Hello - Running into an issue with some cloths and wanted to phone a friend for a second option. I have sculpted and can push the shoulder cloth down in Blender and Zbrush, but I'm seeing if there's other best practices out there to improve my workflow, design and basic construction of the shirt to avoid the problem area, Also while I can re-topo the shirt and alter the way the cloth sits, I have not done so yet. Thanks in advance. Goal: Natural drape of cloth across the shoulders for light weight fabric shirts, suit shirts, tshirts, etc. Not have the excess material across the upper shoulders to the neck so it sits on the avi more naturally in a variety of usual game poses and motions. Shirt made in Marv Designer. Sits on the tpose well, no issues. Brought into Blender, binded just fine to Gianni through Avastar 2.92. Uploaded into SL just fine as well, wearing it and all good. Problem: I've attached some screen shots and circled where I'm having an issue. With the initial T-pose in Marv Designer, its causing the fabric to float. Its floating the fabric from the neck to the shoulders and there's no natural draping of the fabric when the arms are down in a natural position. After its binded and the arms are moved either in Blender or on the avi in SL, the shoulders are just all kinds of not right. The fabric isn't conforming to the slope and shape of the lower neck to shoulder muscles. in SL , the neck is also being stretched to the left and right, again not draping around the neckline as it should. Hopefully the screenshots help illustrate what I'm talking about. Question: Any solutions that are common I'm just perhaps not applying? Any best practices when working this area of a shirt where this isn't really even an issue for creators? Question: In Marv Designer, how does particle distance affect that kind of fabric rest when the arms are up or down? The shirt in Blender is about 9,200 faces My particle distance is 15 presently to reduce testing workflow, reduce metrics, and keep deformation capability (which is a *****ty anyway, so will be changing it.) Question: Is applying physics to shirts or other cloths a thing in SL mesh and apparel? If so, thats done via Avastar? Anything I'm not thinking about I should be? Thanks again for anyone's time and pointers. Beers up!

The name of this hoodie, store, LM if possible? The LM to this outfit (it can't be found at TMD or Gabriel main store). The name of the shirt and LM if possible? LM to this outfit?

Hello sl folks WCIF this t-shirt?

Hey there, everybody! I've been on SL for a short time now and I've bought many, many items already but I almost exclusively stick to dresses because I can't find any shirts that fit with the typical skirts you can find when doing a routine search on the marketplace. Specifically I'm looking to start by pairing a basic, smart looking shirt/blouse with a pencil skirt, one of the typical ones offered by few of the creators you can find on the marketplace. I'm looking for simple, fitted high quality shirts for women that feature buttons at the front, are designed to be worn tucked, aren't cropped, oversize (like those 'boyfriend' shirts), wrinkly, too casual or too sexy and without too many embellishments like bows, scarves, ties etc. which I can successfully pair with any of the popular pencil skirts. The shirt should be relatively long-sleeved (not sleeveless, shoulder-less or backless) and cover my midriff entirely so you can't see my belly button, preferably should have all the buttons done up and preferably shouldn't be high-waisted (such that it should be paired with a high-waisted skirt or pants) A quick search on the marketplace in the women's shirt category comes up with a lot of items like these: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/PPD-Take-Me-Home-PastelsC/8987449 (oversize, wrinkled) https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/ISON-yso-tied-shirt-white/12472367 (cropped, tied) https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/ISON-cropped-button-up-white/9411585 (cropped, short) when really I'm looking for something like the ones in the images I uploaded... (I know the skirts in the pictures https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Full-Perm-Rigged-Mesh-Pencil-Skirt-V2/4034245 and https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Mesh-Rigged-Pencil-Skirts-Set-of-Slim-and-Wide-waist-skirts/3222202 is for sale but I can't find the shirts) ... The pencil skirts which I'm looking to pair are; https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/TETRA-Pencil-Skirt-Black/10674400 and https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Just-BECAUSE-Tori-Pencil-Skirt-FatPack-MaitreyaBellezaSlink/11067531... they're really neat and if I can fit them correctly I'll happily purchase a Fatpack, much like I would if I can find some shirts that fit. I've tried demos of different shirts and paired them with demos of different skirts but nothing seems to fit thus far; they either expose the belly or clip through... is there a rule of thumb when pairing tops with bottoms so that they appear neat and seamless? This is my first forum post, so thanks everyone.

I am currently looking to commission a mesh creator, to create a/some big-bellied/fat/pregnant-looking mesh shirt(s) (most likely a t-shirt, and tank) for the signature - gianni mesh body. That means you will need to obtain a pre-existing shirt for the gianni body via the marketplace, or you'll need to obtain the dev kit which you can do here; https://www.signature-sl.fr/devkits Yes I'm aware that I could buy one on the marketplace and just modify the stomach(s) of said shirt & tanks. I would rather stimulate the Second Life economy, as it were, and pay someone to make it for me. Very flexible on rights/usage a& costs as long as it turns out great~! Feel free to contact me in-world, which you should be able to do by searching "RiderDavis" in-world or (if the link works) by copy/pasting and clicking in your viewer chat: secondlife:///app/agent/c07bd7d0-1c34-4e27-b86f-d637ad3aa9f2/im Thank you in advance! ~Rider

I have Sinful needs female 'objects' (don't want to get banned) and every single one of my outfits just totally ignores them and they pop out of my shirts/dresses. Funnily enough my Tropical Girl Avatar bikini and Q.B Tiny Bikini work just fine on them, but nothing else! I have the Sinful needs Alpha 1 on. The Sinful needs FitMesh breasts VENUS, FIORE, GRAND 1.24 and its physics II. This is likely a simple, stupid thing I'm missing, but I'd like help! I have no idea what I'm doing! No tutorial online seems to help!

Hello, I have a classic avatar , it looks fine in its default cloths but when i try to change the cloth and shoes etc they appear torn, there are white patches all over them , whats actually happening is that avatar is taking only one alpha at a time , so if i wear alpha provided with new shoes , shoes appear correctly but then t -shirt alpha detaches automatically , and t shirt appears torn , if i wear t shirt alpha the shoes alpha detaches and shoes appear torn , i have also tried wearing the alpha provided with default suit still it does not helps .
