Default Replacement PTs: Work in Progress

[strangetomato]

I was playing around with BodyShop a little over lunch, and here's a work in progress shot of a potential PT.

Some changes have been made to facial structure, but it keeps with the theme of the original - thin cheeks, flat nose (though bigger and lower on the face), and thin lips (wider, and a different shape). I changed the eyes, and the shape of the brows, and gave her more chin.

I'll probably work on her some more, but I like how she looks so far.

Is there a way to change just the ears in BodyShop? I've only seen a way to adjust the entire face shape towards the elf template, but not just the ears.

You can change the size of the ears. It's one of the sliders, maybe under the full face section.

Looking good!

I was too slow replying...

I do know about the ear size slider. I'm wondering about shape, not size. There's no way to change that for ears individually, is there? That's such a letdown. I'd also like to be able to adjust the angle of the ears to make them stick out more.

Oh, sorry. I forgot you were trying for pointy ears. I didn't read your question well enough, either.

No, I don't know of a way to do that, without using the full face slider. Though I really wish you could. I'd also like to be able to choose the flat alien nose, instead of always having to start with a flat-faced sim.

And the ear angle -- how great would that be? You could make all sorts of cool ears without having to resort to custom ear accessories.

Yeah, I know I can change the size (and I made those just slightly larger), but is there any way to change the actual shape? There isn't, is there?

I want to just slide it to the pointy ears. I'm thinking the only way would be to start from the faery/elf template and then change the face, or use the pacifier baby generator in CAS with an alien face and a face with pointy ears, until you roll a sim with both. There has to be an easier way that that...

Thanks. :)

Actually the pacifier worked really well for me. Thanks for the idea. I used the original Maxis pollinator plus a sim I'd already made, who had slightly less pointy ears than the usual template, and this was the result (well, the result I kept)



Would that work for you? At least as a starting point? I can package him up right quick.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would be great, if you don't mind.

I'm thinking that the less pointy ears would be nice, since I already have the Veronaville faery sims with the very pointy ears. I don't think fwiffo's PTs have ears that are completely pointy either. Jayne's ears seem more rounded than Bottoms.

I like that he ended up with a bit more chin too. :) Chins for the win!

He's here, under the name pointy_pollinator.rar

Feel free to edit however you want. For my set, I think I'll change his forehead/brow a bit, and make his hair one of the other colors. But the chin does look good, doesn't it? Makes him a little different from the usual PT.

Hey pixel and bean... could you put up a version of him in .zip format please?
