Second last (for now!), Migamoo's Mixtape boardshorts added to Pooklet's editted top mesh. Only really, it's the other way around.
(Again with the having the wrong mesh in game, but eh. So long as it works)
I really wish there were more skintones for this mesh. GP's edit of HP's (heh) are too yellowy for my taste, and these aren't my favourite either.
BUT ANYWAY. Less whining from me.

(there's also a magenta-ish one i nthere that I would have screencapped but Gadwin crapped out on me)
Sexy Feet
Block Feet
One last pair of togs to go and then tutorial tiem, then some other stuff. I might try and do the same kinda thing for a few other body shapes too, any suggestions?
EDIT: Fixed link for sexy feet mesh.

Date: 2010-02-26 12:33 pm (UTC)Well, considering there's no similar male androgynous shape, I'd like to cast my vote for the lean bodybuilder. Despite the pectoral cleavage, it's the best muscular mesh I've found yet-- more than Maxis but still sort of... on a similar BODY to Maxis. If there were two meshes, besides a sexyfooted nude, I could wish for on every body shape ever, it's a blockfoot bodysuit that ISN'T overwritten by the sexyfeet, and the base game moto racer outfit. I use them as uniforms in my back-burnered Alien Invasion 'hood, and I'd LOVE to add new body shapes to the Alliance.
(Also, apparently skintones are easy using the color binning tool, but are even easier using Body Shop to clone a skintone that's already on your custom mesh and replace it with the textures you actually want.)
I seriously thank you for doing this-- it makes it a lot easier to add new body shapes when there are clothes besides nudes and tart-wear (and most of what's available for most of the bodybuilder meshes counts as tart-wear, too-- T-shirts do not work like that!) available! I've nabbed the whole lot so far and I'm not even playing a 'hood where I can use them.

Date: 2010-02-26 01:01 pm (UTC)I've only ever tried, in the line of more muscular shapes, the Athletic shape from Insim and I was thinking of doing some for it - I will try out the LBB in game and see how I like it, but at the very least, I'm sure I can knock out a non-vacuum sealed pecs top mesh if such thing does not exist. I'm not sure which the moto racer ones are, are they the red blue and white jumpsuit type things?
(Yeah, the only problem with using that method on these particular meshes is that having a skin with boobs painted on, on a flat chested mesh looks really quite bizzare, otherwise I would do that in a shot)
No worries, glad you like 'em, even if you can't use them in your hood ;D And erk, html fail is my middle name :D

Date: 2010-02-26 01:18 pm (UTC)Those are indeed the motoracer meshes-- I figured I could just use one of the flatter-chested versions here for this bodyshape, although I haven't looked at them in game. But nobody ever does anything like that for the custom menfolk, alas. And a non-vacuum-sealed shirt? Would be awesome.
(Fair point-- I'd guess the men's textures would look equally weird. Someday when my list of Things To Do is shorter, I'll have to do some blending. And futzing, because I don't like the way male pectoral textures look on these.)
I shall use them! Someday! Honest! When I get back to the aliens-- the current obsession is Medieval stuff, and though I'd love to fling some androgyny in there... well, that's a mess of meshing.
Tried to end end a link with /i, not /a. Still getting my hand back in with proper HTML.

Date: 2010-02-26 01:26 pm (UTC)Ah, I thought so, though I have a few replacement textures in for them (though, the remind me vaguely of NGE plug suits so I might have to reinstate them). I will see what I can do, and definately go for the de-vacuumed shirt. Every bodyshape desperately needs one of them.
(Yeah, neither are good, though I have no idea what I would do instead, hence my whining XD I would like to see what you would come up with :D)
XDDD, no pressure :D Though I reckon with an alpha skirt mesh with the androgeny top (oh GOD, and I thought I had done with this) you could have some interesting sprites lurking around.
(don't mind me, is getting late XD)

This is why I shouldn't be allowed to talk to anyone else with a project list. We both end up going 'what a good idea!' and our lists get longer.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-27 03:50 am (UTC)Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, hopefully it'll work out :D
(Ohhhhh god yes, hell, I shouldn't be allowed to read anyone elses entries because my to do list tripes every time I do so XD)

Date: 2010-02-26 01:49 pm (UTC)POINT IS that if that project died it's likely I'll fit myself into that gap and Make Things.

Date: 2010-02-26 01:44 pm (UTC)I'm going to make at least some of the blends I'm screenshotting *at this very moment* into Androgyny skins, though. I keep dragging my feet on getting enough for this bodyshape to make it worth it into my game, which is SILLY since I am tired of only have thin and pudgy bodies in my game.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-26 01:55 pm (UTC)I would love to see them! (are they the enayla ones you previewed a little while ago?) Especially since I am in something of the same boat there, the only skins for this are ones I am not fussed on, and the normal and pudgy maxis shapes are boring.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-26 02:41 pm (UTC)Yes! I finally got the wretched things finished. XD Oh, the troubles the darkest tone gave me... And I've also got a raft of ten others I made while I was avoiding taking screen shots of those eight.
Er, anyway. I might go nuts and make skins out of all however-many-I-end-up-with since the hardest part, once I've figured out what parts to use where, is re-importing the textures with SimPE. We shall see! At least half will happen because I Need Bodyshapes.
(Ooh. And if a male androgyny mesh happens, maybe the two could use the same skin...?)
no subject
Date: 2010-02-27 03:58 am (UTC)Well I certainly encourage you to go nuts :D And I will most certainly download them because I also Need More Bodyshapes.
(YES. And they would be even smaller files, far as skintone files go :D)

Date: 2010-02-26 06:05 pm (UTC)Umm is it possible that you accidentally put the 'download' link in the place of the 'sexy feet' link?
As for other body shapes, the only other bodyshape I've ever tried out and liked, but still deleted because there were hardly any outfits for it was Dr. Pixel's Wellrounded body shape.

Date: 2010-02-27 04:07 am (UTC)I'm kinda torn between that one and doing more meshes for the rengal. I will definately give it a shot though :D

Date: 2010-02-26 07:56 pm (UTC)I do love this project that you are doing, though! :) It's inspiring me to make a sim based off the clothes.
