Final Thoughts

Pretty unique day as not many of the posts occur that often, good to have something out of the ordinary every once in a while, but that’s pretty much it for today, ’til the next log, see ya.

Guess Guide: Clothing Details

I found another topic to write about, so here’s something I’d like to share about my process when making clothes look less bring or whatever.

ㅤ
Do your sleeves, or any clothing in general, just look flat and mundane? Well, I have a quick and easy solution that I use to make clothes have some texture and shape.

Step 1:

ㅤ
Firstly, start by shortening the forearm part of the sleeve, to leave some space for the hand. Next, increase the width of the whole sleeve, so it doesn’t look tight or part of the arm. Even with the first step, it already looks better than before.

Step 2:

ㅤ
Secondly, add small segments poking out from the bottom sleeve node. Then have some the nodes zig-zag back into the top node of the arm segment, to simulate creases in the clothing. Once you’ve done that, copy and paste the segment and children to the opposite side, if it wasnt obvious from the GIF. If you want you can also add some segments coming out from the top part of the arm/sleeve.

Also, it’s optional, but one thing I like to do is curve the two nodes sticking out by 1, to make it look less flat at the bottom.

Examples:

ㅤ
That’s basically all you need to do in order to make your sleeve look less flat and more textured, doesn’t matter how you do it, just helps make the clothing look more like it’s being worn rather than being placed over. It works not just on sleeves, but on pants, shirts, any clothing really, unless of course it’s like, not made out of fabric or something.

Anyways, that’s pretty much how I make the clothing details on my figures, not much but thought I’d share it anyways, maybe this helps somebody idk, that’s all for now, see ya.
