, or lift the skirt a tad.

The problem you're getting with the stretching on the underside is pretty normal with patterned textures. If you look at that last skinny little row of polygons at the bottom of the skirt, that's the part that's mapped to the underside. Easiest thing to do is to make sure that part is completely solid on your textures - either dark brown or beige in the case of your textures would work fine.

And the weirdness you're getting when the sim sits crosslegged, with the legs poking through the skirt, is 100% completely normal and to be expected - and there's nothing that can really be done about it, so don't worry about it. Happens with Maxis dresses too.

natwel - If you notice at the end of the tutorial in the "Oops" bit, Tig explains that you should slim down the top of the leg too, as it will look a bit bulgey at the top if you just pull it down.

That's one superb tutorial, that is!
It was truly a very helpful tutorial, that one. I couldn't follow up with your first tutorial, the one with gown, so I started with this, and amazingly, this worked! I made my first dress thanks to you!
You can check out the pictures:




Oh, and about the bulge in the legs, well, in my game, nothing of that sort appeared!
I'm currently, recoloring the mesh, to make a set of teen spring dresses!
Thanks a ton for all your help, I truly appreciate it!

As this does not relate to this tutorial but regular skinning issues, please ask questions like that in the Body Shop Skinning area, randi21taco.

I've tried this tut, and the beginning and the third successfully, but when I'm trying to make the skirt shorter, it always moves up the upper leg, and in return it makes the hips/thighs look skinnier than normal. [It makes the hips look thinner than it is supposed to be.] How do I keep it from doing that, or how do I fix it? Please and Thanks..

Lillz, once you have moved things, you then would select the vertices of the top of the legs (and the skirt where it meets the legs) - do one leg at a time! - and then make the ring bigger or smaller (just like I have you do with the skirt) Then repeat with the other leg.

Awesome tutorial.
It all worked, but after fixing the UV mapping and before changing the texture, when I put it into body shop the skin of the person looked weird. It was kind of rough everywhere and the boundaries between colors were very visible. The maxis ones all look a lot smoother.
