FFX2 Yuna - Gunner

The Final Fantasy X2 outfits were exceptionally difficult to reproduce. The level of detail in them took a great deal of time to reproduce. There were also a tremendous amount of textures that I had to build to capture all of the detail.

I've seen a lot of variations of this outfit in Second Life, and I honestly think this is the most accurate rendition of the Yuna Gunner Dresssphere Costume in the simulation. The most problematic detail in the whole costume was that Yuna's character has different colored eyes. I had to texture a blue and green eyeball then, map that onto a hollow half-sphere prim and attach them to the avatar eyeballs. That was tedious work.

I want to do Yuna's Dark Knight Dressphere Costume as well, but that is going to a take a while to build. I don't even want to think about the number of prims it will take to make that suit of armor.

FFX2 Rikku - Thief

This was a rather fun, but frustrating FFX2 costume to reproduce. I had to build the swirled-pupil eyes of the Al Behd, but I was able to texture map them onto the eyeballs because both eyes were the same.

The difficult part of this costume was recreating all of the flexible fabric in it. The skirt, bows on the arms and scarf are all flexible. It took a lot of meddling with each prim's gravity to get the outfit to flow realistically when the avatar moves.

The hair was a real pain in the ass to build because Rikku had so many braids and colored beads. Not to mention the scarf wrapped around her head. This costume is accurate from her head to her shoes. The only thing I couldn't duplicate was flexible hair braids. When I built the outfit, Second Life didn't have the capability to attach a solid prim to a flexi prim and have them move in concert.

This is one of my more favorite costumes.

Abby's Fishnet

I like to watch NCIS, so I decided to do a line of gothic clothing and name it Abby, after the character on the show. The outfit has a lot of fishnet, studded bands and barbed wire. A perfect outfit for a night in the mosh pit.
