CAF4 bikinis, post one of two

In one sense, this post is about four bikinis, one each of the following styles: 34A32 thong, 34A34 thong, 34Bd34 Maxis (but on a Warlokk Hi-Res BodyShape mesh), and 34Bn34 thong. If you want bikinis, they are bikinis-- albeit in unusually large .zip files-- and the rest of this verbiage is irrelevant to their use thereof, and may safely be skipped entirely.

In another sense, though, these are resources for creators. The texture files are starting points for clothing matching other CAF4 stuff. (Without a hard seam along the top-bottom join if need be-- although saturation matching may well present a problem, since I couldn't use effects stable in that domain for everything. But hey-- you can always get it close, and add a belt. With two of the BCC3 dresses, I had to do just that-- although that was because the patterns were too uniform to hide the join well.)

They live on Warlokk's meshes because (A) everything has to be somewhere, (B) I needed bikinis for various shapes anyway, and (C) there's seldom any great need to burn shadows onto a texture to get a perfectly adequate looking bikini. The meshes are available in Warlokk's Dungeon: start from

The second post, containing C & D bikins making use of the other four textures, will follow, barring spontaneous human combustion or some other such unforseeable event.


Design notes:

The textures themselves been tiled. Most are mirrored, to facilitate rapid production of clothing with less glaring seams along the front-back join. Some are noisy, some aren't. For instance, the floral "civ" and the "iceFlower" have been left mostly alone. The herringbone has quite a bit of noise, since otherwise that pattern is prone to Moire effects; camoflages are noisy by design. (The dark camoflage is also on a rough, lumpy fabric-- more like a flak jacket than a cotton print.) The leathers have *not* been artifically noised, and in fact lost a fair bit of detail during the tiling procedure. (Fortunately, that still left plenty for our purposes, since humans are on a larger scale than the patch of leather the digitization was taken from.) The denim is little BUT white and fractal noise-- and before it really looks like any sort of denim but smoothest and newest sort, it needs more. (This is one reason the jacket on the 34De model looks so little like a real denim jacket-- as is, it's nowhere NEAR rough enough.)
