Beyond the natural evolution of men's clothing, I would like here to refer to the star piece, the worthy successor to
justaucorps of the seventeenth century, I speak of
habit.What is the
habit a la franaise? Technically, it's a menswear team, born in France (the queen of fashion as part of his international influence), consisting of coat, waistcoat, trousers, socks for men, ruffles, cuffs, and tie. This style of dress is implanted in the second half of the eighteenth century, and as evolving, is more functional: the vest is shorter, the sleeves are smaller, the coat is more discrete details,But according to the rococo style, clothing will not lose the precious stones, beads, embroidery, in short, will remain extravagant.It is impossible to imagine a true gentleman of the eighteenth century, our eyes are flawed by our current view, but we believe that any gentleman was a spectacular piece.Since SL I wanted to be as reliable as possible to try to copy a
habit a la franaise, and despite my personal contributions to style, I think the result comforts me.However, we must take into account the many limitations of SL, not a few artists we are in the dilemma of sacrificing realism to make the coat, I've had to sculpt a skirt, but something more realistic rigid.Here are the changes I have observed in existing creations SL on the francaise habits:-Prim skirt made with a conical, with an opening in the middle. The advantage is that you move, the downside is that you have a way too geometric and unreal.-Full coat made with various prims, is cone-shaped but more detailed, realistic, and has some prims in motion, the advantage is its realism, the disadvantage is the complicated texturing.-Skirt made from a sculpt prim: as I do, the advantage is that the form can be very close to reality and is relatively easy to texture, the downside is that it has no movement, nor conical, so that compromises realism when walking. (I thought to include an AO in each suit, but that despersonalizara who wear my clothes).-Skirt made with all prims in motion: A great solution to correct the shape and texturing, the disadvantage is that the clothes seems torn in many cases.As shown, all options are correct, and all have to sacrifice something, it's a terrible dilemma to choose one method or another, and I consider that the solutions are better or worse. But what would the perfect solution? for the moment, I am investigating.Condedemontnegre Galicia, Duke of Losada and owner of LOL XVI
