====================================================================== SOME INFO ====================================================================== For support, visit my support forum at Renderotica. http://www.renderotica.com/content-artists/Causam/1386 I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts Copyright 2018 Causam ---------------------------- For quite some time I've been wanting to improve the Atomic Hot Pants product, but the project stayed in the closet because frankly, the AHP just wasn't that popular. However, recently there has been an uptick in sales for the AHP so it simply had to be done in order to be fair to my customers. IDNSS is the result of that effort. The changes made were in three areas: Firstly I got rid of the inner layer of the mesh - it just made textures a nightmare and honestly they never fit right with the additonal bulk, which also ran the vertex count up to twice what it needed to be. That issue has been solved in IDNSS. Secondly I refitted the base mesh file to both G3 and G8 in order to fix some things that just bugged the hell out of me. I also changed the geometry of the salvaged outer shell in order to help it conform much better to DAZ figures. This turned out really well IMHO, so much so that this in conjunction with the lighter weight mesh made it easy to reshape the item and include the low rise morph. Lastly I got rid of that nasty blue cotton nap material. It just never did what I intended and frankly I was compelled to look away from the screen every time I loaded it to try tweaks. So out it went, and I've replaced it with African Yellow And Blue, which looks much better. I also tweaked the UVs a bit to get a better projection. The Pink Ribbed Cotton I kept along with a minor tweak or two that makes it a nicer corduroy texture which follows the edges of the holes nicely. I think the result is a lot more like the shorts I originally envisioned. They're snugger, span the butt crack more naturally, and perfectly accentuate the model's butt cheeks. I changed the name to reflect these improvements. You'll enjoy the new hot pants. I've had more render ideas just putting them through the paces due to what I think is their stunning visual impact than I can ever have time to indulge. That pleasure is left to you, the artist customer, to enjoy. Please share your creations with me on my support forum, I'd like to see what you come up with. ====================================================================== CONTENTS ====================================================================== ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\IDNSS_G3\Morphs\Causam\Base\ Low Rise.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\IDNSS_G3\UV Sets\Causam\Base\ default.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\IDNSS_G3\ IDNSS_G3_4125.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\IDNSS_G8\Morphs\Causam\Base\ Low Rise.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\IDNSS_G8\UV Sets\Causam\Base\ default.dsf ..\My Library\data\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\IDNSS_G8\ IDNSS_G8_4125.dsf ..\My Library\People\Genesis 3 Female\Clothing\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\Textures\ African Yellow And Blue.duf African Yellow And Blue.duf.png Pink Corduroy.duf Pink Corduroy.duf.png ..\My Library\People\Genesis 3 Female\Clothing\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\ IDNSS_G3.duf IDNSS_G3.duf.png ..\My Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Clothing\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\Textures\ African Yellow And Blue.duf African Yellow And Blue.duf.png Pink Corduroy.duf Pink Corduroy.duf.png ..\My Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Clothing\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\ IDNSS_G8.duf IDNSS_G8.duf.png ..\My Library\Runtime\Textures\Causam\I Dream Nuclear Short Shorts\ African Yellow and Blue.jpg African Yellow and Blue_h.jpg African Yellow and Blue_n.jpg Pink Ribbed Cotton.jpg Pink Ribbed Cotton_h.jpg Pink Ribbed Cotton_n.jpg ====================================================================== PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS AND COMPATIBILITY ====================================================================== Programs Required: DAZ Studio 4.10 (should work with earlier versions well, though I haven't tested this).
