There are definitely certain items that need some work but I feel most of those mentioned are just because of general personal opinion. Such items as the rugged jacket appearing too shiney to some look perfect to others. I personally enjoy the look of style it gives my customers I make it for. As for the Soft undershirtI did the test you mentioned Gyopi and I do notice a minor difference in color when standing in a poorly lit room, butdonot consider it to be enough of a reasonto really start a campaign to lighten the texture. You need to take in to mind that those two items are made to look like they are made of different material types. The undershirt is made of a soft material that would seem to soften color and leave plenty of room for small shadows in the fabric itself. Think of a wool sweater and how different lighting makes shadows play across its surface.Its meant to be that way for a reason to best emulate real life objects in an electronicly rendered world.


The only itemsthat really need to be looked at is Wookiee related clothing. The green "moss" look is very hurtful and seriously does cut down on color combos that customers consider acceptible.


I'll agree to the full color pallet for the spec ops duster as well Dex1138


Everything else can be blamed onkinds ofmaterial types for the varieties in clothing colorization to best represent real life clothing objects. Remember complaining about something you consider ugly or unsightly may bethe one reason someone makes it in the first place.

I think giving tailors the option to select different textures at different levels of tailoring (similar to how the color selection is set up) would be the perfect solution for all. Not everyone is ever going to agree on one way or another. Not only would it solve problems like dingy colors, but it would give tailors more customization which is what we all truly desire most. I think that is something that could be agreed upon by most if not all.

add the light bustier to that list. It does come out in a nice white, it's sort of a grey white color which doesn't work weddings.
