Some Textures /Alpha / Supporter Announcement

Today I spent a little time playing around with textures.
I have the elegant skirt which I love but not sure I like how plain it looks.
So I decided to play with Paint.net and made an OK looking texture pretty much resembling the one used for the chest in my heart mod.
Here is what I did.
Oh and I guess I made stockings, but they are VERY simple stockings. Nothing special here.
I am still debating if I will scrap everything tbh and start fresh with it.
I like how the dresses look but not sure they are to a level that is releasable to the public.
Especially the less nudey dress (the first one with the bow) 
BTW I am thinking of doing female/transgendered exclusives meaning that some clothing will ONLY be available to that specific Gender. In this case a good example will long dress with the belt bow, for the females and then the short variant of the first elegant dress for the transsexuals.

Please note that the less skimpy dress is still in development as I have too many clippings, I am OK with that with a long dress as I honestly notice many modders suffer from that. But there is still a bit of an issue with even panties and stockings, but this is ONLY the test versions anyway. Final touches will be made if I decide to release them.














A saw a video the other day and I may make my first weapon mod soon as well. Not sure but we will see. So much modding to do so little time. I feel like my Frill Hat Release went fairly well, considering it is far from perfect. I can care less for Endorsements and likes though of course I ALWAYS appreciate them and it really puts I guess my work out there. I did not get as many downloads as I expected but as of this EXACT moment I have 27 Downloads and 4 Likes on Lovers Lab  and I have 64 downloads and 4 Endorsements on Nexus    To me those are pretty good conversions rates. It says 1/16 people liked my work on Nexus and 1/6.75 people liked my work on Lovers Lab. So because of this I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank you.
But more on that to those who constantly support my work in which the information below is to them.

 Thank you for your support.

To all my downloaders/Supporters and Likers/Endorsers,

Thank you so very much for downloading my work and hats. I am ever so grateful for the on going support. There are some people who I must always Thank who always tend to support my work which is so sweet and without your support I would probably have quited a long time ago, especially considering that my skill is far from as good as my idol Speedbuster xD and some of the other moders out there.  I have even decided that from today on I am going to make a new rule.
To show appreciation to those who tend to support my work (this is via likes/endorsements/comments/feedback/contributions/pics stuff like that) 

Announcement on Alpha's and Supporters.

When it comes to Alpha's I will still be doing them and giving them to those who provide feedback and the usual way, but people who are on lovers lab already know they can contact me if they want an alpha and were not already invited, for nexus it is the same thing, just go to my page there and ask me when you see me working on a mod. I will say yes to some people but not all.
Now this is where the Appreciation comes in. For those that I notice tend to be supports of my work (ie the examples mentioend above), I will give a higher priority to provide the Alpha passwords.

Supporter Exclusives. 

Now the other thing for supporters.
I will (Mainly as my skills get better) be providing supporter only gear with my mods which I will figure out if it would involve passwords and stuff like this. I may even do tiers so like for instance someone like Antipathy or KosuKosu who have been major supporters on LL or say SacSac and/ or Omaline from Nexus who also supported most of my work likes/endorses/say my next mod per say. I will try to mail them the password for either the extra RAR that is password protected or the Link which I might just include on the files (or to be safe links that are only available via my blog what ever storage site I am using ie Mediafire/4share/Mega etc.) Some of the things to expect with supporter exclusives will be things like say a clothing mod, say an extra outfit that fits the set or variant. Or Say for like some cases a Hat. The exclusives with sometimes also consist of test work that scrapped (there actually is ALOT more work done then what I show like my Ninja Outfit never shown) in some cases I may tease with pics on the mod release (or did posting about the work I did but never released for example say The Classy Panties) but for the most part I want to surprise them if anything.

 This is a very small thing but it is my way to say thanks, because tbh I kind of expected no one to like me work, heck for the first 2 months I had my blog I only had 5 views a day more or less.

So to all who have shown support 
THANK YOU VERY MUCH :D

Enough of my rambling it's time to get back to modding :D.
If I have energy on Thursday/Friday I will be working on my Skyrim body, I actually did a few small touch ups on it last night.

Frill Hats for ALL!!

HEY GUYS!!
Update:

Hey guys if you having any troubles with the texture of the Necklace please down laid this file 
http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/24131
It is the speedbuster collection. I will try to upload a direct fix when I have a moment I just made a mistake in the name pathing for the folder with the files.

Thanks poontank for the heads up!

For those just want a quick smaller fix here is the file.
Fixes for necky's



 Finally it is time!!!


It is now time for the release of the Seductive Frill Sets' Mini top hats (Sorry hats and necky only)

I finally decided to take a little tile to chance a all race/class/bodytype friendly mod.
This is the Frill Mini Top Hats.
They basically come in about 22 colors and then a white vial/black vial variants for purposes.
I will be honest, these hats are MAINLY for the purpose of matching mods, nameley ones I've released (publically) but I will be happy to make ones to match other items and sets if the mod has enough popularity. Keep in mind I will probably expand on this mod.

Installing is bassically in the read me , drag and drop xD.

Please note there are a few slight issues with the alpha channel on character screens in in VERY few lights (like most hairs have but that's just game related)



























Locations:



Please note I DO take request for this hat to be colored in your colors you like to match mods it may not already match ^_^.
There are credits to be given.
Speedbuster - For the Suicup necklace used to block those disgusting seems no one likes.
KameleonKlick from Deviant art for the wonderful Texture that I used for several items now. 
Movomo and Gerra6 for their wonderful non give up assistance with the alpha channel issues I've incured.

Enjoy

Another Dress

So after a long rant to my Friend KosuKosu1, I decided that I am going to try to spend more time before releasing mods. This is for 2 reasons mainly.
1) I am not 100% satisfied about how some of my clothing comes out and I cannot bare to look at them in comparison to other modders at times. So I decided that I need to become a better moddler and my first attempt was not so so so bad.
I spent a few hours tweaking this mesh and making sure it looks good and eventually came out with something that looked great in blender.






I am trying to really put emphasis in areas where there maybe ripples and such like that.
It looks like a workable model from here. Then I do in the game.






It looks not so great in the game, I mean OK it works but I feel it could look a lot better.
This is where number 2 comes in.
2) I will spend more time on textures, because I do not mean to sound I am not necessarily a bad 3D modeller (I think) but I do think that I could be better and I realize that these textures I have are not doing me much justice. So if I can learn to do textures that actually go with the planned idea I will have a nice concept. This is something I need to work on. I will play around with some more texture things. Though as known that as always these textures are ONLY for testing purposes. To make sure that I got a mesh that works things like that. The real job will be to make the actual textures that will go for both this and the other skirt. For this set it is likely that the armor will be on the right arm instead.

Simple Frill Tutorial

Hey guys I was recently asked by a friend how to make Frills in blender. Now if your advanced in blender obviosuly this method can be ignored but if your like me and always looking for simple and quick tricks to get the effect your looking for then this tutorial is for you.
This tutorial is all picks and no real post just to help others who may want to know how to do this as well. :)


Actually it is CTRL+ or - Thanks KosuKosu1 for pointing that out ;)

In game they should look more or less like these socks but higher.


 Remember this is a beginner tutorial so do not kill me if it is not the best looking frill in the world (hell mine is a bit rushed cause I just made time to do this)
This could help with other items like bra's Shirts and skirts too ;)
Anyway I hope this may help others who want/ need it

Thanks
