And now something almost completely random
What? I've been itching to post this since I saw this thread. Just be happy I could restrain myself so long

Well at the very least we appreciate that you are considering improvements in this area. Along the lines of what Cassie_Storm posted about I've been waiting almost 8 years for a new type of female bikini bottom that has the "shiny" texture to match the "shiny tights" top. I think whatever you add AFTER that must-have addition will be considered a bonus for everyone... hint, hint... |

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I would love to have bikini bottom and skirt textures that match the textures of sleek tights, leather, etc. That way if I use a sleek tights top, my bikini bottom or skirt can match so it looks like a single piece.
Also, I'd like to see leather textures that are super shiny.
Thank you!
Edit: Hah! Posted 3 minutes too late!

Making a high res version of the exact same thing means that getting rid of the old, SD version is ok. But if the 'HD' version actually adds seams and a mesh-texture to the piece, that is not, in essence, the same piece. Then it's not cool to have one but cut the other, as that's replacement, not an upgrade.
Hope that makes sense

Oh gods, yes, THIS! ^^^ A thousand times this! A skin layer would do wonders for having stuff like tattoos + tops, different skin types, fur, etc. Please make that happen!

So I was gonna suggest here(since this thread seems the appropriate place) that you could make tops like these as body-hugging "Chest Detail" pieces that go over top of the skin. That way you would still have the costume part, but you could pick your own skin beneath it (or use another Tights option as well.) We already have very tight, body-hugging Chest Detail parts such as the Roman armor and the Barbarian Corsets, so theoretically this is something that could be done. Ideally these pieces would be available in addition to the normal directly-on-Chest parts we have now. And if this is something that's possible, all 3 model types should be looked at (Female, Male, and Huge) as they all have some pieces that show some skin, like T-shirts and Tank tops and such. |

I was really disappointed when I found out that the Barbarian 'fur shorts' were put under tights meaning I could never use them with zombie or reptilian legs.
It would've worked much better if it had been put under belts.

Agreed - as long as the shape is the same but the resolution is better then I see this as being "OK". If shape/texture/etc. changes then the Legacy should remain intact and kept as is.

They offer this for the barbarian "glove" with the iron ring - ring is one color, skin another (if you take that option to have the skin as tights) -I just wish they'd revist that piece andmake the ring two-tone when not over tights. :/

Yes. But I would also like to see some options for regular "Tights with skin" specifically more stocking options other than the fishnet ones maybe just opaque version of those.

C) modern super-hero tights (w/ ribbing, surface texture(s), subdivided surfaces) a la Ultimates 1 or Marvel movies. Some say that the Defense and Olympian Guard base textures cover this style fairly well. Do you agree? |

No! haha. I hope they can implement a reflective shash for F/M/H, I wont mind if it's tinted but at least I can colorize it |

And even though females just got the CoL sash (jealous of course haha) we could defiantly use one for M/H but like above image :P
Would definitely like to see some textures added, ala modern heroes. And to go along with that, some color pattern options that directly match with any patterns on the tights (would like to see this for all costume pieces). For instance, there are the "Justice" pants, but there's no "Justice" color pattern to highlight the side details in the pants.
Since this looks like a good area to also say it again...
Give Disco style leggings with a Bikini Bottom that can mesh with the tights options, instead of just those short short options it comes with.

Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
The middle one still needs raised edges to make it look like a separate item, and not just painted on.
