Free Templates Part 4 - Final CMFF Master Templates.

Here's the final complete CMFF clothing and skin templates with lots of useful features to make your life easier. Use them any way you like, just please keep my name on them if you modify them.

-----------------------------FEATURES-------------------------------

Color Coded Seam Guide: the wide color blocks along the edges show what seams connect to what. The colors and number labels correspond to connecting seams.

Color Coded Edge Guide: The multicolored stripe along the outer edges show what polygon edges connect together. Connecting edges share the same color.

Shading Guide Layer: Shows some faint shading to help you figure out how the template corresponds to the shape of the avatar and where things like nipples, toes, toenails, and fingernails are located.

Skirt Matching Guide: The upper body and skirt templates are marked with colored vertical stripes. Use them to match details from top to skirt for doing dresses.

--------------------------DOWNLOADS-------------------------------

-------------------------OTHER STUFF-----------------------------

There are some other great templates by Robin Sojourner you should take a look at also, especially if you prefer to work with vectors. You can find them here:

Pyxel Courier created a nifty tutorial for combining all the features for my and Robin's templates along with some general useage tips. You can find it here:

I've also created some handy topography guides for male and female shapes to aid in shading and feature placement. You can find them here:

There are also some guides to help you plot horizontal lines like stripes and hemlines on the male and female avatars. Thanks to Arikinui Adria for hosting them:

you are an awesome possum.

Thanks Zuzi! Turns out I had time to finish them today after all.

Thank you Chip for your work and generousity to share
Hugs, Z

Hey Chip, I have 2000GB of traffic all pretty unused right now, and I would be happy to host the files for you. I'll also send you a PM about it.

Yayyyy!! Someone else uses that phrase!!

Chip, I have to agree. You're just about the awesomest possum that ever lived

Thanks you guys And thanks Aaron for volunteering to host them! Very generous of you.
We're getting it set up now so they should be downloadable very soon. Woot!

I edited the original post to add a link to the page where you can download the PSD files. Thanks again Aaron!

Chip,

You are WAYYYYY up there on people I admire in SL.

You consistently make quality products and you are generous and helpful at the same time.

Geeeez....you're just a NICE guy.

Thanks for the templates.

Yes, and he kicks Dr. Machino's butt!

Thanks for sharing all your hard work Chip!

Does this part 4 replace the other three parts or is it advisable to collect them as well to work with?

Thank's for the hard work Chip.

Thanks all

Bobby, you may find the previously posted templates useful still, but they probably aren't necessary if you use these PSD files. I don't think there are any features on my other templates that aren't on these new ones also. It's just a matter of personal preference. If you're unable to use the layered PSD files then I'd grab the jpg versions from all of the free templates threads

Chip rocks my face. These are fantastic!

Thank's Chip I will grab the PSD ones> I prefer them anyway.

Many thanks for all the kind words! I just uploaded them and applied them to a skin to check the accuracy and they seem to be dead on (woot!). I added a pic to the first post showing it worn as a skin. These should make precision work a whole lot easier. If you'd like a copy of the skin just ask and I'll drop one on you in world. It's useful for checking your clothing uploads.

Thanks again Chip, and thank you Aaron for the generous donation of bandwidth I just sucked down. At nearly 10MB a pop (zipped!) these templates are nothing to sneeze at!

I [heart] Chip Midnight.

I love you Chip! You are awesome

Good work on the templates!

You know... wow, just wow. I remember version what? 1.01 or something WAY back when. These are seriously amazing Chip they've come a long way. The time and effort and generosity you've poured into these is just amazing. Even through all the BS you had to put up with posting the older versions, you just keep on impressing us. much much props.
Where are all the smart asses piping up about how Chip: "stole the templates and claimed creidt" now?

yeah, thas right... respect STFU

as always:
Chip Midnight > Spider Mandala

Aw thanks Spider. SL has been very good to me. This is just my way of giving something back. It's not pure altruism. I wanted to use them too! Getting a line to match up over a UV seam shouldn't be some kind of proprietary knowledge, hehe. These are probably the last templates I'll do until LL changes the avatar mapping, though I may add a new reference layer for the PSD versions now and then.

Ty Ty Ty

Chip,

Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing these with the community. I have added a link to the site hosting the downloads into the "Where can I download the clothing templates?" article in the SLuniverse Knowledge Base, since it is one of the most viewed articles on the site.
