Dress Layers

[Spinell]

I've seen some dresses for sale on the marketplace that manage to immitate some real-life draping: they manage to make an underskirt and then put on top a round-ish piece of fabric with a rouns opening.

Something like this: [IMG]http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu14/nakuru90/dark%20lolita/gothic_lolita_263.jpg [/IMG]

I want to know how do they do it: is there a way to cut the end of a flexi prim t have that rounded shape or do they do it by texture? How do they make the texture ands plan the curve?

Any help or ideas you can give me is welcomed.

Simple enough to use an alpha texture on the flexi to give the appearance of that rounded end. You can't do it to the actual shape of a flexi.

Mesh could do this fairly easily, if you know how to make mesh.

Yes I can make mesh, but I'm not sure if my custumers would like the combinations of rigged mesh on top and flowing flexi-skirts on the bottom. So I was looking to make everything out of flexis, since I've seen it can be done.

 

Could you give me more info on the alpha? I'm not sure I understood the details.

If you don't know what an alpha channel is or how to use it, start with Robin Wood's tutorials >>>> http://www.robinwood.com/Catalog/Technical/SL-Tuts/SLPages/ChannelDiscovery.html  Explore several of the tutorials in the left sidebar there as well as the one I just gave the link to.
