This doesn’t look like much but it was a bitch to make this detail junction look right. This should give me enough space to rivet some cool garters 😛

I didn’t have much time and my sleep cycle is all messed up again, sorry!

All front buckles done and I’ve been tightening the corset to get a bit of flesh “pinching” all around. I think it’s improving the look quite a bit.

Lots of pictures today, I know, i wanted to show some good progress.

Also as a bonus, some very promising creasing tests. Not final because I’d rather get all the corset parts done first.

This might not look like much but after drawing a few 2D mockups I ended up reshaping the corset again, trying to get the right “feel” is quite a pain, I adjusted the waistline some more and narrowed down the sides again. Those pictures are the result for today.

Oh yeah also added the zip channel on the lower body.

I’ve been suffering from some pretty bad headaches for the past two days, but I still got some work done.

Don’t take this as face value, it really is a “shell” in need of a lot of detailing.

Ended up redoing the basic corset shape 3 or 4 times today, I settled on this one.

There is a bit more ribcage definition than the previous one and, in my opinion, it looks less “restricted”. The goal is to have it look fairly comfortable but with an aggressive look.

I’ve also wrapped the lower body to start building the shorts/ leotar-type thing I’m going for there.

Yes this is a corset.

But at the same time I’m not really making “a”  corset. The corset only happens to be the centerpiece of what I am trying to make.

This is a first draft, I spent the better part of yesterday trying to find reference material for what I had in mind.

So far, I don’t like it, but that’s why this is a “first draft” right?

It’s looking good! It’s also missing a bunch of bits that I forgot to include in the model, but the textures are at final size so that should give you an idea 🙂

I think I will to tone down the specularity on the backing too… The shine… it bothers me.

I’ve managed to share texture between all the minor straps. I usually don’t do this because it has a tendency to mess up with the normal mapping. But hey, it works.

This is definitely not my favourite UVmap. There is way too much empty space along the side panels, but at least I saved about a quarter of it with the texture sharing.

The harness is kind of this big mono-block thing so I had to cut int into pieces, hopefully no one will notice the texture seams.

There is still a bit of room I can use later for things like rivet backs and my logo.

After initially trying to make the low polygon muzzle cage a single piece and failing, this is what I got so far:

Another reason to keep the straps is that I still want to attempt saving texture area on the lattice-work by having them all share it, the jury is still out on this one.
