Female playerset revision

Post by Crush »

To make the female playerset more feminine i made a little modification at the legs on the front and back view. I think it changes a lot and it is a quite simple modification that isn't really much work. I just moved both legs one pixel closer to the center and anti aliased the edges:

As you can see i needed a half hour for both. That means 15 minutes extra work for all future pants.

Can you please put the original and the new version next to each other for comparison?

As it looks now, I think it's a great idea.

I think you overdid it. It's hard to say without seeing the animation but the legs looks to close to me.

And I think maybe the standing pose should be kept the same. Females make their steps more in a straight line, but I don't think they stand with their feet squeezed together.
Not sure though.

Now we generalize a bit to much. Granted it's allowed in games.
Yes women have their feets closer but not that much and not all of them by a long shot.
I've seen women walk like men with their shoulders and men with their hips like women. No puns please, you know what I mean.
Women generaly walk with their hips and their legs closer together but not to the extent of Crush pictures. It looks like the model does that walk where you walk with your feet on a straight line so that you have to swing wide of the front leg with the other and then place it on the line.
But as said I could be wrong. Have to see the animation first. It's easy to get the wrong impression by pictures taken from an animation.

The point is not to have things as realistic as possible, but to have them as immediately recognizable as possible without excersizing so much that it is offensive. I think we've not gone (too) wrong on this along the way.
