Fashion Factory??

[rickets]

I think I'm a fan of Fashion Factory.  It's got a fair number of kinks and I think I've developed carpal tunnel from arrowing around but in just a few mouse clicks I can import my own seamless pattern and create this:



No Photoshop, no cutting and pasting and no sliding around the transparency setting.  I think it's kind of amazing.

You're scaring me... ok i'll try a bit more today...

This same effect can be duplicated in photoshop using a grayscale of one of the solid colored dresses, the seamless texture as a new layer, and the multiply function.
Of course, if you are using MS paint this is mind blowing.

It doesn't seem to be doing anything fancy.

...is it wrong for me to LOVE the jacket the man is wearing in that first outfit you made, rickets? Because I do. :oops:
Not too psyched about the bumblebee clown trousers though.

And Will, hell yesh!

And I may have to download this, if only to have fun. ^^

Its a little odd but if you like it thats your problem :lol: Nah :wink: just kidding

We should start a campaign to encourage EVERY sims player to do at least one recolor, if only to try it.

I totally agree.  Why, just yesterday I replaced the texture for the FFS Lot Debugger to something more pleasing.  You know, with an actual bug on it.

Thank You for the translation Chlyn

Thank You Rickets, I'll try the joystick button to save instead of the sims2pack save thingy.

Does anyone know the best size for textures? I imported some but they were huge & blurry in FF. Should i make them the size of the ones in FF? If so what size are those?

That jacket actually looks like something that Carson from "Queer Eye..." would wear.
Not too bad but I definately wouldn't download it.

This is very interesting. I wonder if it will be released in my country

Has anybody been able to import meshes or are the maxis meshes the only choice? I'm off to find some patterns and textures now.

:idea:     I think there should be a concentrated effort by the members of this forum to inform other simmers about this prog... I know for me SimPe was to intimidating to even try and make my own recolours, but this has great possibilities, even if it's got major drawbacks....

The texture seems to be bleeding onto the legs a bit.

[Doursim]

It's "bleeding" because all maxis textures have a built in shadow under their garments (for skirts and in the neckline of tops etc)  If you were to just floodfill a page with a texture, that shadow would appear as the texture.

Ahahaha, I remember seeing this in EB Games here in Denmark aaages ago and it was in English so that should be available somewhere...

Never thought anyone were using it, though >_>

All the little girl dresses have the equivalent of pantaloons under them.  I have no idea why unless it's an anti-perv measure.

wow. I have never heard of this program before. :S

Wierd, but I would prefer it doing the old Photoshop way. I guess I like to manipulate the textures, and make it my own rather than just pasting the originaly picture on a MESH. Plus it looks like it streches it out, and makes it blurry in that program. But thats just my opinion!
