Curvy Full Figures in 3DX

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to add a full figure slider to our character customization now that the game is making a move to Unity 5? I can't be the only woman on here who would like to see this added to the game, right?

 

I included a few pictures to help better understand what I would really love to see. I hope the developers see this and make it possible for us ladies to walk around like this in their game! Thank you!

Great idea, which would help to make our world a little more authentic. I do wonder though, if they would have to redraw alternative sex poses, slow dances and hugs etc to accommodate a greater range of body shapes. I mean even now, if you slow dance someone wearing a baseball cap, the peak of the cap performs a frontal lobotomy, so attention to detail in our perky little milieu doesn't seem to be a major priority. Would the devs go to the trouble of doubling, maybe tripling, their workload to provide a wider range of body shape? I'm not so sure.

I get where you're coming from and I can see where asking for something like this could swamp the development team with unwanted re-drawing of certain sex animations, but I figure something like this was probably anticipated and written in the game's code.

 

After all, they would not have considered augmenting the breast size without also introducing a larger body frame capable of sustaining that look.

I understand there are tastes out there who ask for an even larger body frame, but asking for something like this is reasonable, right?

 

RobT brought up a good point earlier in this post where there should be a limit to how large your avatar can be adjusted.

 

I'm a size 18 and I'm 5 foot 5 inches tall. Asking the development team to make an avatar that looks just like my body frame in real life is not a reasonable request on my part by any means. I'm willing to compromise and just ask for something like the example pictures I posted (All of who are models of course, but the larger frame is what I'm suggesting).

 

I'm sure there are female developers and content contributors on the 3DXChat team who would LOVE to see this kind of body frame implemented at least to some form. Several female members of the community feel the same way, too.

 

It will allow us women to feel better engaged in the world, perhaps open ourselves up to a more practical and personal sex experience when we at least feel like that's us up on the screen. This could in turn, possibly attract more female players through a prospect of  'Playing An Avatar Just Like You', should members of the community plan to play this game socially, sexually, or both.

 

With the game shifting to Unity 5, with much better graphics and rendering, I don't see how a minor adjustment to the slider bar would hurt. Again, it's already available with our breasts.

 

I love looking like a porn star in the game, don't get me wrong, but that's not who I am. And I know that some men and women find the thought of a curvy avatar, a little too realistic.

 

And sure, one could argue that my heart is what matters and that my love for the game will clearly show though my avatar. But let's be honest, it couldn't hurt to show my heart and show off my curves, too.

 

Mind you, none of this is written maliciously. It's written from a good place in my heart, it really is. ♥

I found this video by chance online and thought I'd share it here, as one more consideration piece for the developers to implement sexy curves on the avatars here at 3DX. The link is clean, I promise. ♥

Aside from the straps missing on her heels, she's practically modeling the in game bikini and heels for us. And there are curves in just the right places! (God I wish I looked like her. lol )

 

Thank you all so much for your thoughts on the subject, I hope the developers have a chance to see this and adjust the game a bit for us! Add curves, and I'm in for a year!

 

And I meant curves, not surves. Just had to fix that. ^.^

If we were still playing under the Unity 4 engine or lower then yes, I could see where your argument for tear down and re-construction of in game poses and animations would be a pain in the neck to redraw again just to make female players of this game happy, but remember that we're talking about Unity 5 here, an improvement that developer Lisa has mentioned would bring ease to the creative process of this game, its content and several adjustments already in game.

 

It's just a small adjustment to the slider bar on our waist, butt, arms and legs proportionate to our avatar's body. If it's available for our breast size, it's probably already available for other parts of our bodies too. It's just a matter of slight adjustments. That's about it.

what i mean is : they will need to rework all the poses so when you dance ( for exemple ) with a hmmm ... not slim woman ( don't know this in english ) , your arms are outside of her body and not inside .

Again Leeloo, if we were playing Unity 4 or lower, I understand where you're coming from. This exact point was brought up by Claymore earlier in the thread about how baseball caps on women, when left on during a slow dance, dgs into the skull of the male avatar.

 

Will that stop you from dancing with a woman in game? Of course not. That's silly.

 

See, you're thinking about a change like this:

She's incredibly gorgeous, but this is not what I'm suggesting the developers of the game to create. In a perfect world, maybe. But I know it's not.

 

I'm asking them to consider something more like this:

If I were a female developer on this team, there would be no questioning this. Let's open up the game's code, adjust the slider so that the female avatar adds a few curves at the right places proportionate to our avatar's body, save the changes, introduce an update and it's done. Could it be that easy to do, I wonder? I don't know, but I imagine the process something similar, a project that could take a few hours, or days to work on.

 

For those of you who keep bringing up the point of animations and poses having to be reworked, please read through this carefully. 

 

Animations are not this intricate frame of details that have to be reworked and take years to redistribute back into a game. It's changing numbers on an x, y and z plane. In this particular case, it's a slider numbers adjustment I imagine.

 

It's a plus size model avatar I'm suggesting, not a big, beautiful woman on screen. Both are just as gorgeous.

 

Could something like this be a possibility, now that Unity 5 is here? It doesn't hurt to ask.

anytime you mess with body size, height, etc you stand to have pose issues. anyone in imvu knows what i mean. kisses and etc not lining up correctly. that is why i would be shocked if they ever did anything like that here. Not a bad idea, just dont see it happening as they are trying to keep pose quality

 

 

Its actually  great idea, everyone the same size is a tad boring. little meat on the bones is always a good thing

Paula, thank you for your post. Having a "perfect waist-to-bum-ratio" (according to my hubby *blushes*) myself, I so wished we could have some avatars with more curves.

 

(I deleted my doubts that this will ever happen, coz my critics got really nasty. And I promised myself to stay positive, which gets harder and harder with every month with no response by the devs to important topics and no significant update besides a hat)

You're welcome Sandra, and thanks of course, to others who have posted their thoughts on this thread about all of this— good or indifferent.

 

It's addressing the elephant in the room for sure, but you don't have to beat the elephant half to death just to get your point across. Rob brought up a good point about how asking for something like this, could alter the avatar's body the way it's been originally mapped in game, something that could cause, at least in a visual sense, problems down the road.

 

I never thought of it that way. I figured it was just an adjustment in numbers, but I now see how some animations, and their mapped surfaces, could suffer from errors. I could be wrong about my interpretations on how this game works, and I'm mature enough to understand my under sight on the subject.

 

Maybe the people working on this game will think,"You know what, let's try it out and see what happens. We have a new engine under the hood, the animations transferred over nicely, let's try a body adjustment and see what it looks like. If it doesn't work, we can always revert back to the way it was, and I'm sure women will understand. We will give them a heads up for the change, and give them time to let them know that it's screwing up the game, and put it back to the way it was."

 

I understand it's hard not to talk about this sort of thing without the urge to steer this conversation, into a nauseating bickering back and forth about how the people working on this game never read this or, how this game is run by men and they only want us to look like that because, foreign or domestic, they're sexist pigs.

 

God knows that shit's rampant in the news today, we sure as hell don't need it in a game designed with sex in mind. I would be doing women a giant disservice if my thoughts about starting a thread on here, originated with thoughts like that in mind.

 

That's another elephant in the room worth noting too, but not one string of conversation from that could bring about anything constructive. it would only further divide this community down the middle even more, when it's about bringing the community together.

 

For the most part, and I mean this with every loving fiber in my heart, it's certainly healthy to talk about the possibilities, to imagine what could happen, to daydream. Unity 5 brings with it, a good hope for great things for this game.

 

A girl can dream, can't she? ♥ ^-^
