Lolita in the Sims 2

I've been working on a little project after I realized I could construct my ideas with 3D work. I've been using The Sims 2 as a way of viewing my creations and seeing how they'd look. It's easier to do this since before I could only scribble on a piece of paper the ideas for jumpers and one-pieces that I've had. But since then I've gotten a bit carried away...

I'm actually making an in-game store for lolita clothes... I guess it's a way for me to cope with the fact that there's no culture or history in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their art is about as unattractive as a teenager calling Myspace shots 'photography'. The good old Savannah is where I need to be, or at least Destin, Florida. I'm at least within seven hours away from my hometown.

I digress. I also need good shots of a few popular prints so I can attempt to make well known outfits in my game. I've made an Angelic Pretty jumper- but that's all other than my own designs. I'm surprising myself too, I'm starting to like more of Metamorphose's designs. It might be that I'm getting old, or that I'm depraved of things frilly and well-made. But I've decided to make a few of those too...

In One Month...

In one month I'll be moving back to Savannah and once I do that I'll be shopping at thrift stores as much as I can to find some broken down furniture I can lolify. At these times I'm glad I was a tomboy in my younger years or I would have never learned from my father how to make things out of lumps of wood. I also want a nice round table for my fiance and I to have breakfast on- though I'll have to measure it to a pre-existing round glass since I'd like to do the restaurant thing to put a tablecloth, then a glass plate to make cleaning easy.

One other thing I'm looking forward to is SCAD. I need to ask my friends about the fabric printing machines they have in the fashion design buildings. I have a lot of prints I made via computer that I would like to see stretched over some cotton based fabric. That would be nice- and a lot simpler for a lot of jumpers I have ideas of. Other than that...

3D Meshing has become a breeze for me. The only difference between outfits that go on 3D people and items are that... items are very much easier due to the fact that you don't have to place bone assignments on every single vertex. Once I'm completely done with my little line of jumpers and outfits I'll post them.

Which reminds me I need photos of several prints from brand companies since I want to try recreating the outfits in my Sims 2 game.

It's fun.
