BG3 Lazy Tailor - an Outfit Refitting Tool for Blender (alpha)

God you lot have no idea how good it feels to finally have a good video demo to show off for this. Anyway, as stated earlier, Lazy Tailor is an outfit refitting tool for Blender. Its goal is to take the tedium out of creating meshes for different body types by making the process both quicker and easier. In the video you can see an outfit being refitted from HUM_M to GYT_M, then to HUM_MS all at the click of a few buttons.

Lazy Tailor works first by snapping the positions of bones in the current body's armature to their counterparts in the target body's armature. Then, it applies a pre-set "pose" to a specialised controller rig, which allows for more accurate control over the final shape. Once the pre-set has been applied the user is then able to use the rig themselves to achieve their desired result. An added bonus of refitting the mesh this way is that in some cases the mesh's weight painting dose not have to be redone, though that is situational.

As it stands, the tool is in late alpha, the core components have been completed but its got a while to go still.

Aemuloime Attraction; Expanded.

(PT: Aemuloime Attraction; Expanded. /End PT)

As mentioned here (link), here's our first installment of further discussion of attraction types we've made. For this installment, the attraction type we'll be focusing on is Aemuloime Attraction, which was posted here (link) & can be viewed on our site here (link).

This post will answer four questions, those being;

What does Aemuloime Attraction feel like?

What does an Aemuloime relationship look like?

Who might use or find Aemuloime Attraction helpful?

What attraction types are similar or adjacent too Aemuloime Attraction?

Before we answer these questions though, we'd like to mention that this is not an exhaustive or exclusive list of what Aemuloime Attraction feels & looks like; This is just enough examples to further explain Aemuloime Attraction than originally defined!

With that out of the way, let's begin.

What does Aemuloime Attraction feel like?

(PT: What does Aemuloime Attraction feel like? /End PT)

In its most simple form, as originally defined, Aemuloime Attraction feels like wanting to copy, imitate, or mimic someone, or wanting to be copied, imitated, or mimicked. Below are some more examples & expanded examples of how Aemuloime Attraction feels & presents itself;

Someone wanting to either be someone else, or just not themself, & alleviating this by copying, imitating, or mimicking others.

Someone finding the act of being copied, imitated, or mimicked flattering, or entertaining & fun.

Someone feeling that they don't fit in with others or society, & combating this by copying, imitating, or mimicking those they feel do fit in.

Someone finding themself/something about themself unpleasant, but feels comfort when seeing others with those traits.

Someone idolizing or looking up towards another, & copying, imitating, or mimicking, said individual to feel closer to them.

All of these examples could have many reasons for what causes them, some examples being atypical dysphoria, alterhumanity, mental & physical illnesses/symptoms, systemhood, etc. In the end though, what all these examples share is the act of copying, imitation, or mimicry.

What does an Aemuloime relationship look like?

(PT: What does an Aemuloime relationship look like? /End PT)

All Aemuloime relationships include, to some degree, the acts of copying, imitation, or mimicry. Below are some specific examples of how an Aemuloime relationship could look like;

Partner A getting into similar interests & hobbies as Partner B as a result of Partner B wanting Partner A to copy their interests & hobbies.

Partner A dying their hair brown because Partner B & Partner C have brown hair, & Partner A wants to mimic their looks.

Partner A starts wearing dark blue colored-contacts because Partner B has light blue eyes, & Partner A wants to imitate Partner B's eye color.

Partner A & Partner B start drawing in more cartoonish art styles because Partner C has a cartoonish art style.

Partner A makes their body movements more noticeable so Partner B can mimic them easier.

Partner A explains their daily schedule in detail so Partner B & Partner C can imitate it.

It's worth noting that an Aemuloime relationship doesn't guarantee that one partner will fully mimic another, & instead might only mimic a few, or only one thing. Those in an Aemuloime relationship also don't have to exclusively be mimicked or be mimicking, they can do both!

Who might use or find Aemuloime Attraction helpful?

(PT: Who might use or find Aemuloime Attraction helpful? /End PT)

Any alterhuman/nonhumans & neurodivergent individuals might find Aemuloime Attraction useful, but here's some more specific examples;

Mimic or Shapeshifter Alterhumans, Nonhumans, & System Members, such as those who mimic others instinctively.

Anyone who copies, imitates, & mimics others to understand them better, such as those who do so out of curiosity or an urge to gain knowledge.

Neurodivergent Individuals who aren't aware of social norms, & mimic others in social situations.

Neurodivergent Individuals with anxiety, such as social anxiety, who imitate others to feel safer.

Neurodivergent Individuals with avoidant symptoms, such as AvPD, who copy others to avoid showing their own self/identity.

Anyone who feels they lack an identity, & copy, imitate, or mimic others to make/give themself one.

While Aemuloime Attraction was made specifically with alterhumans & neurodivergent individuals, it is not exclusive to such. The above examples only mention them often because this section is focused more or specific people then general people.

What attraction types are similar or adjacent too Aemuloime Attraction?

(PT: What attraction types are similar or adjacent too Aemuloime Attraction? /End PT)

Mimicanec; Similar in its mentions of mimicry & mimics.

Mimivocanec; Similar in its mentions of mimicry & mimics.

Envious/Invidious; Adjacent in its mentions to have s similar appearance or presentation towards one's object of attraction.

Since this is our first installment of in-depth posts like this, we are very open to suggestions, such as things to change or explain further, as well as other topics we should include in these discussions!

On today's dropping everything to fixiate on one hyperspecific thing: Clara working on Ripley's own map (fun fact, they're neighbors!) inspired me to actually redo not just the ARV house outdoor patio, but the whole house graphic as well in 24 hours.

Here's the final seasonal as well because I'm very fond of them

Realizing kid me would absolutely SHIT THEMSELVES if I told them I drew dinosaurs and furries for a living

Shoutout to FAUNA and the Salt Raiders for being able to get me into jobs that just happen to fit my weirder niche fields of work

[daybreakthing]

Well I suppose since we're remaking our attraction type list & neoumbrella list I might as well empty our drafts of the related posts.

Well I uploading a distance modding tutorial, I can get back to making distance mods. Not gonna post the video on this blog since it's directed towards Distance modders.

FUCKING

I POSTED THIS CLIP OF A MODEL SWAP TO MY TWITTER

AND

[volno]

Finally done with the male skin, at long fucking last. That being said there's still a lot that I need to do, mainly finishing the female skin; then I have to convert both texture sets to the vanilla bodies, fix up some stuff on the back end of things, and create some patches for a few mods. There's also a few miscellaneous cosmetics I'm thinking about adding, like some optional whiskers and some custom makeup/colour overlays; but we will see if I get to that.

[flagtism]

a post & radiomogai's tags on said post got us thinking, so we wanted to try and expand per se on the attraction types we've coined by talking about what the attraction can feel like, what a relationship might be like, etc.

we want to do this for all of the attraction types we've made, but for now we're starting with the non-alteraffectis & non-lyricen one's we've made.

fair warning these descriptions might seen lackluster or vague/broad, this is because of the fact that talking about these attraction types we've made for ourselves is, in some form, talking about ourselves, which is something we don't like to do due to avpd.

anyways, all posts like this will be tagged "flagtism discussions" for ease of finding ^^

I should update my sidebar a bit. I actually posted a video recently on how to mod Distance with the Thunderstore now. Felt good to make that video.

Next up, I'm going to make a little tutorial for other modders. From there, I guess porting more mods. Yippee!
