It works!! Thanks to the helpful advice on this entry I was able to create this hoodie using two different groups!
So, the undershirt is made out of the maxis nude male top (but I had to shrink it down quite a bit so it wouldn't clip into the hood, underneath this guy's sweater he is sort of freaky looking..) so anyone can slap the textures of millions of shirts that are already out there underneath (like aikea's shirts, wendigo's shirts.. you know).
And the hoodie is on a totally separate .bmp, and will show up over any high-waisted bottoms. I also adjusted it so there is NO CLIPPING with any of the maxis bottoms from the eps that I have. I feel pretty proud of myself. ;D
I already combined the 3 maxis textures with some of ja's shirt default textures.
If you want, you can download the 3 maxis hood textures with ja's textures underneath, plus my new mesh! (no morphs, I was waaay too tired of working on this mesh to make morphs.)
Everything (except the pocket on the arm, and the whole hood) is hand-painted.
What do you think?
EDIT: I uploaded my retextures here!

Date: March 18th, 2011 07:15 pm (UTC)To be honest, I'm not sure about the ones second two pictures because the arrows seem odd to me. I like the fact that the under shirt isn't striped but the sleeves are because it makes it seem like it's triple layered and I like that look.
I'd like more designs on the chest like in the first picture, maybe something like geeky Thundercats logos or Transformers, something for my geeky guys. Or like buttons there. (But then again, that's completely on you and I would totally download these without that.)
Also I like how the pocket isn't painted on, it pops out - little details like that make me sooooo happy. Also Aquilegia's linen textures are not used enough in my opinion, they always look sooooo soft to me.

Date: March 18th, 2011 07:31 pm (UTC)I usually don't do anything with logos because.. I don't really know why. xD I'll be sharing my .psd though so you can of course make your own, or maybe I can make a small subset for you if you find me the logos you want?
OMG I KNOW I love that little pocket!
Aquilegia's linen texture is like magic, with the right shading it looks great on almost any mesh.

Date: March 18th, 2011 07:43 pm (UTC)I also understand the logos thing, some people don't like them and I would try but idk if that psd would work with Paint.net since Photoshop won't work on my comp. If it doesn't I'll send you some logos. I need to put that on my list since I already promised nemestnaya I'd send her some pictures of my clutter so she can use them for reference.
LITTLE MESHED DETAILS! I squealed, I really did, I absolutely think that more meshes need tiny details like that, it makes me fall in love with certain meshes.
Oh God, I know! Just looking at those textures make me want linen clothes, I used to have a pair of black linen pants and they were the comfiest things in the world. I wore them whenever I felt uncomfortable and it just made me smile. You know how certain textures just look amazing in game? Her linen is at the top of my list.

Date: March 18th, 2011 09:22 pm (UTC)And your textures are beautiful, the shading does not look gray at all and I really like the wrinkles and the way the seaming looks! I'd snag them in an heartbeat! :D

Date: March 18th, 2011 09:37 pm (UTC)Your retexture makes it kind of look like one piece, rather than a jacket that can be opened and closed. On the maxis texture, it looks more like a zipped up jacket because on one side of where it zips up it is slightly shaded, and the line continues into the bottom hem. The button on the hem also helps in making it look less like one piece. If the one piece hoodie was the look that you were going for, then uh, disregard that. I still like it. This is just in case you were wanting to make it look zipped up.
As for the texture, it looks really good. I think the darker lines on the back of the hood look a slight bit too pronounced, but it's not a big deal. The last thing is that at the bottom of the hoodie, there seems to be a shaded corner that I don't really understand what it's there for. Sorry for being so nit-picky.

Date: March 19th, 2011 12:33 am (UTC)I was going for a more one-piece hoodie, I just wanted to make things really simple for myself and the physical mesh has all of the parts meshed on that I felt I didn't need to add texture to.
I tried to fix the hood and lighten it a bit for the final version, and the shaded corner is a little hidden pocket type thing. Don't apologize! I actually didn't read this comment until after I was finished with the new set, or else I would have fixed my texture better according to your suggestions. :)
