Civilian Clothes by Quackier

[compact surge]

Hello! I’m a former character artist who now wants to explore 3D clothing art field as a hobby. I expect to release this clothing pack around January, as I’m still rebuilding my old skills.
This is also my first clothing project in about a year, so I’ll need 1–2 months to refine and regain my abilities.

If you have any ideas or concepts for this pack, please share them. I’d be happy to include anything that fits the civilian profile.

This thread is primarily for sharing my progress, but you’re welcome to join the discussion as well

80s European civilian clothes for sure sounds interesting and expands on the vanilla theme would be great! Nice to see a soft body modeller

[wise cairn]

Definitely shorts!

[compact surge]

Great idea! It’s also one of the easiest things to make. I will definitely be adding shorts.

The style in the USA nowadays is khakis 5 inch inseam shorts If that’s makes sense

[compact surge]

I’m thinking about more modern and casual clothes, but if you have any references, I’d love to add them to the list.

Im a big pmc enjoyer and I would love some jeans with tears. Not absolutely shredded, but just like pre torn jeans you can get at stores. Also, elbow pads, some people have knee pads, but haven't seen elbow pads.

[compact surge]

I’ll be adding clean jeans to the list, but I don’t plan on including elbow pads since I feel they break civilian immersion. For the first release, I’m not considering any hard-surface accessories, but if the pack gets picked up by some servers, I’ll add bracelets and necklaces to match different outfits.

Oh thst sounds awesome

I did some modeling practice on pants today. I hope I can regain my abilities quickly 😅 .

Three piece suits?

[compact surge]

I tried using an existing suit garment and fitted it to the model, but I’m not sure if it looks good on the Arma base mesh since it’s more muscular than regular male anatomy.

It might work better if I make it tighter in the loose areas.

tighter version

Would you ever consider making bracelets or watches? Quackier

[compact surge]

Yes, after the first release, I will be adding accessories such as backpacks, hats, bracelets, bundled bracelets, and watches but no shoes will be included, as I don’t enjoy modeling them.

But given the circumstances, there’s a high possibility that I’ll be focusing on other projects, as civilian clothing isn’t as popular as military outfits in arma. If that happens, I would probably put the high-poly models in a drive and make them available for anyone who wants to use the assets in their own projects.

idk if youre still open to suggestions, and the fuzzy texture might be hard to pull off, but seeing something like fleece jackets would be cool

[compact surge]

I’m always open to suggestions, so thanks! Making woolly jackets is definitely possible, but I’m not sure how they’ll look in-game. I’ll probably have to do some trial and error, since I’m not sure how it will turn out in low-poly version.

[compact surge]

I just did a quick demo, this texture looks close enough in style. I can refine it in Substance and make the woolly bits smaller and better when I start making it for real. @woven magnet

[woven magnet]

damn that was impressively fast
looks really good too

[compact surge]

I’m thinking about fixing the sweatshirt and implementing it into the game to see how difficult it’ll be. I might also switch to something simpler, like a T-shirt, to make the rigging process easier for my first try.

Trench coat suit?

[quick kernel]

There’s a fur shader in Reforger that can be used for bits like this, let me see if I can dig up my attempt at using it

[compact surge]

Oh, that’s great to hear! That’ll make it easier to work on thanks man :D

[quick kernel]

Yeah it basically just takes an extra map for fur length

Never got to use it because it doesn’t work properly with headgear items (won’t hide in first person), but should work great for things like fleece or hoods

[compact surge]

That might be a bit too extreme. I’d rather start with something more simpler. 😅

[wise cairn]

Patton uniform? lol

[spiral bone]

How’s the mod going quackier?

[wise cairn]

Maybe a detective look??
